Hochstein on Iran War: ‘I Think There Is an Ability to Declare Victory Here,’ The Israelis Will Do Whatever Trump Says

HOCHSTEIN: “Look, I think right now, over the next few days, you're going to see intensifying strikes against Iran by both Israel and the United States. Although, at the beginning of the war, the first several days, the U.S. was the lead as far as the number of strikes, today, that has flipped, and Israel is doing a far greater percentage of the strikes than the United States. Where do I think it goes? Look, Iran has been disrupted. Their missile manufacturing is disrupted. Their economy is degraded. Their nuclear weapons are further degraded from six months ago. I think there's an ability to declare victory here, and for the president, in a few days, to say, look, I achieved all these things. They don't have an air force anymore. They don't have a navy. We disrupted them. And because we have air superiority, we'll stay in the region, and if they go back to bad behavior, I'll attack them again and end that war. I know that Mohamed El-Erian and your previous guests had said that you still have two other parties. The Israelis will do whatever Donald Trump says. If he says we're stopping the war, they will stop the war. And I think the Iranians will as well.”
