The Iran Playbook
On 15 January 2026, I was on “Judging Freedom” talking with the Judge about a variety of topics, but most importantly on the evolving situation in Iran. I laid out my thinking on 1) what the US and Israel were trying to do in Iran — upend the regime and wreck the country; 2) how we planned to do it — with the usual playbook; 3) why the strategy failed; 4) why the US has not bombed Iran when it appeared a few days ago that an attack was imminent; 5) whether Israel planned to attack Iran with the US or the US planned to attack alone; and 6) what the strategic consequences are of what is happening in Iran. On this last point, there is growing evidence that the Gulf states, including Saudi Arabia, are more and more coming to view the US-Israeli tag team — not Iran — as the greatest threat to stability in the Middle East. If true, wrecking Iran and turning it into another Syria would just further embolden Israel and the US to pursue reckless policies in the region, which would not be good for the Gulf states.
thank you Judge Napolitano and Dr. Mearsheimer.
Yes, thank you for never relinquishing never letting go of our United States complicity in the crime of crimes the Israeli/US genocide against the poor Palestinians.
It would've been much less expensive and with God on our side than mechanized warfare, mechanized mass murder yes it would've been much cheaper much less expensive and much more noble to feed Palestine and help them and build a beautiful society.
