Time is running out for Iran's corrupt mullahs [article from June]
Washington Times ^ | June 20, 2019 | L. Todd Wood

It’s just a matter of time.

The mullahs are finished. There will be regime change in Iran. Iran’s corrupt regime knows it cannot survive the economic blockade put in place by the Trump White House.

So what’s a corrupt ayatollah to do when faced with extinction by a greater power? Start a war, of course — which is exactly what Tehran is trying to do.

So will we have war?

Mr. Trump is well aware of Iran’s tactics and its eagerness for conflict. He will be unpredictable. He will be effective. He will not give Iran the ground war it wants. He will possibly give them the war they can’t imagine.

I believe there could be strikes against Iran’s nuclear assets. A target of opportunity has presented itself via Iran’s belligerence — a chance to solve the regime’s nuclear threat once and for all. However, there will not be a U.S. invasion of Iran. There will not be thousands of American deaths. There will not be another $1 trillion spent by U.S. taxpayers to fix the Middle East.

Mr. Trump is smarter than that, and much too smart for the regime that is trying to goad him.

He will cut off the head of the snake.

As the deep state snake lashes at his ankles.

It is that tragic shame that the Shah and his son were not able to effectively confront the issues (SAVAK abuses towards citizens, etc) that were facing Iran that led to civil unrest and revolution in 1978-79.
