The Iran War UPDATE: Collapse, Chaos, and What Comes Next | Victor Davis Hanson

from The Daily Signal · host The Daily Signal

Eight weeks into the Iran war, the regime is seriously fractured. Power is divided, internal factions are competing, and the pressure from economic and military constraints is beginning to take its toll. With sanctions, blockades, and internal instability mounting, the question is no longer if Iran is weakening, but how long it can hold together before an inevitable collapse. As the situation develops, decisions made now could determine whether this conflict ends decisively or drags on, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words:” 👉 The Daily Signal cannot continue to tell stories, like this one, without the support of our viewers: http://dailysignal.com/donate 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest short videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.
