The entire goal here is to apply maximum pressure to Iran, normalize relationships with GCC countries and Israel, give the US navy some live action and best down Iranian proxies.

They did go to congress and lie stating there was an imminent threat.

The laws passed post 9/11 ensured we no longer have to send a Colin Powell ever again.

No one knows the goal of this war. It changes everyday.

What laws post 9-11 means we don’t have to send a Colin Powell to the UN? I don’t think we ever had a law regarding that, unless I’m mistaken.


The real truth, the US has been in a high grade constitutional crisis since the Korean War with regards to military and and really since FDR’s actions with executive orders. The executive branch has too much power and every POTUS has expanded it since FDR. It needs to be reigned in but no POTUS would ever do that.

Edit: nonsense about needing a strong political party is goofy. We need a strong legislative branch. You can argue it’s the weakest of the three.

I mean a POTUS reigns it in by not utilizing power. In theory scotus or the congress could/would also stop potus but that ship long sailed. So wtf are you even saying. Nothing?

The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 generally calls for a much more aggressive U.S. posture against Iran, including tighter sanctions, stronger military deterrence, and efforts to weaken Iran’s regional proxy network.
It strongly favors deep strategic alignment with Israel, especially on security, intelligence, missile defense, and counterterrorism, while supporting normalization between Israel and Arab states through the Abraham Accords framework.
For Lebanon, the focus is largely on countering Hezbollah and reducing Iranian influence, with support for strengthening the Lebanese state and military if they oppose Hezbollah.
Toward Gulf states like Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Qatar, the strategy emphasizes stronger security partnerships, arms cooperation, energy stability, and building a regional anti-Iran coalition.
Overall, the Middle East vision behind Project 2025 is a more hardline, pro-Israel, anti-Iran regional order centered on U.S. military strength, strategic alliances, and reduced tolerance for Iranian-backed militant groups.
