Most Iranians are completely fed up with the oppressive reign of the mullahs, and most Middle East countries are completely fed up with the organized terrorism being exported by Iran, which has been destabilizing the region for the last four decades.
Victor David Hanson accurately observes in the National Review that "Iran deeply erred in thinking that Trump's restraint was permanent, that his impeachment meant he had lost political viability, that he would go dormant in an election year, that the stature of his left-wing opponents would surge in such tensions, and that his base would abandon him if he dared to use military force."
Why, pray tell, did Iran miscalculate so badly? Could it be that the mullahs were reading the same leftist propaganda the mainstream media has been spewing about Trump for years now, and, observing the recent vote for impeachment in the U.S. House of Representatives, grossly underestimating both Trump's strength, and his huge popularity among the vast swathe of the United states sandwiched between the left and right coasts who pound nails, install tile, ride both farm and long-haul tractors, style hair, clean bedpans in hospitals, and wait tables?
What he's just done, given Iran's escalating provocations towards the U.S. in recent years, including the humiliating seizure of a naval vessel complete with pictures of cringing, weeping American sailors, shows a remarkable level of prudence and patience.
The Iranians crossed two red lines, almost simultaneously: they killed an American contractor and wounded several U.S. military personnel in a rocket attack on a military base in northern Iraq on December 27th. Now the Left is predictably quaking at the thought of Iranian retaliation.
My friend Kaveh talks to his father in Teheran practically every day - or at least those days when Iran doesn't suspend the internet.
The mainstream media is ignoring the ongoing protests that have been rocking Iran for the last two years.
