Honest, open question

Is it REALLY in the USA’s best interests to start/fight/end a war with Iran.

The elephant in this particular room is that it seems to be in the interests of a different country, allied to America, in the region to have Iran obliterated.

Despite the threats of the Iranian regime does anyone really think they pose a threat to mainland USA?

Let’s just hope that, if Donald and his little friend, do manage to get rid of the Ayatollah, they don’t just start a slide towards total anarchy and destabilisation in the wider region.

Would it all feel worthwhile if the USS Abraham Lincoln and its 6,000+ crew end up at the bottom of the Persian Gulf?
