> If the “goal is to make sure Iran cannot become again the largest state sponsor of terrorism” then you are reasonably expected to have a plan to make that happen. Especially if you are giving up American lives and treasure, killing others, putting allies at risk, to accomplish it

Yes, and by doing something like this, this administration is giving a tremendous amount of fuel to the people of Iran to become terrorists or generally anti-American people.

I can also see the people of North Korea hearing about this situation and how it will be feeding their anti-American government to become even more anti-American. They teach that we are colonialists and conquerors and things like this only feed it.
