"The US and Israel launched massive strikes targeting Iran's military, nuclear capability, and leadership, including the Supreme Leader. Trump and Netanyahu are openly calling it regime change and urging the Iranian people to rise up. We knew it was coming. The question was never really if, but when, and how big. What we don't know is the endgame. Most wars start with a clear objective and end with a question mark. This one started with a question mark. Iran has begun retaliating across the region. A regime fighting for survival has nothing left to lose. which changes the calculus entirely. The Strait of Hormuz, terrorism, it's all now on the table. As one retired general said: starting a war is like opening a door into a dark room. You don't know what's waiting inside. More tomorrow. "
