We’re at War with Iran Because We Never Punished Bush for Iraq

It’s been three months since the United States and Israel launched their joint attack on Iran on February 28, assassinating Iran’s head of state and slaughtering schoolchildren in Minab. Ever since, the war against Iran has been an unfolding catastrophe. Day after day, we’ve seen U.S. soldiers coming home in coffins, an estimated 2,100 civilian deaths (and rising) across the region, a supposed “ceasefire” in April where the U.S. has continued striking southern Iran anyway, and an intractable blockade of the Strait of Hormuz that has spiked global energy prices, worsening the cost-of-living crisis for ordinary people everywhere. In the press, the emerging consensus is that Trump’s war is a failure on strategic terms. Less attention has been paid to the more basic fact: that the war is simply wrong , regardless of how successful or unsuccessful it might be.
