How would you have handled Iran?
Legit question.
Maybe a better question may be how should Trump handle Israel and Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu?
Israel and Iraq have been battling since 1948. This conflict continues to this day. Iraq and Israel have been in a continuous state of war or active hostility since 1960. U.S.-Israel alliance was established in the 1960s. Since then, Israeli security interests and lobbying efforts have played a significant role in influencing US policy. The 2003 Iraq war with Israel has long been a subject of debate, with most analysts arguing it was not the primary cause, though many believe it was.
As of today, the battle continues across the Middle East, despite the announcement of a two-week ceasefire.
