Victor Davis Hanson: Iran and Trump’s Next Strategy for Endgame
This is Victor Davis Hanson for the Daily Signal. We’re approaching five months of our on and off war with Iran, but it’s not really quite five months of war. It’s more like forty days of kinetic action, the first forty days, and then the subsequent hundred and ten days are often on negotiations with the Iranian regime, once in a while punctuated with exchanges of missiles and bombs, etc.
