A top official from the Biden administration has said that he is supportive of President Donald Trump’s attack on Iran from June of last year and suggested that Joe Biden may have done the same if he had been elected to a second term in office. Amos Hochstein, senior energy adviser to Biden within the State Department, said that the Biden administration had modeled similar scenarios to last…

No Biden would not. He would have listened to military end strategic experts and only attacked Iran if/when there was a good plan in place regarding the straight. The Biden admin might have been just as aggressive, but not so idiotic.
so you support a war of aggression on Iran if harm is minimal for the united state?
A strategic approach to minimize the chance of nuclear proliferation by a bunch of religious nuts would be potentially the right thing to do. I don’t know as I don’t know the details.
The religious nuts who have nukes are American and Israelis. There is no evidence that Iran was intending to build nukes
The Americans certainly are religious nuts with nukes now under trump. I don’t think they were nuts under Biden. Not that they weren’t evil in many ways, but not religious nuts.
Iran had facilities buried in bunkers specifically for purifying uranium to build nuclear weapons. I don’t see how that can be interpreted in any way that they weren’t trying to build nukes. They could have got uranium for power from other places.The usa and israeli inteligences would knew about it during Obama and Biden. You are simply repeating netenyahu and trump bullshit.
Pakistan is ruled by religious nuts to they are not launching nukes.
What bullshit am I repeating? Of course everyone has known Iran was working on nukes for a long time. Isreal has bombed their facilities before. Obama and the EU has made deals to slow them down.
The difference here is that trump is a moron and blew up the Iran deal and then allowed Isreal to persuade him to attack. It probably has slowed down Iran’s ability to build a bomb, but it will certainly increase their motivation. And it’s fucked up the world economy (although a silver lining there will be even more of a push for renewables going forward).Every knows that Iran was not building nukes
And if the reporter had watched just one more minute of the video, she would have learned this too. He said that Biden might have bombed the nuclear facility. In the next minute, he said that Biden wouldn’t have done the things after, including the war.

“But we – he said, we obliterated their nuclear program. The question then is not about what he did in June. This war we were in now did not attack the nuclear facilities again. This was not about the nuclear.”

The us has been arming far far more, including everyone’s favourite. Why the double standard?
What double standard?
The double standard where someone would say ‘America bad for arming other nations but it’s ok for Iran to do it’?
The USA is the country who destroyed the biggest democracies in the world . The USA is the country who bombed the biggest numbers of countries.
Iran was sent to Russian arm because of the USA and Europe starving it’s people with sanctions
