Prime Minister Mark Carney argues the war against Iran was justified because it halted Tehran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons. The evidence, Ted Snider writes, suggests otherwise. Iran was not building a bomb, diplomacy had already achieved major concessions, and the war inflicted immense human, economic, and environmental costs.
Obama’s Stuxnet cyberattack destroyed 1000 uranium enrichment centrifuges in Iran at a cost of $1-2 billion (exact cost still classified).
Trump’s military action destroyed about 20x that number, but at 150x to 300x the cost. Such beautiful deals. Unbelievable deals. But Stuxnet didn’t have the added benefit of distracting the public from the Epstein files, so there’s that.
