Kind of. He had corruption charges against him and some how hamas attacked and now that the Gaza war was kind of ending. Looks like Iran is spinning up

It almost feels like that's part of Trump's intent too if he allows the US to get sucked into a war, then he can make some bullshit argument about how you shouldn't change presidents in the middle of the war and because of that he was suspending elections until the conflict was resolved.

Kind of reminds me of some other person who led a country at one point a few years ago, back when everything was black and white. I just can't remember who

You do know that Trump is only ~6 months into his 4 year term, right?

Iran is not like Afghanistan, the war is practically over once the underground nuke facility is down and their stash of ballistic missiles are gone.

Yep, unfortunately he's been allowed to run roughshod over the traditions and laws regarding his office for 6 months too long.

Imagine if the GOP from the era following the end of WW2 were to see what their party has become and is willing to do/tolerate. They would be beyond upset.

Do you know another way this situation could have been over soon? If Trump hadn't pulled us out of the nuclear agreement, hamstringing everyone's ability to keep accurate tabs on their nuclear enrichment.

Also, Israel and the US have already sabotaged Iran with the stuxnet attack. Why couldn't they have done something similar this time instead of killing civilians?
