Please note, this war was initiated unilaterally by a man who claims he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for ending eight wars--- by a man who promised when he ran for President never to get us involved in “forever wars.”Actually, the war with Iran is Trump’s seventh military assault during his second term. [According to a report in the Guardian, a British observer of the US-Iran negotiations said a deal was within reach just before Trump started the war. If we recognize the Trump Administration justifications for what they are --- garbage --- then how do we explain this war of choice? Later conflict with the rising Japanese empire led to our entry into World War II. It is Trump’s war that has closed off the Strait of Hormuz.
