How many US soldiers do you believe are worth dying in the Iran war?

Iran supplied IEDs and EFPs in both Iraq and Afghanistan that killed many Americans and maimed hundreds more. Iran was responsible for the bombing of the Khobar Towers Air force base in Saudi Arabia, destroyed the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, they were complicit in the attacking of the USS Cole, car-bombed our embassy twice in Beirut killing more than 250 Americans, used drones that killed Americans in Syria and Jordan, and have plotted attacks against a US president. And let us not forget how they captured our US Embassy in Tehran and held 66 Americans hostage for a year and a half, which were all acts of war against the US.Vegas » 02 Apr 2026, 11:36 am » wrote: ↑ Our invasion into Iraq proved to be a huge mistake. They had no WMDs. Therefore, we were the aggressors, and the Iraqis and Iranians were on the defense. Did Iran kill any Americans before our invasion into Iraq while we were in Afghanistan? We had no credible evidence that Iraq had WMDs.
Now, do you really think that Iran would have suddenly turned over a new leaf and stopped their war against the US and killed no more Americans if Trump hadn't stopped them?Search Assist
Iran supplied explosively formed penetrators (EFPs) that killed 196 U.S. troops in Iraq over a five-and-a-half-year period, according to declassified Pentagon documents. Some estimates suggest that at least 500 U.S. military deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan were directly linked to Iran's support for anti-American militants.
