> The US has absolutely no business attacking Iran.

Iran's theocratic regime just murdered tens of thousands of protestors, regularly organizes chants of "Death to America", calls the US "The Great Satan", sponsors terror organizations all around the region, has (through their Houthi proxies) cut off critical sea lanes in one of the most strategic areas, is very close to developing nuclear weapons (with enough HEU already to build maybe a dozen bombs), has extensive ballistic missile magazines and expertise, and is working on ICBMs explicitly to reach the US homeland.

But oh yeah, this is totally unprovoked and the US has no business attacking Iran. Right.

1. There's absolutely no proof that happened.

2. Maybe if we weren't killing millions of Arabs on behalf of Israel, they wouldn't hate us.

3. I would absolutely want Iran to have nuclear weapons to put Israel in check.

Israel is a terrorist nation controlling my country and Iran is an ally in the fight against them.

    Pathetic.

      What I said is factual. We're already seeing pictures of murdered children coming out of Iran, just like we did with Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon... Not a single shred of evidence has been produced to back the claim that Iran murdered anyone, let alone tens of thousands of people.

It's amazing to see the justification done by some people to attack other sovereign countries. Did not america learn from the fake WMD fiasco with Iraq?

    > fake WMD fiasco

    https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/iran-stored-highly...

      The IAEA estimates that Iran had 440.9 kg of uranium enriched to up to
  60% before last year's Israeli-U.S. attacks - enough, if enriched further,
  for 10 nuclear weapons, according to an IAEA yardstick.
  
  The agency and Western powers believe the bulk of that is still intact.
  Washington wants Tehran to give it up.

    I seem to have missed the IAEA report on Iraq's 400+ kilos of HEU.

      Jm2c but I wonder how people can be surprised that Iran wanted to build a nuclear weapon, especially after the US under Trump's first presidency pulled out the nuclear deal struck under Obama and cornered Iran even more.

      Like do people in US realize that countries around the world take notes about what happened to the Libyas and Iraqs and many others (like Colombia recently) and see that the US will attack other countries with impunity.

      >> *if enriched further*

      Keyword there. They said they were not pursuing weapon enrichment.

      Let's also not pretend that the US and israel care about international law, after all, there are arrest warrants by the ICC against israeli officials.
