Well, a couple of days ago Iran fired 2 missiles at a US base in the Indian Ocean with twice the range of anything they were supposed to be allowed to have.

That was pretty validating for the war effort.

Iran shooting back after being attacked validates the decision to attack them in the first place?

"supposed to be allowed to have."

Ridiculous premise. They armed themselves thusly because American politicians have been singing "Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran!" for generations.

Right. Under sanctions to prevent them from being a danger to everyone around them while they sponsor terror globally and go on TV talking about getting nuclear weapons to destroy Israel.

Most of Europe is within striking distance of their current capabilities that they were not supposed to have.

Treaties gave terms to limit the range of their missiles. Treaties were agreed to to prevent them from enriching uranium.

They violated both. Had they been allowed to continue on their path, we can all expect that we would be looking at a nuclear terror attack in the near future.

People are going to react for their left/right politics but the Iranian regime is a danger to the entire planet. There’s a reason that Iranian expats world wide have been celebrating in the streets.

Their biggest fear is that we are going to leave before the regime is fully removed.

The real dangers to peace in the Middle East are America, Israel and historically the British, because these three are the bastards that toppled Iran's democracy and lead them to such a defensive posture in the first place. With the utmost respect, kindly blow your judeo-american sanctions out your ass. America should have NOTHING to do with Iran whatsoever, we don't have any moral right to intervention here.

It’s impossible to take anyone seriously who dismisses the threat of developing a nuclear weapon with intent to use it.

Sponsoring and funding global terror networks is not a “defensive posture”. Giving speeches about nuking your enemy while secretly developing those capabilities isn’t either.

		"Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran" Gee, I wonder why they want nukes. Pity they didn't get them in time, this whole war might have been averted.

		Please apply your thoughts to Israel then. Israel is the greatest destabilizing force in the middle east. From Gaza, to false flags in Iran, Saudi Arabia and who knows where else.

		>secretly developing those capabilities isn’t either. At least Iran's been pretty transparent about their intentions for a while now. Israel maintains the "strategic ambiguity" about its nuclear "energy" development which is the stupidest fucking thing ever. Of course they've got nuclear weapons.

That is not a validation of anything and it is not a US base.
