Trump’s Iran strike was clear and bold. The aftermath could be far messier.

President Donald Trump finally got his “spectacular” military parade — in the skies over Iran early Sunday — and it was executed skillfully and with decisive (if perhaps deceptive) presidential leadership. The question now obviously is whether it will bring more than a new chorus of “Death to America.”

Trump and his top advisers acted boldly to hit the prize targets in Iran’s nuclear program — at Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz — that remained after nine days of Israeli bombing. The operation was bigger and more comprehensive than even some Israelis had expected, and it showed that the U.S. military, even during the chaotic Trump presidency, still performs with unmatched power, precision and reach.
