Olivia Troye - We're at War with Iran, Whether Trump Admits It or Not

Donald Trump promised to be the peacemaker. No new wars. But this week, the United States crossed a line that every prior administration, Republican and Democrat, deliberately avoided. Not because they were “dumb Presidents,” as JD Vance claimed, but because they understood the gravity of war and the complexity of the Middle East.

Now, the U.S. has bombed Iranian nuclear sites. The world is bracing for what comes next.

Yes, Iran has been hiding undeclared nuclear material. That’s deeply concerning. But there's no official assessment of an imminent threat to the U.S., and no proof that we delivered a blow to their actual program other than scaring them and hitting them in the ego. Time will tell what we actually accomplished, other than guaranteeing a response.

National security experts have long noted you can damage a facility or even kill scientists, but you can’t bomb away technical knowledge. Iran knows how to enrich uranium. And with every failed diplomatic effort, that knowledge becomes more dangerous.
