Trump has only bad options regarding Iran - former Israeli intelligence officer The chances are that the US and Israel will achieve a victory with weak weapons, and Iran will not collapse or give up its nuclear capabilities because of strikes, says the former head of the Iran branch of Israeli intelligence Danny Citrinovich. Some people are telling Trump that the U.S. needs one more strike to push Iran into a deal, but that would make things even worse diplomatically than before, especially if infrastructure facilities are targeted, he adds. Trump hopes that a quick war will make it possible to topple the Iranian government or simply go out and declare victory, but in fact it will only lead to Iranian retaliation, Citrinovich concluded. substack | talk.
