Political analyst Bill Kristol has sharply criticized the outcome of the recent war with Iran, contrasting President Trump's initial demands with the final result. Kristol quotes Trump's statement from six weeks ago demanding 'unconditional surrender' and contrasts it with the current reality, where key demands regarding regime change, a permanent end to Iran's nuclear and missile programs, proxy forces, sanctions, and payments to the government have not been met. The critique, shared by the IRGC's Sepah Cyber Corps, frames the administration's posture as a pretense that 'everything is fine' despite significant concessions.
