Repeated retaliatory strikes against Iran-backed militias throughout the Middle East is extremely dangerous, a strategy completely at odds with the goal of containing the War in Gaza and keeping it from spreading. 1/3

Why is the US doing this? 85 raids with more on the way is way more than a proportional response to the deaths of three soldiers in a drone attack. 2/3

The last thing we should be doing at a time such as this is pouring gasoline over already existing fires. If the U.S. truly doesn’t want to provoke Iran, we have a weird way of showing it. It is incomprehensible that at this particular moment we would be taunting Iran and risking so much. 3/3

What would have been your strategy? The lost US lives, countless injuries & constant aggression. As a voter I'd ❤️ to know how you might approach & how you might think about handling. Understanding how a candidate thinks is helpful.

We cannot bomb our way out of every problem, and the Middle East is more of a powder keg at this moment that it has been in a very long time. Provoking Iran is a significantly higher level of risk than any of our other Mid East ventures. We should ask why we have forces in all of those countries to begin with….! No one should think this is only in retaliation for three American deaths. None of it is protecting our troops; it is endangering our troops. We have so normalized war that I think many people might not realize how significant a danger this is.

What strikes me hard, is the emotion & response to 3 US Reservists Soldiers being killed, versus the citizens being killed in Gaza. One we feel we must retaliate with immense war power, but the other we finance a genocide in Gaza. War re-action will never make sense to me, never, ever. I want a Peace President 🇺🇸 Vote Marianne Williamson 2024. #Marianne2024

Good grief. So you mean, let Iran and its bloodthirsty henchmen have free reign? Oh yeah that’s the path to peace
