So, what exactly did the US accomplish with its midnight strike on three targets in Iran?
1. Iran’s critical nuclear infrastructure appears to be intact – or at worst, only minimally damaged.
2. Uranium enrichment will continue. And let’s just say it plainly now: so will Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons.
3. Several countries are reportedly ready to supply Iran with nuclear warheads directly.
4. Israel is under fire, explosions are echoing through its cities, and civilians are panicking.
5. The US is now entangled in yet another conflict, this one carrying the very real possibility of a ground war.
6. Iran’s political leadership has not only survived – it may have grown stronger.
7. Even Iranians who opposed the regime are now rallying around it.
8. Donald Trump, the self-styled peace president, has just launched a new war.
9. The overwhelming majority of the international community is siding against the US and Israel.
10. At this rate, Trump can kiss that Nobel Peace Prize goodbye – despite how absurdly compromised the award has become.
So, congratulations, Mr. President. Truly a stellar start.
