Pirates, not terrorists
And that’s hardly justification for this war.

Terrorists are worse than pirates especially with ICBMs & Nukes and a belief in a a mythical deity.
And the threat today was far more imminent that it was in the early 19th century.
It's time to send a message to Islamists everywhere that Allah does not want them slaughtering infidels.
No terrorists have ICBMs or nukes except in your uninformed imagination

Here's what chat gtp says
Several intelligence and U.N. assessments say Iran has amassed highly enriched uranium close to weapons‑grade and could reach bomb‑capable material very fast if it chose to:
As of mid‑2025, Iran held ~972 pounds of uranium enriched to 60%, very near weapons‑grade levels. [cbsnews.com]
The U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency estimated Iran could produce enough weapons‑grade uranium in less than one week if it made the decision. [cbsnews.com]
Building an actual explosive device would take months, according to other intelligence summaries.
Oh! And they have already launched a missile over 1200 miles.
But I'm sure that chanting "death to America and Israel" is just rhetoric.
North Korea?

He is drawing a fine line between IRBM's & ICBM'S ...
Although, I'm not sure that distinction would be important for residents of, say, the UK, who are within range of Iran's IRBMs, and could get hit by nuclear capable IRBMs. But, that distinction is very important to political science professors safely outside that range who want to downplay the risk of getting hit by an IRBM-carried nuke, and who want to sound like they know a lot.
Apparently he also wants to draw a fine line between, say, Iran which prompted and funded Oct. 7, and the marine barracks in Lebenon, etc. ... versu the people who carried out those attacks. In his mind, Iranians are not terrorists, even though they fund and organize terror attacks. In his mind, the above posts are 100% wrong because they collapsed those artificial distinctions, and treated cooperating enemies as the same... even though those posts make good points, they contain technical errors which mislead no one. But, this way, he can pretend to respond without actually responding.
I wonder if he draws similar lines between Wagner and Russia. I'm guessing not.
China controls NK and isn't about to let it ruin it's grand 'Belt and Road' plans.

Not terrorists. Rogue state. Big difference.
