Marc Thiessen: The Current Ceasefire Must Be Viewed Only as a Temporary Pause for Rearmament Rather Than a Final Resolution | 05-02-26

Larry Kudlow and Marc Thiessen discuss a strategic path toward a decisive military victory over Iran, arguing that the current ceasefire must be viewed only as a temporary pause for rearmament rather than a final resolution. They emphasize that while economic blockades are effective, the conflict likely requires a fourteen-day military escalation to dismantle Iran’s nuclear and ballistic infrastructure and potentially eliminate hardline leadership. Thiessen advocates for a “Trump Doctrine” of disarmament paired with a “Reagan Doctrine” of regime change, suggesting that the U.S. should use covert operations to support internal opposition and ensure a total capitulation similar to an unconditional surrender.
