we need to Declare War on Iran .

How much longer will the world allow Iran to thumb it’s nose
at everyone else? To arm our other enemies against us ?
To threaten Israel and America and Europe ?
To threaten a major portion of the worlds oil supply?
To develop nuclear weapons and the delivery systems ?

Declare war now and history will thank us later .

They should be given an ultimatum .
Immediate regime change or a return to the Stone Age .

Iran is buying arms for the Taliban. All we have to do is stop arms sales to Iran and the war is over.

Iran cannot even arm itself without buying arms from other countries. Ironically, the world’s largest arms dealer is guess who — The United States of America.

How so? What did we give them?

The position of the government was that they give them back to us, with no strings attatched.
