He tried, but failed to get his war with Iran during his last term.

Huh? Any time a US President wants a war with Iran it'll happen. What democrat Presidents (and one notable Republican) don't understand is that Iran doesn't have the firepower to go head to head with the US.

Reagan sank a huge chunk of their Navy in one day and Trump vaporized the brains of their terror outfit. Iran didn't do jack squat. They're a classic mouse that roars - happy to have their proxies raise hell but when they tug on Superman's cape once too often they meekly take it. Witness their response after the Israelis zeroed out their air defense last year - few drones launched that they knew would get intercepted.

BTW, that last bit looms large now. You think our B-2's would have any kind of problem with Iran's air defense's? Nah. Neither do the mullahs.

Obama drew lines that no one respected and due to his latent anti-Semitism put Iran into a position to be a power broker. Biden tried to do the same.
