Because they don't like Iran and they have the power to push their agenda.
Never in my life would I have expected to hear America was the bad faith actor with IRAN. Even if they were behind the scenes they would win the PR battle.
Now this administration just looks like a bully with no measured response to anything. Iran is trouncing the US diplomatically.
On the war front Iran is already making moves to indicate that if this becomes a war, Iraq will be forfeit as well, so that's another consideration to take in mind. It's all a big mess.

Iran already controls Iraq. What did you think ISIS and the sectarian conflicts were about?Never in my life would I have expected to hear America was the bad faith actor with IRAN. Even if they were behind the scenes they would win the PR battle.

Very true, but in the eyes of the world, and especially for the average American they don't. That's the war the US won. Iran is gently letting everyone know the narrative may start to get fuzzy.

The Americans won the Iraqi war?
that's what I was saying when I got banned from that first Iran thread.
Iran is definitely breaking the deal in piecemeal, but its not worth going to war over. The europeans know this but they' ain't got the heart for the drama and so keep the business going.
Look at Germany.
Look, the IAEA will say whatever the powers want them to say.
c'mon bruh...iran is obviously full of shyt on the deal but the IAEA will do whatever the big boys say and defend the deal that every knows is being broken.Never in my life would I have expected to hear America was the bad faith actor with IRAN.

its just how far across that red line Iran will cross will be tolerated. Europeans, especially Germany want the business. Russians really don't care too tough. China is just sitting on the fence.
Yeah. Both of them. In record time. They toppled Iraq like some Lincoln logs. 2-3 months.The Americans won the Iraqi war?
Now, the nation building is a problem.
I've always wondered why the USA's goal wasn't just to go in and fukk Afghanistan up and bounce. I don't understand the whole staying around thing.

Trump may not want war but his policies led by Bolton and Pompeo could lead to a gun of August scenario. Basically, a war by accident where things spiral out of control and since Trump is so insecure of himself he will want to show how tough of a guy he is. Bolton and Pompeo knows this. Im waiting to see what the Iranians do in 60 days because if the EU on their end dont offset the US sanction Iran is going to piece by piece restart the nuclear program. Bolton is forcing Trumps hand in the event Iran restarts their nuclear program to strike Iran. The next 6 months are critical.
where is the aircraft carrier group that was sent?
how far away is it from where it's going and where exactly is it going?

You guys gotta remember the Iran-Iraq war in the 80s killed close to 500k people and Iran was fighting Iraq under Saddam who was backed by damn near everyone (US, USSR, Europe, etc.) Things like this we forget explain the gulf between how they see this and how many of our leaders do. They are vowing to never again get into such a pickle and they will go all out and burn the region down before getting punked.

People forget that Hezbollah has taken advantage of the fact that there is a huge Lebanese diaspora globally such as in Brazil (2nd largest Lebanese population globally) other parts of S. America/Latin America, France, and West Africa. Vast majority of Lebanese descendants are like
towards them but they do have supporters. They work those contacts just about as good as Israel or China. There is a huge underbelly globally we are going to have a hard time defending. I agree we need to check them outside the ME but ever since that war against Israel in 2007 Hezbollah has become an indispensable part of the Lebanese political fabric. If you deal with Lebanon, you deal with them indirectly, even if a Sunni is PM
