HI All,

I thought it was time for an analysis of the Israeli-US air campaign against Iran, which is now in a ceasefire stage, and which represents one of the weirdest air campaigns ever fought.

In particular, what would have happened had Donald Trump not intervened and made the campaign about him and, in the process, possibly done the Iranian regime a real favor.
