It’s not Iran. The only reason Iran has ever been called a “sponsor of state terrorism” is because of Hezbollah. Hezbollah itself of course is not a terrorist group. What it’s military arm is, however, is the only thing preventing another Israeli invasion and occupation of Lebanon. Follow the lies and they inevitably come back to the real leading state sponsor of terrorism (besides Saudi Arabia), the parasite known as Israel.
As for Trump, when it comes to foreign policy I don’t think he knows his ass from his elbow. He has surrounded himself with Israeli apologists and warmongers because the GoP has no others. Neither do the Dems.

According to White House officials, the operation was called off, not because it would likely have been an act of war, but because word of the operation leaked.
