 Top aides advise Trump blasting Iran’s infrastructure is fair game

WASHINGTON—Top aides have privately made the case to President Trump in recent days that Iran’s power-generating facilities and bridges are legitimate military targets because destroying them could cripple the country’s missile and nuclear programs, officials say.

Trump embraced the rationale, sharply questioned by legal experts and human-rights groups, in a nationwide address Wednesday when he vowed to bomb Iran “back to the stone ages.”
 
By Saturday, as an urgent rescue mission was under way to find a missing U.S. aviator whose aircraft was shot down in Iran, the president showed no signs of backing down on the new strategy.

“Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT,” he posted on Truth Social. “Time is running out—48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them.”

Maybe, but it might not be the wisest course of action.

Nah, I say level it all, World War II-style.  The Iranians have had it coming since 1979, and it will teach them and our other adversaries a lesson.
