Postpone Iran

Many in the news are questioning why we are where we are with Iran. When Trump was campaigning, he said he would not get into endless wars in the Middle East and in less than one year in office he bombed the nuclear facilities in Iran. This led to negotiations which were on going when Trump once again started bombing Iran. What happened. The talks were going nowhere and the US concluded that Iran was just stalling while they rebuilt their nuclear program and continued building up their missiles and drones. Iran felt safe from any ground invasion because of Trump’s campaign promise. Then on Feb 28, 2026 the US got word that 40 top Iranian leaders were meeting in one room and the opportunity was too great to pass by. Only a month into the invasion, the world is stunned by the size and number of Iran’s military build up and one can only assume that this would continue, until such time as they would only be stopped by an all-out war, much like WW 2. Iran was at a weakened point having lost the safe transfer of weapons through Syria to Hezbollah, the destruction of Hamas in Gaza the weakening of the Houthis and the devastating effects of the sanctions on their economy. The political safe action would be to just let them go and turn the problem over to the next administration.
