Israel’s Iran ‘experts’ assured Trump that a few key strikes and assassinations would quickly topple Iran’s theocracy. Instead, the converse has happened. Even those Iranians who might have been lukewarm in their support of the Ayatollah are now rallying in defiance of the West
“I have a big decision coming up. Do I want to go in and annihilate them [the Iranian regime] or do I not? It’s a big decision. Anything could happen…” – President Trump to Axios Sept 17, 2026.

Iranian counter strikes have taken a heavy toll on U.S. military morale and equipment. With one official telling the Intercept that the situation was “ultimately unsustainable”

Trump’s war with Iran is turning into a debacle. In one 24 -hour period alone Iran shot down three US MQ-1 drones. Each one costs upwards of $30 million
