The Spin

Iran has every right to attack the U.S. military, which has not only participated in the recent bombing of Iran but also in the Palestinian genocide. After decades of manufacturing consent by smearing Iran as an enemy on the verge of a nuclear bomb, the U.S. has finally gone too far. The world no longer sees America and Israel as good guys, and will applaud this act of self-defense.

The U.S. attack on Iran was neither offensive nor unjustified; it was in direct response to the clear evidence showing Iran's intent to build a nuclear bomb soon. Nor was the U.S. attack on a nuclear facility at all an attempt at regime change. Despite the fact that America doesn't want war with Iran, only a nuclear-free Iran, the Islamic Republic's leadership appears willing to continue its attacks on the West.

Metaculus Prediction

There is a 33% chance that Ali Khamenei will cease to be the supreme leader of Iran in 2025, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
