“For decades prior to the war, Iran posed one of the greatest threats to U.S. national security. ”
I am not an Iran shill, but is this true? Is Iran the biggest threat to our national security?
“The large-scale military campaign provided an opportunity, as Trump promised, for the Iranian people to rise up, and they (perhaps understandably after the regime’s previous massacres) decided not to take it.”
This is just stupid. Why would us bombing Iran suddenly make Iranians rise up?
“The war also gave the U.S. military the opportunity to practice.”
Killing untold thousands is just practice for us. The writer of this article does not see Iranians as living breathing people, but just as meat bags that killing is morally neutral. This is depressing.

Trump also followed through on his promise to the Iranian people that “help is on the way.” In response to Tehran’s large-scale killing of its own people in December and January, the United States and Israel launched a massive bombing campaign that resulted in the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as well as much of the Iranian leadership who oversaw the massacre. Any future Iranian leader will need to think twice before choosing the same course of action—and potential fate.
…… Aren’t they starting to arrest and execute people now.
Plus what help is on the way. Did this dude leave out Trump has threatened the country with genocide multiple times.

“We won by losing” is certainly a new argument.

It’s actually crazy how you can be so comically delusional so consistently and still be respected in certain circles. Like seriously, how does the cancer of neoconservatism live on in our FP community? This shit is so dumb you’d think it were satire, how many more times does reality need to prove these clowns wrong before they lose all credibility?

Back in the 2000s, conservatives at least had some sort of intellectual foundation.
I don’t know what the fuck this is.

Btw Foreign Policy is the bastard neocon version of Foreign Affairs (which has real academic writers)

This reads like what I imagine a high school sophomore foreign extemp debate kid with ChatGPT would spit out so they had an essay to hand in.

So since they say that Iran suffered an estimated $270 Billion in damages doesn’t the MOU giving them access to $300 Billion in funds mean they’re ahead $30 Billion from the war
