Badra, how do you think this plays out over the coming weeks and months?

Because at some point, yeah, they might run out of missiles, but that doesn't necessarily

mean the war is over.

I'm presuming that the US don't want to throw soldiers on the ground in Iran either.

So what, like, how does this play out and how long?

And that's one of the major strategic errors that we made in attacking Iran.

They have the benefit of time,

not us. They can choose how to react, when to react, in what way to react. We don't know if they

have a dirty bomb that they're finishing up in some underground bunker right now. That's just

going to sit there and wait until American boots on the ground show up. The fact that you guys

think that current nuclear deployments have

nothing to do with what's going on Iran, it's, I want to respect that opinion, but to me it shows

just a lack of military experience and actual strategic intent to kill. Like when you look at how military and intelligence operators are trained to think,

we are trained to think through a lens of maximum damage.

Iran is thinking through the same window right now.

And they're watching what we just did in Afghanistan.

Don't forget we killed Osama bin Laden,

who was an ideological figurehead of Al Qaeda in 2011

and didn't leave Afghanistan until 2022 when we were, when we gave up.

That's another 11 years of war after the guy that we were supposed to kill to end the war.

How is, Khomeini is different.

Khamini is different. But how different? I don't know yet. And what are we going to do? The new leadership in Iran, what's it going to be? Is it going to be a leadership that kowtows to the United States, that kowtows to Israel? Is it going to be another shadow government like the Shah? And we're going to place somebody else and the Iranian people are going to love it? Or are we leaving a vacuum that China and Russia are going to step into? And now we're going to see a strengthened Iran that's strengthened by our largest adversaries in the world. This is the reality of what we've got to figure out because whether they launch all their rockets in the next two weeks, that doesn't mean that's the end of the fight.
