RUSH EXCERPT:BAKER: "Well, I think you’re right to ask what that might look like. And to mark’s point, I mean, I think that they have to confront the notion that further airstrikes by themselves may not shift the the overall equation. Right? Obviously, Iran doesn’t want to be bombed. Again. Obviously, the the bombing did devastating damage and a lot of ways, but it didn’t fundamentally change the Iranian regime, right. It simply it got rid of one ayatollah in favor of his son, the IRGC, the revolutionary guard corps still in charge. They you know, the airstrikes got rid of some ballistic missiles. But intelligence reports that have been aired in the media have suggested that still, the vast majority of ballistic missiles are, you know, still available to Iran. So, in other words, you know, regime change and changing strategy on the part of an enemy from the air has its limits. History suggests. So, you know, simply returning to the same kind of bombardment we had before, devastating as it might be, may not change the Iranian calculation. The Iranians are looking at our politics. They’re looking at what’s happening here at home, and they see a president heading into Memorial Day weekend with gas prices that are too high for summer travelers. With Republicans on the hill now balking not only at his ballroom and his fund for his allies, but even potentially over the war, they had to postpone these votes on, you know, whether to to stop the war because they’re worried they don’t have the votes. And the president is now alienated enough Republicans in the Senate that he’s made his position even harder. Iran sees that. They know that they may be calculating. They can wait him out."
