I doubt Americans elected Trump to start another war in the Middle East region and fire up new terrorist attacks etc.

My guess is that Trump was elected mainly because of the immigration crisis, too much wokeness in the USA and bad economic situation. These are basically his only mandates.

Trump ran on a platform of "no more wars."

Now, not even 6 months into his term, he starts a war...and his supporters are suddenly okay with a new war in the MIddle East. In a matter of hours, the narrative has flipped to "it had to be done"

There it is....the real enemies of the US are from within. Tell us how you really feel about your fellow Americans.
Just watch how those I described act and have been acting and my words will be vindicated. Do you forget all of the liberal claims of Trump being a threat to democracy? Oh yea and the personal attacks on those who support Trump.

It is quite sad. Also, his inability to make any deals. Virtually zero deals so far from the "deals man".

Just angry rants on his profile against all his opponents, media, Fed chairman, Biden...
Trump offered many deals to the Evil Iranian regime they refused. Here we are. A strong president took strong action. The war was already started and not by Trump.

Iran’s anti-West protests exploded again on Friday as thousands of demonstrators set US and Israeli flags ablaze in Tehran, chanting “Death to America” and “Death to Israel.”
The massive outpouring followed Friday prayers, with crowds lining Tehran’s streets, brandishing Hezbollah flags and portraits of slain commanders hit in recent Israeli missile strikes. One banner read, “I will sacrifice my life for my leader,” reflecting the fervor uniting the demonstrators behind Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

I hope this left no doubt as to Iran's intentions toward America.
At least they believe in something. Alongside their ally Russia, standing strong against the wests social decadence!

Iran had their 60 days, they did not choose wisely. Trump's poll numbers are up, and once again he took the right course.
Wars always drive up polls. It’s a great way for a failing president to distract at least some of their fans from their domestic disasters.

If Iran wants to hit those that are causing this (Israel, Netanyahu, and Trump) their response should include:

Sabre rattling against the US, Trump, Israel.
Closing the Gulf to oil exports (oil prices up more, bad for Trump polling)
Don't attack US troops in the region.
Attack Israel as they have since Israel started this war.
Demonstrate that strike wasn't as successful as Trump has already claimed.

Americans were not generally for joining this war, killing Americans would change that.

Right, it was started by Israel. Trump just follows his masters and does as he’s told. Never mind he ran specifically on a platform of no new wars and avoiding WWIII. Netenyahu had other plans.

Anyone else remember before the election when the claim from Trumps supporters was he would not start any more wars?

<Looks to see how many supporters are decrying his current actions>

Not accurate. No president could ever promise there would never be a need for military force. Trump did not promise that.

Jan. 20, 2025, Trump told Americans:"We will measure our success not only by the battles we win but also by the wars that we end - and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into."

The promise was no new wars. We are now in a new war we weren’t involved in last week, or ever before. That is a failed promise.

If you took that as a blanket we will never use military force for any reason that is your misunderstanding. Protecting this nation from all threats is the job of the President. Finally a strong president who will actually do his job and not lay on the beach while God knows who would run the country for him.

I'm sorry, are you seriously trying to claim Iran was a credible threat to the United States and that the President gets to declare war without congressional approval?

I really don't think we are in a war , but if it comes to that it will be a short one. You said no new wars right! Iran has considered themselves to be at war with us since 1979, killing Americans through proxies and funding since that time. I guess you would be ok with an evil Islamic regime having a nuke. Even the liberal hero Obama took necessary military action. All of this liberal complaint is not ground in reason but is a manifestation of Trump hatred.

Open your ears and eyes. Iran was working on a nuke and the means to deliver it even as far as our east coast. Do you really believe the Evil Islamic death to America cult would not use one once attained?

Nuclear weapons are useless. They can't be used. They are the dumbest investment a nation can make in its own defense.
Maybe, but no nation with nukes has ever been seriously attacked. They are a good deterrent so far though admittedly a very high stakes game.
