U.S. intelligence is telling Trump what he doesn't want to hear
Two weeks of bombing. 15,000 targets destroyed.
Khamenei killed. Navy sunk.
And the classified assessment landing on Trump's desk says the regime will survive, possibly more radical and entrenched than before.
The IRGC is far from cracking. It's actually consolidating.
The diplomats inside Iran who favored negotiation have been discredited.
The hardliners are stronger.
The worst part? Trump was told this would happen before he gave the green light.
Gulf allies are furious. The regime still stands.
And the Strait is still closed. This war is becoming exactly what Iran wanted: a fight of endurance America can't afford to lose but can't seem to win.
