Summary

Leaked defense intelligence documents obtained by CNN allege that last Saturday night’s strike against Iran’s nuclear infrastructure only set the country’s nuclear program back a few months.  However, the CIA reported this week that it would take “years” for Iran to rebuild its nuclear capabilities.  Bottom line: It doesn’t matter how long it takes Iran to rebuild its nuclear weapon’s program. What matters is will the next presidential administration have the courage to take the Iranian threat serious and bomb them, again, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:”    👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.
