Some of the supposed character “flaws” of @realDonaldTrump are precisely those that are needed to be a courageous and bold global leader.” Gad Saad
You’ve got to think: if the US military can pinpoint one room in Teheran with a Grand Ayatollah and 39 other high officials in it, then the US military can figure out where Iran’s missiles are being launched from and put a stop to that, too. With no high command left, Iran’s missile batteries have been on their own since Saturday, desperately trying a kind of last-ditch “Samson option” to light up the whole region and bring the House of the Middle East down with Iran.
Kunstler’s reference to the Iranians having a “Sampson option” is a bit curious and I expect he has it backward even tho he knows it. “Sampson” has long been the Israeli code word for letting everything they have go all at once if they think they are about to get hit hard. In the case of the Persians I think maybe they’re having more of a “Yosemite Sam” moment twying weely hard to get that wabbit?

Don’t forget that their flavor of islam is apocalyptic, their final prophet is supposed to arrive in the flames of destruction.
That definitely leaves a potential wild card floating around, particularly in the possibility of chemical, biological or radiological packages fired just for spite at this point... Hopefully those types of assets were ashed in the opening strikes.
