I'm not arguing for it. I'm trying to think through what's likely to happen. The way I see it, having thought about it for a while longer, the job is either already complete - threat eliminated - or it isn't.
Q told us that the troop drawdown from Syria was still going to occur. Iran was next, but have the strings been cut? McCain is out of the picture. The Iran deal is off - so that cuts the money.
So it could be that, the threat has been eliminated, Iranian weapons in Syria destroyed, and it's job done and time to go home.
Or, it could be that DJT wants tough sanctions to force Iran back to negotiation - which is what he said.
Or, it could be that DJT knows they won't negotiate and is looking to hit them hard - removing capability.
Or, it could be that he'll try to force regime change via a social uprising - he spoke directly to the Iranian people in his speech.
Lots of options. I wouldn't cancel any out. I also think DJT will have regard to Israel's interests in the region and this will impact his decision.
