Victor Davis Hanson: Obama Dreamed of an Iranian Axis to Counter Israel, Then Trump Destroyed It

Since striking Iran’s nuclear sites and military personnel last June, America and Israel have brought the Islamic regime to its knees. A web of paranoia, triggered by Israel's systematic dismantling of Iran’s terrorist surrogates and in-country air defense systems, has caused the regime to lash out against an already wary population.

The Obama-Biden administration tried for years to position Iran, and its surrogates, as a “counterweight” to Israel and the more moderate Arab countries in the region, favoring neither one side nor the other.

President Donald Trump’s strike on Iran and subsequent sanctions have tipped the scales in favor of Israel and the more moderate Middle East regimes. “ We don't have to be the instigators. We don't have to stage coups. All we have to do is turn up the heat and let this pot boil over. And boil over it will,” argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
