The future of the West and President Donald Trump’s reputation depend on the outcome of the ongoing battle with the Islamic Republic of Iran. America is decisively winning that battle, but it has not yet won it.
Iran’s National Security Threat
Iran is run by religious fanatics who pose a significant threat to the region and the world. The Islamic Republic of Iran and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) cannot be deterred in the way other evil tyrannies can be deterred.
The defining belief of Twelver Shi’ism is that the Twelfth Imam, Muhammad al-Mahdi, did not die, entered occultation, remains alive by God’s will, and will return at the end of time as the Mahdi to establish justice and peace. A group within ‘Twelver’ believers assert that turmoil may help usher in the Mahdi’s return.
President Trump’s Resolve
President Trump is willing to deal with the implications of a theocracy bound up in medieval theology and run by fanatics in possession of weapons of mass destruction. He has acted on it and must finish the job.
