Iran’s regime is already shifting tactics, and an unfinished war gives Tehran exactly what it needs: time

President Donald Trump made a difficult but ultimately correct decision in striking the Islamic Republic. For years, the regime’s nuclear advances, missile expansion and regional terrorism were allowed to grow while the world hesitated. At home, it carried out one of the most brutal crackdowns on street protesters in modern Iranian history. None of this was theoretical. The regime was becoming more dangerous by the year.

The strikes changed that trajectory. Iran suffered serious military losses. Its nuclear infrastructure was heavily damaged. Its missile capacity was sharply reduced. Senior figures were eliminated. For the first time in years, the regime was forced onto the defensive.

That alone is not victory.
