President Trump demands unconditional surrender from Iran as the air campaign of U.S. and Israeli strikes intensifies.

We are walloping them. That much is clear. Secretary of War, Hegset has laid out that there is,

We are not even losing a single plane and destroying the entire military infrastructure of a nation of 90 million people in a pretty big country

Now, this is likely to go on for weeks.

This could go on for months.

That is very much still an open question.

I think based on the pace and scale of these strikes,

the Iranian regime will cease to be in a position to assert meaningful control over large swaths of the country. Now, in the northwestern corner of Iran and near Kermanshah, there's a Kurdish pocket.

It's about 15% of the population of Iran is Kurdish, and they will be able to stabilize

that, and this will be at least one area that I think we don't have to have very much
