While Mr. Trump was speaking about America’s achievements in the war, including degrading Iran’s missile capability, missile alerts were issued in the UAE. After Mr. Trump concluded his speech, Iran launched another salvo of missiles at Israel. In the speech Mr. Trump praised the Venezuela attack earlier this year. In fact, the U.S. Navy has stayed away from the Persian Gulf, where Iran still takes shots. What Mr. Trump can do is continue bombing Iran, which is what he threatened to do in his speech.
