    Why would anyone have started a war with Iran?

    • Negotiations were in place for nuclear disarmament, that nobody was projecting failure on.
    • Hormuz was always a known entity to the intelligence communities.
    • Israel has long needed to be told to get back in its box.

      well when you remember that America just does whatever Israel tells them to do… that’s why we were inevitably going to start a war in Iran no matter who was elected.

      Syria fell, Hezbollah in Lebanon was weakened. This openned air corridor to Iran from Israel. Biden was very supportive to Israel during Gaza. Its hard to imagine Iran operation would not get some support as well. Messaging would probably be about human/women rights so it would be easier for the publicc to swallow.

        I was unaware Harris was talking about her desires to turn Gaza into a vacation beach full of hotels during the election lead up.

        Going to war with Iran is giving Israel exactly what it wanted. So, why would someone want a ground war with Iran?

      Iran was already fighting a proxy war with Israel. We can debate the best response, but don’t claim the war is new. I too opposed this action because bad as Iran is, war is still evil.
