    Holy shit. I shouldn’t be surprised but he brought out the old “Iran is nearly there” chestnut.

    This year, Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned that Iran was within a week or two of being able to produce enough weapons-grade uranium for a nuclear bomb.

    Emphasis mine.

    As for Israel, it has demonstrated again that its investment in missile-defense technologies that critics said would never work has paid off, chiefly in hundreds or thousands of lives saved. The same type of counterconventional wisdom will serve it well as it completes Hezbollah’s decapitation in Lebanon and Hamas’s evisceration in Gaza. Wars, once entered, need to be fought through to an unequivocal victory.

    I’m stealing “counterconventional”. At least the comments aren’t what I expected. They’re shitting on him hard.
