Victor Davis Hanson: Iran Isn’t Winning—They’re Just Surviving (And Trump Knows It)
Podcast: The Daily SignalPublished On: Thu Apr 23 2026
Description: We’re 60 days into the conflict, and President Donald Trump has left the Iranian regime with three options: The non-hard-liners could agree to the United States’ terms and surrender. The regime could continue to try and win token victories—send out small PT boats and drones to attack freighters in the Strait of Hormuz. Delay negotiations in the hopes that a more friendly Democratic administration comes to power in 2028, offering the theocrats more favorable terms, predicts Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” 👉 The Daily Signal cannot continue to tell stories, like this one, without the support of our viewers: http://dailysignal.com/donate 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest short videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.
