Iran Called Trump Begging for a Deal, But He Should Ignore Them and Finish the Job

Trump said they have “very little left.” If that’s true — and American military commanders should be the ones answering that question, not Iranian foreign ministers — then the answer is not a deal. The answer is finishing the job that decades of half-measures left undone.

Iran is begging because it is losing. The correct response to a losing enemy is not negotiation. It is unconditional pressure until the threat is eliminated completely.

Don’t give them the deal. Don’t give them the phone call back. Give them the consequences they’ve earned.
