US lawmakers see no Trump plan for Iran following strikes

March 1 (Reuters) - The United States has yet to spell out a "day-after" strategy for Iran following joint U.S.-Israeli strikes that killed much of the country's leadership, lawmakers from both major political parties said on Sunday.

U.S. President Donald Trump has called for a change in Iran's government, which has entered a period of uncertainty following the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Saturday's attack.

The strategy Trump has publicly outlined so far hinges largely on the hope that the Iranian people will rise up and determine their own future after decades of repression.

Republicans expressed optimism about the attacks, while Democrats were skeptical they would lead to a favorable outcome, but lawmakers on both sides were uncertain about the immediate future. Trump told the Daily Mail later on Sunday that the military operation could continue for four weeks.

It's trump's all-purpose strategy: "we'll see what happens."

Die Quickly

Of course they don't even have concepts of a plan. They didn't plan for having enough ammo or who would take over after they kill the leaders. They plan is to distract from Epstein files. And that's not even going to work because people will still ask about it.
