“We haven’t even started hitting them hard. The big wave hasn’t even happened. The big one is coming soon,” Mr. Trump said, telling CNN it was unclear who was now leading Iran.
“We don’t know who the leadership is. We don’t know who they’ll pick,” he said.
What’s your actual fucking goal? I don’t get what they intend to hit here. They’re making it actually impossible for Iran to do the thing they want.
The thing they want is an external distraction so people will quit paying attention to domestic issues. Bonus points if Iran actually manages to become enough of a problem to “justify” emergency powers for the president. They don’t actually give two fucks what the final outcome for Iran is.

Ultimately bullies just want to bully. They don’t want anything from their target except to reflect back to them an image of their desired power.
Look at Gaza. They want Tehran to look like that.
The goal is to keep war going until at least November, so it can be used to cancel or ignore midterms. Having no defined goals is essential to that.
The thing they want is an external distraction so people will quit paying attention to domestic issues. Bonus points if Iran actually manages to become enough of a problem to “justify” emergency powers for the president. They don’t actually give two fucks what the final outcome for Iran is.
The only thing they want is for Iran to be a distraction from the Trump-Epstein files and from the midterms in the fall.
