In June 2019 tensions between the U.S. and Iran escalated after a U.S. surveillance drone was shot down by Iran’s revolutionary guard in the Gulf of Oman. The U.S. claimed it was an “unprovoked attack” and the drone was flying in international airspace. 2 weeks earlier the Trump administration blamed Iran for the attacks on two oil tankers who were bombed in the Gulf of Oman. Iran denied any involvement. In early June Iran announced that it would break its uranium stockpile limit set under the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. Under the deal Iran was allowed to keep a maximum of 660 pounds of uranium enriched to 3.67%. Analysts predict that if the uranium is enriched to 20% or more Iran would be capable of developing nuclear weapons.

Yes, if they attack us or provoke us
@84JHJXZ4yrs4Y
Only if Iran attacks the United States and if Congress approves of war.
@michaelconnely3yrs3Y
This depends on Iran. This is a military intelligence area where I will not comment. You do not project your intentions. It is unwise.
@8R377JD4yrs4Y
Yes, but only if they pose a direct threat
@63ZXW6N4yrs4Y
No, unless there's true danger.
@6HQ4HQ54yrs4Y
No, unless they attack first. We should try diplomacy first
@86KXRPK4yrs4Y
Yes only if it's the last option
@8RV5FY74yrs4Y
I think that we should try to negotiate with diplomatic channels first, then if that is not met we need to enter in with military force to prevent major catastrophes.
@8XMFL273yrs3Y
Yes. Iran as the number one state sponsor of terrorism is already at war with us.
