We are at war, and the US tried everything diplomatically and economically with Iran. Then Iran attacked our embassy in Iraq. 13 hours later this was our response.
This is how wars get curtailed. Get the other guy to not want to fight, or remove their ability to fight. It’s the only way it is done.
I agree, we are at war. This is the new normal for wars, they are undeclared terrorist wars. This is a major win for our side and had to be done. Thankfully we had the the intelligence and Trump allowed the response. Unlike Clinton who let Bin Laden escape putting many soldiers at risk in the eventual attack at his compound.
