    Iran doesn’t have the capacity to attack the US directly, you could simply withdraw troops from the middle east and cut off Israel. From there it’s a matter of offered concessions or otherwise ignoring the region and hoping things restablize.

      Iran has shown willingness to negotiate. I just think that at this point they just don’t want to negotiate with Trump anymore.

        Which is why I included the option of just abandoning the region. Frankly the middle east is just a liability and has been since the 70s oil crisis. It’s a statement on foolishness that not only has reliance on oil held steady but expanded. If a forceful material change is required then so be it.

          You completely ignored my point. Leaving the region include stopping all aids to Israel and aiding all sanctions on Iran and for this to happen you need the majority of the congress to approve it which is not the case right now

        The US opened this conflict up by bombing a pre-teen girls school in Iran, and civilan infrastructure-- war crimes and terrorism. And the “west” has been supporting the Palestinian holocaust, war crimes and racism conducted by the zionists for 80 years. I could go on and on about all the crimes that we have seen, but its old news.

        I dont think many countries in the “west” get to unironically use that “terrorism” word anymore. Its especially meaningless when we pretend its a travesty then do it nonstop ourselves.
