WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Monday told reporters he believes the war in Iran “militarily is effectively over,” suggesting that — at least for now — he’s not prepared to resume the bombardment that has devastated the Islamic Republic and caused reverberations across the global economy.
Main goal: stop their uranium enrichment Secondary: destroy as much of their military as possible Third: weaken the regime enough to allow the Iranians to topple the regime
A colossal failure, then.
I don’t think so. Primary seems to have worked, that seems to be on hold and they offered to part with their stock of highly enriched uranium in the MoU, something they were adamantly against before the attack Secondary: they must have done bilions of damage in these strikes, destroying infrastructure, navy and airforce. So certainly not what they hoped for wrt missile capability but yeah, massive damage Third: no real movement there. If we’re positive the above certainly have weakened their position vs no action
