Iran Timeline

Loose timeline of events that defies the Democrats position that Trump wants to rush us to war with Iran.

Loose timeline of events that defies the Democrats position that Trump wants to rush us to war with Iran. The Democrats and their media take Iran's side over American interests in all of this and claim Trump is rushing us into war by trying all other alternatives and waiting years before finally attacking back. I'd ask whose side are they on, but we all know. Right?

Conclusion[edit | edit source]

In every one of these, the Democrats and their media take Iran's side over the President and American interests and claim Trump is rushing us into war by trying all other alternatives and waiting a few years before finally attacking back. I'd ask whose side are they on, but we all know. Right?
