Publocc Opinion |  The Trump Regime Will Not Make Full War on Iran

Below is from David Sanger of the New York Times on the paper's radio show, The Daily. Full transcript.

"This is a country of 90 million people. They have considerable ability not only to strike back with missiles, but with a terror network that runs throughout Europe and to some degree has shown some capability to operate inside the United States. 

...

"It’s not as if the Iranians are in a position right now to attack us.

...

"Instead, the president might be engaging in what legal and diplomatic historians call a preventive war. A war where we are strong, our adversary is weak, and so we’re going to hit them now because we’ve got a good chance.

"That is, in international just war theory, considered to be an illegal use of force.

"That may not stop the president.

"The president may believe that he’ll go down in history as the one who solved America’s long running conflict with Iran that goes back to 1979. 

"But if the president decides to take military action in the next few days or weeks, I suspect that historians will look back at this moment as a war of choice, not a war of necessity."
