Air Strikes on Iran Make No Sense
The Long MemoIf I’m Iran, and Israel has been pounding my infrastructure, I’m moving everything critical underground—or out entirely. The second Bibi launched his first missile, Tehran likely flipped every countermeasure switch it had. That’s what smart actors do. And contrary to Beltway arrogance, Iran isn’t dumb. The White House gutted the NSC, sidelined professional analysts, and replaced functional decision-making with sycophantic loyalty tests. Until we get BDA (battle damage assessment), this was just another expensive fireworks show with no proof of effectiveness. Image created by DreamStudio
