However, in June 2025 Israel and a few days later the USA did attack Iranian air defenses and then their uranium enrichment facilities.

Oh yeah, they were “obliterated”....

So why are we over there now?

I see my ever-present stalker poodle is back crying for attention.

You flatter yourself by implying I "stalk" you, another sign of your complete lack of self awareness.
I pop up everywhere I see idiocy and mock it.
And you qualify.

So Iran declared war on us--according to you--47 years ago...and your blob ignored it for 5 years (2017-2021, 2025). Do I have that right so far?

You never get anything right.
Iran didn't "declare war", they just went and engaged (started) such. Mostly unconventional and asymmetrical.
Although some might think a constant policy(chant) of "Death to Evil Great Satan(USA)" is close to a "declaration".

Meanwhile your blobs spent over 20 years aiding Iran in its fight against the USA. Especially Obummer who gave back some of their impounded money and lifted sanctions.

 

[Stryder50]

I know one thing for sure: your Obama and Biden fellated Iran's leaders for years.

Clinton also lent a hand that way.

I can't believe this guy and his team have taken us to war. Not only that, but their plans, or lack of any real plans that they all can agree on, keep falling by the wayside. Only the defenders and apologists of Trump seem to have their act together - and that act is to attack anyone and everybody who tries to question the seemingly lack of a Trump strategy here. Sure, we see the successes of US military tactical operations, but any clear strategy seems to be guided by Trump's mercurial nature -- his love of chaos.

Trump Threatens Iran as His Plan for Strait of Hormuz Disintegrates

Trump is warning that Iran will be “blown off the face of the earth.”

newrepublic.com

It’s clear Trump’s plan to take control of the Strait of Hormuz wasn’t well thought out. Did Trump really expect the Iranian government to just cave to his demands?

On Monday afternoon, shortly after begging South Korea to join the war following the attack on its ship, the president announced that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine will hold a press conference Tuesday morning.

Its brilliant... we have defeated Iran's military and their defenses with few US lives and now we are starving Iran and bringing them to their knees without bombs or boots.... all wars should be conducted this smartly.... if you had ever been in combat you would agree... finally we are being smart about war....

Like you, Trump is inclined to hyperbole.
You also seem to get confused with English.
Iran wasn't "obliterated", just the targets we knew of and 'bombed' appeared to have been. Some of those have been repaired/rebuilt and replaced*. Other potential targets weren't know of at the time.

* One of the pre-attack set-ups was Israel's cyber set-up sending messages to Iran's top military leaders to congregate at a place for what was a false meeting. All the eggs in one basket for easier targeting.

You just can’t answer a question can you?

Your blob ignored Iran for 5 years...campaigned on no new wars....you supported every moment of those actions...now you’ve done a complete 180 since he needed to divert from his miserable domestic agenda.

I see my self-delusional clown thinks she's more important than she is.

Certainly no where near as smart or informed as her delusional self thinks she is.

You just can't understand the answers.
And you ask ignorant and inane questions.
Looks like bored straw grasping on your part.

"something else" being rectal rejections/ejections.

It was a simple yes or no bout Trump but you started mentioning Biden and Obama. So apparently you don’t understand the question.

And you ask ignorant and inane questions.

Well, I’m asking questions that embarrass simple fools like you. It seems to be working.

Context - fool.
Only simple minds think their "simple" questions are simple.

When did you stop beating your spouse ?

The thing I and most other non Americans find most galling is the smugness displayed that the US won't be as affected by the shit it's causing in the ME as much as everyone else.

You wouldn't believe how happy we are that the US is escaping most of the consequences of its actions, so far.

Most nonAmericans of the Euro variety want their cake and eat it too

They want American military protection

Particularly governments in the UK, Italy, France, Spain snd Germany that have little or no military to speak of

But when America needed them they didnt lift a finger to help

They want American military protection

And they DONT WANT TO PAY FOR IT

When America invoked Article 5 in Afghanistan, then promptly forgot about it, you mean?

But no worries, its ingratitude is outweighed by its smugness.
