US President Donald Trump declared war against Iran without warning Congress or the public, instead releasing a 8-minute video on his social media platform. He cited concerns about Iranian proxy groups and Tehran’s alleged role in terrorism, but failed to explain why now or how this move will prevent forever wars. The president has promised to “take over” the government of Iran after the conflict, sparking criticism from experts who warn that Trump is embarking on a catastrophic gamble with the country’s stability and future.
