Iran has been in constant war with the United States for 48 years since 1979, that has killed thousands of U.S. soldiers and civilians.
Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H W Bush, Bill Clinton, George W Bush, Barack Obama, and Joseph Biden all did little to nothing, either afraid or just hoped against logic that Iran's growing threat would just go away. And in the cases of Barack Obama and Joe Biden, gave Iran's islamic terror regime billions of dollars to widen their war against the United States, and further attack our allies worldwide, and even used the money BIDEN AND OBAMA GAVE THEM to develop nuclear weapons, and the missiles to carry them.
Three months ago when Trump sent negotiators to try and reach a peaceful solution, one of the Iranian diplomats boasted that Iran already had 60%-plus enriched uranium, enough to build 11 nuclear warheads, and missiles to carry them, and that Iran was just weeks away from having completed bombs and missiles, ready to deploy. When U.S. negotiators communicated this to Trump, THAT is the exact point that Trump made the decision to go to war on Iran, to prevent Iran from reaching that threshold.
Keep in mind, less than a year ago, the U.S. did a bombing strike that took out Iran's underground mountain nuclear manufacturing bases completely.
And then undeterred, Iran just immediately rebuilt its nuclear program and missiles.
And further used that redeveloped nukes program to threaten U.S. negotiators. In the Obama or Biden administrations, that would have intimidated them into submission, and Iran would now have nuclear weapons to blackmail or destroy the world. But Trump would not permit that to happen, and did what was necessary.
Trump would prefer a diplomatic approach, but because Iran was revealed to be weeks away from having completed nuclear weapons, Trump knew there wasn't time to wait till after the mid-term election, he had to act now to prevent Iran from being in a position to become a nuclear power. A fanatical Islamic regime that is already the greatest sponsor of terrorism, that for 48 years has daily chanted "Death to America", and "Death to Israel", has said it wants nuclear weapons "to advance the cause of Islam", and with nuclear weapons, it "would wipe Israel off the map".
A nation this fanatical can not be permitted to obtain nuclear weapons. Period, the end.
I absolutely support Trump's actions in Iran. He is doing what is necessary, and 48 years overdue.
