You keep saying “if Congress will”…

They won’t. And certainly not before November.

Trump must confront the optics that US Elections are a foreign policy "weakness" and that he must be "soft" to win votes. The best choice would be to "bomb the shit out of them," causing them to focus on rebuilding bridges, power plants, and police stations rather than affecting trade in the Strait. Second best is economic sanctions. Both options get Iran in line immediately AND fix gas prices. Muse is right. Delay is stupid.

Don’t inflame the Democrat voters. Wait until after the mid-terms.

Dems are always inflamed about something

Democrats are inflamed when President Trump takes a breath, so why pander to them at all? Then they believe they have won.

You’re one of our best analytical journalists, Mr. Muse. Thank you for your diligent work.

The only thing Iran understands is Islam and they do not fear death. Trump should bomb Iran to glass. At least it would take 60-70 years to gather themselves together.

This "war" was lost when Iran responded against USA bases and host countries, and showed USA has no reliable missile or drone defense. Iran has been emboldened by Trump blundering into and inflaming a religious war between Muslims and Jews. There is no possible "victory" for USA now. Strategic withdrawal is in order.

Attacking Iran is not an America First recommendation.
