CNN analyst suggests Trump could go down as 'hero' after Iran strike

CNN's John Miller suggested in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece that President Donald Trump could go down as a "hero" for his strikes against Iran.

"Mr. Netanyahu may go down in history not as the leader who missed the warnings of the Oct. 7 attack but as the leader who delivered Israel from its three greatest threats by crushing Hamas, breaking Hezbollah and eliminating the nuclear threat from Iran," Miller added.

Gabbard insisted she was taken out of context. 

Miller wrote that Gabbard also said Iran's enriched-uranium stockpile was the highest it had ever been.

Miller argued that Iran was likely getting ready to deliver a nuclear weapon quickly if Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, gave orders to construct an actual weapon. 

"Whether or not Mr. [Ali] Khamenei gave the order for development of an actual nuclear weapon, there seems to have been little disagreement in any intelligence estimate that the people working underground in places like Natanz and Fordow were getting Iran's nuclear program ready to deliver a weapon quickly if and when that call came," Miller wrote. 

The CNN analyst noted that reports from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Iran had "exceeded the agreed limits, quantity of uranium, enrichment levels, the number and types of centrifuges," as well as the continued expansion of metal compounds that are used to create missiles. 

"No country without a nuclear-weapons program operates facilities buried under remote mountains and strives for faster centrifuges and more-highly enriched uranium. None of that makes sense for civilian energy programs," Miller wrote.  

While Trump's decision earned derision from Democrats and isolationist MAGA figures, he also earned praise from some of his biggest critics.

John Bolton, a former national security adviser for Trump who's become one of his staunchest foes, said Sunday that Trump made the right decision.
