Iran does not possess intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the continental United States. The consensus among nuclear experts is that Iran is not weeks away from producing nuclear bombs as claimed by Israel and Trump. In a 2012 address to the UN General Assembly Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu explicitly declared that Iran is weeks away from developing nuclear weapons. Since then, the warmonger has regularly warned that Iran is weeks away from having nuclear weapons. Yeah right, and Sidney Sweeney is only weeks away from accepting my marriage proposal.

In short, Iran does not pose an imminent threat to America, so why did Trump launch a massive aerial attack on the Islamic country? The ongoing military conflict against Iran is burning hundreds of billions of taxpayer money, so there must be a legitimate reason for going to war, right?

Trump has provided varying explanations for his military action against Iran. But the sad reality is that America has nothing to gain by attacking Iran, and our commander-in-chief took the extreme and unwarranted action on the behalf of Israel and to curry favor with his evangelical base.

Christian Nationalist Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and subordinates have invoked “biblical end times” rhetoric to justify involvement to troops. One officer told his troops that “Trump had been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth.”

The unstable Trump and his Christian Nationalist military officers aren’t going to hasten the return of Jesus Christ, but they may ignite a nuclear Armageddon or at least a regional war that will cost thousands of lives and blow up the world economy.
