3 costly mistakes Trump has already made in Iranby Joseph Bosco, opinion contributor


Americans and foreigners alike have questioned the wisdom, necessity and international law justification for the U.S.-Israel war on Iran. They tend to ignore the reality that, in one form or another, the Islamic Republic of Iran has been at war with both countries — which it calls “the Great Satan” and “Little Satan,” respectively — since it seized power in 1979 under the slogan, “Death to America, Death to Israel.”

Iran shares its violent enmity toward the U.S-led rules-based order with the criminal regimes of Russia, China and North Korea, all three armed with nuclear weapons and supportive of Iran’s efforts to become a nuclear power itself, in violation of international law. The four members of this axis of evil exchange mutual economic, diplomatic and military assistance in their individual and collective animus toward the West.
