Ret. Gen. Wesley Clark: I Don’t See Iran Doing the ‘Maximum Potential Response’ to the U.S. Strikes

EXCERPT:

CLARK: “Wolf, this is just speculation, but I don‘t see them doing the maximum potential response. I don‘t see them blocking the Straits of Hormuz. I don‘t see them going after all of the U.S. Forces. A few missiles may be lobbed at a couple of bases, maybe in Iraq, maybe militia strikes at some bases in Iraq, but I don‘t see a major response. This Iranian regime calculates, it‘s very careful to understand where it wants to go. It will have to make some kind of measure. But what we‘re not hearing yet is what they‘re doing domestically. You know, all we‘ve heard is, they‘ve been really scouring Iran to collect these Israeli spies. They‘ve arrested a few people, but you can be sure this is an authoritarian regime, it‘s cracking down and it‘s cracking down hard on the people in Iran. And the real issue here is whether the United States and Israel are going to be satisfied with essentially kicking the can down the road. You‘ve obliterated the major facilities, sure, maybe they‘ve got stuff out there. You‘ve delayed the nuclear program for six months, 18 months, who knows? And Iran‘s got a bloody nose. Is it enough?”
