Grim predicts Trump may declare victory and halt bombing despite the Revolutionary Guard remaining in power, comparing likely future Israeli strategy to 1990s Iraq sanctions-and-periodic-bombing cycles; the interview closes with joking sign-off banter.

In this bit5 moments
  • Tim outlines the most hopeful scenario: Trump declares victory after sparking a global financial crisis and simply stops bombing.
  • Trump's hypothetical victory speech lists achievements—obliterating ballistic missiles, nuclear weapons, killing the Ayatollah—while the Revolutionary Guard still controls the country.
  • Israel's strategy mirrors what the West did to Iraq in the 1990s: put sanctions in place, impoverish the country, then bomb it every six months in routine operations called 'mowing the lawn.'
  • The Iraq model involved a decade of relentless pummeling to weaken the country enough that 2003 became the moment to push it over, before occupation turned it into a catastrophe.
  • Israel might accept pausing operations, then bombing Iran again six months later, then six months after that, repeating the cycle indefinitely.
