We Had To Attack Iran Because They Would Have Attacked Us If We Attacked Them

let us all ignore khamenei's fatwa against nuclear weapons..

Israel’s determination to attack Iran and the certainty that US troops would be targeted in response forced the Trump administration to take pre-emptive strikes, the secretary of state, Marco Rubio, said, in a new explanation for Washington’s surprise entry into the conflict.

The rationale drew divided reviews from top members of Congress who on Monday evening received the first briefing by the Trump administration since it ordered the air campaign to begin over the weekend.

Rubio; the CIA director, John Ratcliffe; and joint chiefs of staff, chair Dan Caine; spoke to the lawmakers behind closed doors in the Capitol ahead of a vote expected later this week in the House of Representatives on a war powers resolution that presents an unlikely opportunity to force Trump to end hostilities against Iran.

“It was abundantly clear that if Iran came under attack by anyone – the United States or Israel or anyone – they were going to respond, and respond against the United States,” Rubio told reporters at the Capitol.

“We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action. We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn’t pre-emptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties.”

JD Vance said in an interview on Fox News on Monday night that the US aim was to make sure “Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon”.

“The president wants to make it clear to the Iranians and to the world that he is not going to rest until he accomplishes that all-important objective of ensuring that Iran can’t have a nuclear weapon,” the vice-president said.

US strikes on Iran triggered by Israel’s plan to launch attack, Rubio says

Democrats disturbed by rationale that Trump ordered pre-emptive strikes out of concern about Tehran retaliation

Iran has a long history of murdering innocent Jews and Christians, and their retaliatory attacks differ little from their routine murders of innocent people throughout recent history.

Iran has a long history of murdering innocent Jews and Christians, and their retaliatory attacks differ little from their routine murders of innocent people throughout recent history.

The Iranian government- EVERY Iranian government except the Mossadegh government that the Iranian people elected and the Brits and CIA overthrew- oppressed its people, but most often because of dissent against the government, not because of religious affiliation. The nasty little Shah was as oppressive as the Ayatollah, he just lacked skills that came with technology.

The thugs who overthrew the Shah proved to be far more brutal and oppressive than the Shah.
