In terms of sheer firepower, the greatest military machine in human history has totally overwhelmed Iran and is decimating the country. But the Iranians are finding ways to fight back, as American officials acknowledge, and those who envisioned a cakewalk are finding a rockier road. EXILED IRANIAN WARNS REGIME WAS 'AGGRESSIVELY PATIENT THREAT WAITING TO POUNCE' ON AMERICA The Trump administration’s disclosure that 140 U.S. service members were wounded in the initial attack that killed Ayatollah Ali Khameini and other top leaders highlights the ability of even an overwhelmed enemy to inflict pain.  As President Donald Trump sends decidedly mixed messages about the duration of the war, the question hovers in the air: What amounts to winning? There are some, including Republicans, who want Trump to declare victory and get out. He can boast that he disrupted the terror ...

CNN host Abby Phillip issued an on-air correction Wednesday night for her comment about the ISIS-inspired terror attack in New York City last weekend after offering a mea culpa on social media earlier in the day.

The war hits home: Why financial pain and economic uncertainty threaten Trump’s drive to topple Iran’s regime

As the Pentagon keeps releasing video of bombs destroying parts of Iran , the smoke can't obscure an increasingly urgent question here at home: How high a price are Americans willing to pay for this war? I don't mean in terms of casualties, as the seven Americans killed so far is a relatively low figure, although each fallen soldier is a tragedy. Each should be honored for their sacrifice, as the first half dozen were in a Delaware ceremony attended by President Donald Trump and other dignitaries.  It's that the financial turmoil is really taking a toll on the homeland, not to mention around the world. Markets are tanking. Oil prices are soaring. Jobs are declining. And this has fueled doubts about Trump's decision to wage relentless attacks against Iran – and offering a series of shifting explanations as to why the war is necessary, and why it needed to be launched now.  WHY TRUMP INVOKED REGIME CHANGE IN ATTACKING IRAN, AND THE MEDIA MUST LEARN FROM PAST MISTAKES...
