Trump's thoughtless invasion of Iran was meant to project American military power—instead, it has retrenched it, with American forces retreating from dozens of bases around the world and giving our adversaries a roadmap of how to resist US power.

From Iran to the U.K., Trump Is Being Forced Into Retreat

If the (illegitimate) president of the US can suggest Iran wipes out two of our largest cities as a small price to pay, we can suggest Iran takes him out as a small price to pay. Fair is fair.
