Iran: Far-Sighted — or Fiasco?

I thought Trump was exceedingly bold to go after Iran. Iran has been causing trouble for decades.

But then I heard the Trumpsters were surprised that the Iranians were mining the Strait of Hormuz. If true, this reveals massive hubris and incompetence.

I’m sure the military anticipated this. They war-game everything. Let’s hope and pray a decision by Trump and Hegseth doesn’t result in excessive American deaths and another “forever war.”
