Why is TACO attacking Iran now?
While I disagree with most of what the current POTUS does, I think this was the right move for a few reasons.
The US has been poking on Iran a little over the past few years, and every time Iran's response has been lame. It is unlikely that Iran will be able to retaliate with any impact.

Russia has been using Iranian drones to attack Ukraine. This pushes Iran into rebuilding their own military rather than supporting Russia.

Iran has been supporting their proxy war using Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis and all are significantly weakened now. This reduces Iran's ability to resupply these organizations.

While I generally agree both the US and Israel have been bad actors in the middle east, this may be the least worst option for moving forward.
