"If Iran is torn apart, al-Qaeda will look small by comparison."
That's not rhetoric. It's a strategic warning.
The argument in this clip is precise: the fragmentation of Iran wouldn't end a government — it would unleash a wave of resentment with no borders. The 1979 revolution sent out one such wave, and Iranians and the world are still living with its aftershocks four decades later. The next wave, the argument goes, would be a tsunami.
And Washington knows it. Despite the depth of hostility toward the Islamic Republic, you still won't find 28 members of Congress lining up behind any project to break Iran apart. Not even Rep. Brian Mast — who lost both legs in Iraq and now chairs a top armed services role — has backed that idea.
The people who paid the real price of war tend to be the most cautious voices in the room.
