Today, I joined CNN News Central to talk about where we are on Iran.

The United States faces a conundrum.

The Iranian regime is not going to be cowed into a nuclear deal, particularly zero enrichment (which I find hard to believe they would do), without major, major concessions from us. Those concessions, even if some sound good (like US economic opportunities), mean significant sanctions relief, i.e., lots of money flowing into this economically and morally bankrupt and dangerous regime.

After killing so many Iranians, can we do that deal? And can we, should we do that deal when Iran’s missile force is an actual and growing threat that would worsen with sanctions relief?
Hard to imagine we would.

So we could walk/sail away, which makes us look weak.
Hard to imagine.

Or use our massive force to strike Iran.
That’s getting easier to imagine.
