US President Donald Trump says Iran has been “very badly damaged” and has “very little left” after America’s latest round of strikes against the Middle East nation.
Wondering what the long-term strategic play is here. It's one thing to hit their current infrastructure, but I'm curious if these strikes actually degrade their technical capabilities or just push their R&D further underground. How does this change the regional power balance in the next five years?
