No Victory Laps
By J. Robert Smith
Weekend before last, President Trump threaded the needle. On his orders, not one but three Iranian nuclear weapons development installations were blown to kingdom come. If those installations had souls, they’d be frolicking in Nirvana with the ten Iranian nuclear scientists that Israel Defense Forces knocked off.
Iran’s nuclear weapons ambitions are severely crippled. The massive heaps of rubble buried underground are testaments to Trump’s resolve. But neocons are forlorn. Trump nixed regime change. It’s doubtful that the mullahs will try to retaliate any time soon. Persians, like Asians, tend to take longer views, anyway. If reprisals come, they’d come after Trump leaves office, though Trump’s hoped-for successor J.D. Vance might not take kindly to attempts by the mullahs at delayed gratification. Maybe the mullahs will have sense enough to quit, though we know that the neocons won’t quit. There’s an endless war out there waiting to happen.
