Trump does not have good options regarding Iran - former Israeli intelligence officer The likelihood that the United States and Israel will achieve a victory by force is slim, and Iran will not collapse or give up its nuclear programs because of the attacks, said Danny Citrinovich, former head of the Iran unit of Israeli intelligence. Some people are telling Trump that the U.S. needs another attack to force Iran to make a deal, but that will only make things worse diplomatically, especially if infrastructure is targeted, he added. Trump hopes that a quick war will either topple the Iranian government or simply come out and declare victory, but in reality it will only lead to retaliation from Iran, Citrinovitz concluded.
