Got it Wrong
US and Israel Attack Iran
Donald Trump has targeted Iran's Supreme Leader in its first wave of joint attacks with Israel, as Tehran launched an attack on the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain and bases across the region.
My previous article said that there was a likelihood that the US would cut a deal with Iran on uranium enrichment.
The negotiations just bought time for the US to move everything in place to carry out military operations.
According to early news reports, the US has targeted the Mullahs, the IRGC, Iran’s missile manufacturing and more.
The head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard and ‘architect’ of the regime’s brutal crackdown against protesters has reportedly been killed during the joint US-Israeli missile attacks on Saturday.
IRGC commander General Mohammad Pakpour is said to have been ‘eliminated’ in strikes targeting the capital, Tehran, according to Israeli assessments.
Iran is firing missiles at US regional bases and at Israel.
So far details are sparse (as of 0700 EST).
If only other columnists had the humility to admit they got it wrong. Thank you, Stephen.
You weren't wrong. There was such a deal available, but the Israelis rejected it and they obviously control the Trump Administration.
