Trump's war on Iran

The bombs started to drop early this monring and look set to be falling on Tehran and other cities where there are military and regime targets for the next week or so. This is a war which Trump chose. He diodn't seek Congressional approval, althpugh Marco Riubio, the secretary of state, did paint a pretty obvious picture of imminent war when he addressed the eight senior members of the Senate and House of Reprresentative intelligence and armed services committees a few days ago. Whether an air campaign will help Trump to meet his objectives which include regime-change is another matter. The Iranians have responded by launching ballistic missiles at Israel, Dubai, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. It looks as if the US and Israel together have tried to target the suspected hideaway of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the so-called Supreme Leader who has total authority over everything the Iranian military does. But there have been no reports of his demise. The more Iran's air defences are battered, the mnore unequal the war will become, and the US and Israel will be able to help themselves to whichever targets they choose. Provided Iran fails with its ballistic-missile launches - most of which have been intercepted so far - this war will be a one-way destruction path. Trump no doubt will soon be claiming victory.
