Defeating the Mullahs

The War with Iran is now a significant problem for both the Trump administration, the United States, and pretty much everybody.
 
I receive hundreds of messages each day from all over the world. A recurring question is: “How would I, your humble correspondent, defeat the Mullahs?”
 
So, here’s what I would do:
 
Number 1: Take out Pickaxe Mountain immediately. That’s the underground complex housing Iran’s supply of Uranium. No guarantee that destroying the facility would achieve anything, but it sends a message.
 
Number 2: I’d single out targets in the capital city of Tehran. You have to give a warning to the people who live there, but we should take out their infrastructure: that’s water, electricity, all gone.
 
Finally, the US has to take over this operation—no more influence from our Allies in the region. Let them have their opinions in private, but America must run this enterprise as we did during World War II.
 
If President Trump did these three things, he would be condemned all over the world, including the Democratic Party here in the US, but he has no alternative.
 
The Iranian strategy is to “run out the clock” – pardon the cliché. They know the American public will eventually tire of high gas prices and global instability.
 
President Trump must do something now. Time’s up for Tehran.
