The Gist
America should attack Iran because Iran has been threatening to destroy America for decades and will soon have nuclear weapons to do it. Just like we should have stopped Nazi Germany earlier, we need to stop Iran before it gets too powerful.
Conclusion
The Trump administration's Operation Epic Fury against Iran is justified and necessary for American security
Premises
- Iran has been waging war on America for 47 years since the regime came to power, vowing to destroy the United States
- Like Nazi Germany in the 1930s, Iran left unchecked will soon pose an imminent threat to America with nuclear weapons and long-range missiles
- Iran's organizing principle is regional and global domination, making it more dangerous than North Korea which only seeks regime survival
- Sustained bombing campaigns can degrade governments and facilitate popular uprisings, as demonstrated successfully in Serbia in 1999
- The war will strengthen rather than deplete American arsenals by speeding up munitions production and will deter rather than encourage Russia and China
- Iran has been the primary source of Middle East violence for half a century, so neutralizing it will create opportunities for regional peace
- Under international law, the relative strength of warring parties is irrelevant to the legality of military action
Assumptions
- Military action can successfully create conditions for Iranian people to reclaim liberty
- Iran's nuclear and missile capabilities will inevitably be used against America if left unchecked
- Historical analogies (Nazi Germany, Serbia) accurately predict outcomes in Iran
- American military action will be perceived as strength rather than aggression by other powers
- Regional stability will improve rather than deteriorate after Iranian regime change
