The constant narrative from media outlets and Democratic voices downplays the potential danger posed by Iran, repeatedly dismissing the possibility of an imminent threat while strategically omitting the critical word “yet” – a subtle linguistic hint that suggests the potential for future escalation. Indeed, they refuse to use the implications when speaking of Iran and nuclear bombs. They say they don’t have it, while strategically leaving out the word “yet.”

My understanding from this is that they have the preferences of waiting until they have the bomb and the missiles to deliver them. They want to wait until they are an imminent threat, when it is too late. What kind of a plan is that? What kind of a strategy is that?

Carter set this stage for this prolonged war of skirmishes and bombings and nerves. It would appear that Trump has decided to put a stop to it. More importantly, a message has been sent worldwide. Unfortunately, that message will only last as long as the American resolve to maintain it.
