The Gist
Hugh Hewitt argues that Trump needs to bomb Iran again, harder this time, because intelligence shows Iran has rebuilt most of its missile sites after the last attack. He believes Iran's crazy leaders can't be trusted with weapons and only total military destruction will work.
Conclusion
President Trump must launch another massive military strike to completely destroy Iran's missile capabilities and finish the war against Iran once and for all
Premises
- Intelligence assessments show Iran has restored operational access to 30 of 33 missile sites along the Strait of Hormuz after previous strikes
- Iran's immediate response to February 28 attacks was to lash out at Israel, U.S. bases, and a dozen other countries, showing the regime was not chastened
- Iran remains a rogue theocracy run by lunatic dictators with apocalyptic visions who seek to build nuclear weapons to destroy Israel and the U.S.
- The CIA has a history of poor intelligence assessments on Iran, but hope is not a strategy when dealing with this threat
- Regimes run by lunatics cannot be allowed to possess arsenals of missiles and mines that threaten global security
Assumptions
- Military force is the only effective way to deal with Iran's regime
- Iran's leadership is fundamentally irrational and cannot be deterred through diplomacy
- Complete destruction of Iran's military capabilities is both possible and necessary
- The previous strikes were insufficient because they did not fully eliminate Iran's capabilities
