> Iran was less than a month away from having a viable nuke
Oh, I see, you've bought the propaganda that Iran is close to a nuke. That's been the scare tactic for decades. Did you already forget the strike we did on their nuclear facilities months ago that supposedly set them back?
There was no justification for this war, the official US position is that we needed to get involved because Israel striked first and Iran was going to retaliate against us.
Israel is wagging the dog here since this is likely the last puppet they'll have in office and Iran threatens their power in the ME.
