1. Iran went against the two largest Air Force’s in the world

2. Iran went against the largest military as the most sanctioned country on earth for decades

3. Weeks prior Mossad and Trump admitted to giving violent rioters weapons to break the social order and directed them to attack police stations.

4. Iran was able to lock onto and target F-35 Lightnings a feat that no other country on earth did

5. Iran was 1 versing a ton of countries. France had an aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean helping out, Cyprus and the UK were helping out, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain all allowed their countries to be used to launch attacks and opened up their air space.

6. Iran was caught by a sucker punch and surprise attack in the middle of negotiations

And yet they’ve held it together and anyone outside the U.S. or Israel is writing that Iran has emerged as a greater power and is better off today having defended and prevented Trump from achieving any of his five strategic objectives.

This is a modern day David versus Goliath story

The ultimate black pill

Curious how you’d approach the current failed war.

I think I would

1. Not fall victim to sunk cost fallacy and pull out
2. Use sanctions relief as primary lever for negotiations. And negotiations would be direct. Not through intermediary and certainly not through Kushner or Wytkoff.
3. Longer-term Iran is an ancient civilization with robust industry and smart people. They also sit in a geographically important area. I would seek strengthening ties and see a win win.
4. Aid to Israel would be withheld if they interfered with negotiations or American strategy. If they don’t respect that they’d get sanctioned.
