The Spin

Threatening to annihilate a UNU.N. member state from the General Assembly rostrum is thea real violation of the Charter, and Washington knows it.

Playing the victim at the UNU.N. podium takes some nerve from the world's leading funder of terror. Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis and Iraqi militias all run on Tehran's money, and thousands of Iranians were killed for daring to protest this past winter. A regime that spreads terror abroad and murders its own people at home has no standing to lecture anyone about morality.


Metaculus Prediction

There is a 1% chance that, if there is an American AUMF or declaration of war against Iran before 2030, the U.S. will control Tehran within one year, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
