Iran is the central domino in the cascade of proxy assaults against Western interests in the Middle East and perhaps farther afield. Former Presidents Obama and Biden provided cover because they feared involving America in another large-scale military effort. Both men maintained that they were trying to negotiate a nuclear deal when credible evidence — especially in Mr. Biden’s case — showed Iran was just toying with us.

Will President Trump, the man who wants to end wars in Gaza and Ukraine, initiate a war with the initiator?
