In 2009, as the newly elected President, Obama made a move which enabled yesterdays attack by Iran. What Obama did was stop Iran’s Green Revolution, keeping the Mullahcracy in place. Additional actions by the Obama administration, most notably handing Iran pallets of money and negotiating the JCPOA set the stage for Iran to produce nukes. "Under the JCPOA, Iran agreed to eliminate its stockpile of medium-enriched uranium, cut its stockpile of low-enriched uranium by 98%, and reduce by about two-thirds the number of its gas centrifuges for 13 years. For the next 15 years, Iran agreed to enrich uranium only up to 3.67%." (Wikipedia)
Israel's next actions need to be weighed carefully because it will have a global impact. What I believe Israel needs to do is wage a war in such a way whereby the Iranian people can rise up and finish the Green Revolution, destroy the Mullahcracy and then tie up all loose ends with Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis and other radical Islamic terrorist groups.
Consider the last scene of The Godfather. "Michael: Barzini's dead. So is Phillip Tattaglia, Moe Greene, Stracci, Cuneo. Today, I settle all family business, so don't tell me you're innocent, Carlo."
I’ve always wanted a PIECE of the MIDDLE EAST. :)
I didn’t want the US to get involved in Ukraine.
I didn’t want the US to get involved in Gaza.
I’m tempted to say “Now is our chance! Let’s get Iran!” but I’m thinking we should keep our distance from this one too.
The Moolah$ have been beggin’ for somebody to nuke Iran for sometime now.
(face palm)
But at the same time, we should never forget the role that Democrat Jimmy Carter and Zbig Brzezinski played in in removing our good ally, the Shah, and the installation of the Ayatollah.
Instead of the CIA constantly picking the wrong side and overthrowing the wrong governments, including our own in 2020, maybe they should concentrate on Iran. There are plenty of smart Persians who would love to overthrow their 6th century cult overlords. Do something right for a change. Unfortunately the State Dept is 100% on the side of jihadis.
Israel needs its own Alexander the Great to permantly end the Persian menace. The mullah regime rallies its people with Death to Israel chants, uses surrogates to attack Israel and is constantly seeking the latest technology to destroy the Jewish state. Israel must eliminate the mullah regime.
The Shah was an huge obstacle to the Iranian mullahs. As was a powerful Iraq.
Democrat Jimmy Carter removed the Shah.
Republican George W. Bush removed Saddam Hussein.
The mullahs really should award these two idiots a medal. Or at least a certificate of thanks.
At least you got the I before the E.
Hows about we re-re-elect Trump and let him sort it out.
Works for me. 😄
Russia came out the other day to say that any attack on Iranian soil would cause them to come to Iran’s assistance. Not to mention that Iran could close the Strait of Hormuz and collapse Western economies. So attacking Iran is likely to cause more problems than it solves.
Middle East piece?
Or, peace?
Thank you for this post - there’s too many here all het up over the bombing of the terrorist’s embassy - while ignoring all the crap they spread...
Used to be FR had a lot of sensible conservative realists - these days there’s a lot of Kool-Aid drunk “converts.
The Iranian people don’t want absolute freedom any more than we the American people do. It’s too much of a struggle compared to the bounty that we have at the moment. YOU, me, everyone talks a good game but will never do anything to jeopardize the delicate balance of “freedom” and food on the table, aside from bitching and the occasional flamboyant t-shirt or bumper sticker.
The mullahs in Iran, just as the mullahs (Politians and those pulling their strings) in America aren’t going anywhere. They will get more money and power with our blessings.
They and us might trade one faction for the next but nothing changes in the end...
Which piece of the Middle East?
Biden as a puppet of Obama gave them billions and the precarious state of war in the Middle East is the direct result of that deliberate action.
“Democrat Jimmy Carter removed the Shah.
Republican George W. Bush removed Saddam Hussein.
The mullahs really should award these two idiots a medal. Or at least a certificate of thanks.“

You can attribute it Bush and Carter, but the reality is that it was more anti-American regime changes by the CIA and their globalist cabal of which both Bushes were active participants and Carter was a typical Democrat southern Protestant anti-Semite dupe.
> So attacking Iran is likely to cause more problems than it solves. <
I don’t know if Iran should be directly attacked or not. But you do make a point worth considering. Since 1945 the United States has been rushing into conflicts without thinking about how things could eventually play out. Not good.
Israel might have a totally different view of the situation. I get that.
I agree with your post. In many ways both Bushes and Carter were just frontmen. Kinda like Biden is today.
On the other hand, Trump is his own person. That’s one reason the Deep State hates him.
