Iran's Trump card is better than a nuclear weapon [View all]

There is no question that President Trump is 100 percent responsible for a stunning victory in the Iran war. His actions will completely reconfigure the Persian Gulf for a generation.

Unfortunately, there is also no question as to who won. Hint: It wasn’t the United States.

On the plus side, Iran will probably agree to give up its nuclear ambitions, because Trump has given it something better: a stranglehold on the Persian Gulf and the world economy.

If there is one military lesson from the Iran war, it’s that having a handful of nuclear weapons is useless. Modern air defenses are just too good. More than 90 percent of Iran’s drone and missile attacks were intercepted.
