They've been doing nothing & it's lead to this. Putin's been attacking Ukraine they were reluctant & slow to do anything. Netanyahu's been attacking Gaza & the world watched. This is what happens. Now Trump is emboldened to attack the world. Didn't the world learn from Hitler?

A U.S. official said American military strikes on Iran were underway.

Remember when Congress authorized the use of force against Iran?

Me neither.

Any U.S. attack on Iran would violate U.S. and international law.
