I couldn't disagree more. Iran is 90% bluster and talk. Do you really think they can know where Trump is and get to him at any given time? Trump is the most protected man on this planet!
Now, if they actually succeeded in assassinating Trump, THAT would be a true act of war. Nancy would finally have her impeachment she wanted and Pence would have his authorization to flatten Iran like a bug.
I disagree with your disagreement. The mere announcement of a bounty to kill Trump, is an ACT of murder upon a US president. Iran must go down now, and why wait until they have a nuclear bomb ?
But it WASN'T an act of murder ---- Trump is alive and well, and they DON'T have a nuclear bomb! You and I don't have access to the intelligence information to make these decisions. Iran is a small country halfway around the globe. We can no more obliterate them purely on the POTENTIAL for a possible threat than a cop and court can arrest, convict and sentence you because you own a weapon and MIGHT go out and possibly rob a store with it!
Like it or not, it will take some act of heinous provocation or the known intention or effort to commit such.
You are minimizing Iran's act
They put a HIT on president Trump. The "known intention" is there
Are you talking about a Fatwa? Hasn't Iran been issuing Fatwas and threats against leaders all over for decades, not just the US but Israel and perhaps others? If that is all you want to consider, I think it far more likely they plot a "hit" using inside people on their own terms rather than the idea of a general "bounty" where someone anywhere can say: "Hey, I could use a few million to buy a new home!?" Muslims kill more for religious zeal than personal profit, so if all this comes down to is a vague threat of a bounty (the Ayatollah has said in words specifically he is out to get Trump, Pompao and one other), then perhaps we can invoke the Bethlehem Doctrine again this time taking out the Ayatollah as an "imminent" threat?
At any rate, it still does not justify destroying the entire country without some overt act of war. The world has become rather skittish of war and could take actions against the USA themselves (non-military) or even charge us with war crimes. Many EU countries do business with Iran. Truth be told, I think most people in Iran would celebrate if they could be returned to the pre-Islamic state they once knew where they led rather free and prosperous lives.
