Israeli spokespeople say it isn&#8217;t. The Israelis want to keep punching. To be honest, I tend to hope that Trump is correct, that the end of this foolishness might be at hand. Will he call a halt, winning by a TKO over a military force that admittedly is formidable, but which is no match for the massive arsenal being launched daily against targets in Iran?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>I hope the POTUS is right on this one.
