We don't know why we're at war with Iran

About this episode

After launching a brutal military assault on Iran, the Trump administration attempted to finally explain its rationale to the American people.

But as The Grayzone's Wyatt Reed explains, their case is paper thin.

No wonder it's the most unpopular war at its inception in recent American history.

So today the White House finally issued its explanation via social media of why Iran put such an imminent threat that we had no choice but to start a war. The evidence consists of a series of incidents which Trump claims Iran orchestrated and which US service members were killed or injured spanning all the way back to the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Now a handful of these have some attachments to reality. The vast majority are a bit of a stretch and if you want to know what I mean let's go ahead and roll the tape on this incident supposedly occurring between 2023 and 2024 in which three US service members were killed. Let's hear the defense secretary of the time Lloyd Austin explain exactly how they know that Iran was responsible and what Iran knew about the attack and Jordan or how operationally it was involved. You know we believe that this was done by an element of what is known as the axis of resistance and

these are Iranian proxy groups and how much Iran knew or didn't know we we don't know but it really doesn't matter. What a perfect explanation. We don't know if the Iranians were responsible but who cares it doesn't matter. It really tells you everything you need to know about how paper thin the rationale for this war has been from the very beginning and it seems the American people know it. This may be the least popular war in American history at its inception a majority of people are already against it. Why? Because they know that it's not worth it to die for greater Israel and the rest of us who still support this somehow need to wake up.
