Let’s focus not on what Trump says, but on what he does.
These are the U.S. military units recently deployed to the Middle East against Iran.
But for what mission?
These are the U.S. military units recently deployed to the Middle East against Iran.
— 160th SOAR (Night Stalkers): Elite helicopter unit that secretly inserts and extracts special forces, often at night, using highly skilled pilots and modified aircraft.
— 75th Ranger Regiment: Light infantry force for rapid raids, airfield seizures, and direct combat missions against high-value targets.
— Delta Force (1st SFOD-D): Top-tier counterterrorism and hostage rescue unit, focused on high-risk, precision missions and targeting high-value individuals.
— 1st Special Forces Group (1st SFG): Works mainly in Asia-Pacific; trains allied forces, conducts unconventional warfare, and supports insurgencies or partner militaries.
— 5th Special Forces Group (5th SFG): Focused on the Middle East; specializes in counterterrorism, unconventional warfare, and advising local forces.
— U.S. Navy SEALs: Maritime-focused special operations—raids, reconnaissance, direct action, and covert missions from sea, air, or land.
But for what mission?
— Islands inside or near the Strait of Hormuz — small but strategically vital islands Iran uses to control shipping lanes. U.S. special forces could seize them quickly to reopen the strait.
— Kharg Island — Iran’s main oil-export terminal. Capturing or destroying it would cripple Iran’s oil revenue.
— Iranian nuclear facilities or other high-value sites — possible raids to destroy enriched uranium stockpiles or related infrastructure.

This war is a politically disastrous mistake. A truly avoidable, unnecessary war, if its goal was to stop Iran on its way to the atomic bomb.

Q: Do you regret using the word ‘apartheid’ to describe Israel?
Gavin Newsom: I used it in this context — and I reference why I used it — a Tom Friedman article in that same sentence where Tom used it in the context of the direction that Bibi is going.

And that is a legitimate concern I have, that I share — that direction, if that vision of the far right that Netanyahu is indulging leads to full annexation of the West Bank, then that’s a word you may hear others use.
