Trump’s decision in 2018 to withdraw from an Obama-era nuclear dealprompted Tehran to accelerate its nuclear program, such that it’s now a de facto “nuclear threshold state.” Officials and diplomats from the U.S., EU and Israel all told Axios they expect Trump to face an Iran crisis in 2025.

    Thanks, I needed another thing to think about at night 🫠

    Dude literally couldn’t deal with an Obama era deal such that he set himself up for this. 2025 is definitely lining up to explode…

      Using American bombs, American jets and American pilots, launched from American Aircraft carriers…

      Israel does not have the capabilities to deal with Iran all by themselves. Even if we exclude the weapons, Israel doesnt have the manpower, especially while also bombing Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen at the same time.

    Y’all won’t believe this, but I was listening to Rush Limbaugh one day and he said the US had no right to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons and power. Weird.

    Ironically, it was Rush who later turned me away from conservatism.

      Yeah but israel are supposed to be the good guys so this is fine. Meanwhile Iran, who have been 5 minutes away from having nukes for the past 40 years, are the bad guys and must be destroyed. Iran having nukes means the US cannot threaten them with a direct war and that would be sad.
