Long-Standing Aggression and Strategic Goals
- Nuclear Ambitions: Despite the ongoing, direct conflict, the overarching driver of tension has been Iran's sustained pursuit of nuclear technology, which the U.S. and Israel have sought to dismantle.
- Proxy Warfare: Iran has long utilized a network of armed groups—including Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas, and the Houthis in Yemen—to project power and destabilize the region.
- Support for Russia: Iran has provided tens of thousands of suicide drones to Russia for use in its war against Ukraine.

Iran and Iranian-backed militias fired missiles at Israel and Arab states, apparently hitting the U.S. Embassy compound in Kuwait, while Israel and the United States pounded targets in Iran as the war expanded Monday with statements of defiance and increasing casualties.

Now what is your solution
There is and never was an "Iran problem". Israel has wanted to destroy Iran for its own geopolitical purposes for a long time. Iran has been resisting Israel's hegemony for decades, Israel is the problem in the region and always has been.
Only the US makes these bleatings about Iran being some huge threat, no one else takes that view.
If radical Islam is a concern then bomb Sunni Pakistan not Shia Iran. Pakistan is the most active player when it comes to harboring extreme Islamic ideological groups.
Radical Islam too is an aspect of
Sunni Islam, not Shia Islam, you clowns lump these together but they are distinct and quite different from one another.
Almost all Islamist terrorism is from Sunni Islamists, not Shia. Lumping these together is pretty stupid, but Israel does this because it likes to peddle a narrative about "Muslims".
This is Israel's war and always has been and the United States has been foolish enough to embarrass itself by blindly and obediently doing Israel's bidding.
So the solution? the US needs to step back from the abyss, disentangle itself from the Greater Israel grand plan and start doing what it should be, serving the American people not the deranged fanatical ne-Zionists, arguably the greatest source of terrorism in the Middle East.
Iran is targeting assets in countries that are all dictatorships, monarchies with less political freedom than Iran!
