They [the Iranians] have more offensive missiles than we have defensive missiles. And so it only makes sense, from their point of view... We have bases in Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, Saudi and Oman, and the Iranians have hit every single one of them. In the first day, they attacked every single one of those countries, including economic targets..., all up and down the [Persian] Gulf. So far they're not hitting oil, but they're hitting 5-star hotels. They're causing all kinds of damage. They closed the Straight of Hormuz. So it's not quite worst case scenario, but it's pretty bad already. And it only makes sense that they would decide for strategy to make this hurt the United States enough that it hurts Donald Trump enough that he doesn't do this anymore... It's an asymmetric fight, so Iran just has to hang in there long enough for Trump to be humiliated enough that he really has to stop and that, I guess from their point of view, feels so stung that he doesn't want to try it again for the next 2 1/2 years.
