The Spin

The attacks against Israeli civilians on Sunday reveal the true face of the Iranian regime. Iran, however, will soon pay for its transgressions, as the IDF has successfully established air superiority over the country and crippled Iran's ability to strike back. Israel will now press on with its campaign to dismantle Iran's nuclear program to guarantee the safety of Israel and the wider region.

The latest strikes against hostile targets in Israel reveal that the Zionist regime's much-lauded missile defense systems are not all they are made out to be. By applying new tactics, the IRGC was able to trick IDF air defense into neutralizing itself, allowing Iran to strike at valuable targets. This campaign will continue until every one of Israel's goals is scuppered.

Under this administration, Israel and Iran will soon come to terms. Trump has a wealth of experience in handling complex diplomatic situations and has successfully de-escalated disputes that were otherwise on the verge of conflict. By leveraging America's substantial economic and military power, the president will prevent the tit-for-tat missile strikes from escalating into full-blown war.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 5% chance that Iran will possess a nuclear weapon before 2026, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
