Trump 'Looking' at Iran, Just Like Every War-Hawk Since '79
Funny, because 'looking' at Iran has been a bipartisan D.C. hobby, particularly around election cycles or when a convenient distraction is required. President Trump's past rhetoric on Iran, especially after withdrawing from the JCPOA, was hardly a beacon of peace, culminating in the assassination of General Soleimani in 2020. This persistent hawkish posture isn't an isolated whim, but part of a
well-trodden path, paved with 'intelligence reports' and 'existential threats,' echoing every administration since the 1979 revolution. We might ask which 'operations' are being considered. The ones that destabilized Iraq? The ones that plunged Libya into chaos? Or perhaps the ones that have led to the current humanitarian catastrophe in Yemen, fueled by Saudi intervention and U.S. arms sales? One
must question the timing of such discussions – always when public attention might be diverted from domestic failures or intense international scrutiny elsewhere.
