They’re going to blame this on Iran, aren’t they?

This also happened on 9/11 which is curious because the NVIDIA thing caused a public rift with Lutnick yesterday:

No, please stop engaging in baseless and pointless speculation. If the US wants to bomb Iran it doesn’t need more reasoning than it has already used to already do what it has done.

If you haven’t noticed the Iran war is universally unpopular. They actually do need to fabricate a reason to continue.

No they don’t - popularity isn’t all that relevant. The president can just order strikes tomorrow.

Besides popularity isn’t the determination of whether something is a good idea or not. The Korean War for example was very unpopular yet it was the right and smart thing to do.

The Korean War was absolutely not the right thing to do. It was a literal terrorist act by the US that killed 2.5 million civilians. I can’t believe you used that as an example.
