I have a solution to President Trump’s Iran war problem. It’s pretty simple. Hear me out.

Let me use a sportsball analogy. As Las Vegas Raiders owner Al Davis famously commanded, “Just win, baby.”

We’re doing the on-again/off-again thing again, and it’s getting old. Of course, we have largely achieved our core military objectives. Iran’s ability to generate combat power has been substantially degraded. Their air defenses have been shredded. Their nuclear program has been set back a decade or more. They cannot shut the Strait of Hormuz — they can only make threats and launch the occasional drone or missile. These are impressive results, achieved with relatively low American losses. And for those of you now screaming that we did in fact suffer casualties, stop acting like children. There are 50-square-yard chunks of Omaha Beach where we took multiples of the total U.S. casualties suffered in this entire campaign.

So, to claim we’ve “lost” the war raises that classic “Is he stupid or does he think we’re stupid?” question that we face so often in the current discourse. But while we’ve hit many of our operational goals, we haven’t achieved the main strategic one: removing the regime. That’s winning. And it’s undeniable.

So, let’s win this. Let’s finish it.

Look at the benefits of winning the war. The primary benefit is winning it. Finally taking out the mullahs and their ridiculous 7th-century regime solves a problem that has plagued the region for nearly half a century. Imagine the Middle East without these Persian pissants stirring the pot. Wouldn’t you like to turn on the news and not hear new outrages or atrocities from that part of the world? I’ve never been able to do that during my entire life. I want to start. And the starting point is making Iran’s current rulers ex-mullahs.

Winning the fight also solves the political problem. Let’s be very clear: President Donald Trump is a hero for finally fighting back against Iran. He didn’t have to. He could have kicked the can down the road. He could have spent 2026 basking in economic........
