President Trump has not only led a historic military victory against Iran, but he has asserted control over the Strait of Hormuz, thereby controlling Iran's ability to sell its oil and choke the Iranian economy in hopes of forcing the regime to make a deal or collapse.
Those are two very distinct objectives - to make a deal or collapse. 
So the question is, which is preferable?
So let's dig into this further. 
If the goal is to take down the regime, two of three most important conditions have already been achieved. 
The destruction of virtually its entire military capacity and economic control over their economy.
These are two historic successes on their own, on their own. 
If the goal is to get a deal, the issue is not only what kind of deal, but can the deal stick?
That is, how do we know if the enemy will adhere to the terms of a deal, especially after President Trump leaves office? 
Well, let's look at the Iranian regime's record. 
Rather than recounting the scores of examples, evidence, if you will, that the regime has violated every deal it has ever signed with any international organization, any country or any group of countries, there simply is no evidence that the regime has ever honored ANY deal.
Even the Obama nuclear disastrous deal, which ensured that Iran would have a nuclear weapon within 10 to 12 years of its signing, was violated by the Iranian regime, even though it would hand them nuclear weapons, effectively. 
Why would the Iranian regime violate a deal that ensures it would have nuclear weapons in a decade or so?
Because it felt no obligation to adhere to any deal and it wanted to develop nuclear weapons to break out as fast as it could.
So to be clear, even a deal in which the Iranian regime would, in fact, be able to secure nuclear weapons was violated by the Iranian regime repeatedly and in scores of ways. 
Monitoring, unannounced inspections, and the like, were all eventually defied by the Iranian regime.
So it's important to understand the ideological mindset of who and what we're dealing with. 
They're not of a Western mindset. 
The regime has learned from past experience with our country and with the current opposition in our country from the Democrats, the media, and the radical isolationists that all they need to do is wait us out.
We have an election in November, and they see that election as possible, if not likely, to change our government - at least one part of it.
That is, with the election of Democrats in the House, for example, they know that that Party stands for appeasement, radical pacifism, and isolationism. 
They've heard what they have to say. 
They have heard what their media have to say. 
And they also know that the Democrat Party will try to undermine President Trump, including his foreign policy and especially in Iran, where the Democrats actually funded the regime and its war-making power under the Biden administration.
Even more, they watch these debates over the War Powers Act, Articles of Impeachment against the Secretary of War, then declarations of impeachment against the president should the Democrats win the House - based in large part on what the Democrats falsely claim as constitutional and legal violations and they claim that this is a war of choice, that it is a blunder, and that it is an illegal war. 
So the Iranians say, "let's just hang in there. If the Democrats take the House, that's an American regime change.
