On Point: Simultaneous Strategic Bombing Strike, 12 Day War and Mid-East Peace?

As I write this column late on June 24, Israel and Ayatollah Iran have stopped their latest battle of long-range missiles and bombs.

A tentative ceasefire holds, a ceasefire more or less personally imposed by U.S. president Donald Trump.

The predicate for Trump's ability to demand a ceasefire? The U.S. Air Force 509th Bomb Wing's jaw-dropping raid on and likely destruction of Iran's most critical nuclear weapons facilities -- located in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.

Early in what Trump calls the 12 Day War, Israeli attacks destroyed Iranian air-space defenses, giving Israel air superiority over Iran. Israel could bomb anywhere. However, it lacked the penetration punch to destroy Iran's fortified nuclear facilities.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
