Iran may be weakened, but the regime is using every pause to rebuild its weapons, proxies and alliances, and time could become its most potent weapon.

Trump undoubtedly remains committed to removing from the world stage the danger posed by Iranian aggression—with its proxies, missiles and uranium.
