- Trump has deployed the largest military presence in the Middle East since the Iraq War, focusing on Iran.
- The U.S. has not reduced its military commitment to the Middle East despite plans to pivot to Asia.
- Trump has not provided a clear rationale for a potential war with Iran, resembling the lead-up to the Venezuela operation.
- The Venezuela operation's justifications (drug trade, liberation) disappeared after Maduro's removal, leaving only control over oil.
- Trump's military buildup near Iran lacks public debate, congressional involvement, or a unified justification.
- Previous pretexts for war with Iran (nuclear program, human rights) are either invalid or hypocritical given U.S. alliances with repressive regimes.
- Netanyahu's influence on U.S. policy is evident, with Trump moving closer to war with Iran amid his visits.
- Trump's actions suggest U.S. wars in the Middle East serve foreign interests, not American ones.
