## Resource

The predicament in Iran gets more complicated as President Trump weighs his options... It's hard to decipher what is actually happening with Iran and who is in charge. The Iranian regime has split into 4 factions: The remaining IRGC, the theocratic leaders, the Iranian army and remaining elected officials. The U.S. blockade remains effective, draining Iran of nearly $500 million in revenue per day, but there have been more and more instances of Iran firing on cargo ships. Today, renowned classics and military expert Victor Davis Hanson weighs all of President Trump's options to finish the job in Iran. Iran's kharg island could be made entirely inoperable with sheer western warfare power and treating Iranian PT attack boats destroyed in similar fashion to narco-terrorist in the Caribbean. President Trump can declare victory and leave remaining Iranian leadership targets to the Israeli Defense Forces.
