It's All About Hormuz

In less than three weeks, the United States and Israel have destroyed many of the military assets Iran has used to menace the Middle East for decades. The Pentagon reported 15,000 strikes in the first 10 days, which not only blew up launchers, missiles and ships; they also leveled some of the production sites that once replenished Iran's arsenal.

At least another two weeks of attacks will be necessary to ensure the regime cannot pose a serious military threat for several years — if it survives at all. Forcing the threat from Tehran into remission certainly would constitute a military victory, arguably the United States' first in Iran since 1979.
