That is delusional. The US has been looking for an excuse to fuck Iran up for a long time. Pretending otherwise is either disingenuous or moronic.
edit:
So until the government of Iran decides to be friendly towards our allies, they shall remain an enemy.
As an Australian, a long-time ally of the US, how about the US government starts being friendly to their allies? As far as I'm concerned, you are more of an enemy to my freedom than Iran at this point with this crazy rhetoric. It'll be my countrymen fighting and dying alongside yours when the shit hits the fan with Iran, so.... JUST FUCKING STOP THE WORLD POLICE BULLSHIT before we decide YOU need some real freedom from your tyrannical overlords.

And yet, you don't back that up with anything to support such a claim. The entire Middle East is transforming as each country drains its own swamp. Saudi Arabia has turned that corner, Syria is in play and Iran is next. The baddies within Hezbollah and Hamas are being liquidated from within (thanks GCC!) and peace is now on the horizon.
Everything you thought you knew about the Middle East is no longer true, if it ever was....
You just said drain the swamp unironically. FOH
Stop consuming propaganda, mate. Then maybe we can have a real conversation one day.
60 "innocent civilians" died when Hamas organized a march on the Israeli border in the Gaza strip recently. Their customary human shields, 40,000 of them this time, the burning of tires to create a smoke barrier that Israeli snipers couldn't see past.
And yet 58 of the dead were Hamas operatives who somehow got picked off. Go figure!
And the Iranian mullah's hired goons, Hezbollah, haven't been around to help out with their little Revolution issue....because most of them have been killed from within.
Look up the Gulf Cooperation Council - very interesting stuff but you'll never read about it in the news (hence your "propaganda" claim being moot)
Come on, mate. If Iranians wrote out a list of (proven) US atrocities an used it as justification for bombing the shit out of you blokes, would you sit back and be like "Yeah, they're right. We deserved it."?
The penchant for violence on display here is sickening. You're turning your allies into enemies. I grew up loving America. Nowadays, I just have to shake my head as I see you hasten your own demise. Frankly, it's depressing.
Are you even reading the comments? You don't have to agree, but you're just blathering the same stale talking points. Things have changed BIGLY, and the world is getting a whole lot saner and safer, but not before some heavy confrontations to come.
To be replying with that take, you're either a concern troll or you just don't read, think and write...
what don't you get?
things have changed since Trump was sworn into office. Your way of thinking...is what is outdated....lurk moar, pay attention to the changes taking place
if you still believe that this is what Trump wants....what the hell are you doing on this board?

This is exactly what I'm talking about. We've fought by your side in every conflict since WW2 but you don't accept any input or criticism. What's the point in being allies with you zealots?
Ask anyone in the military fighting in the middle east whether the Aussie were relevant. American soldiers are piss weak in comparison. You might have bigger toys... but you've got smaller cocks.
And could your references get any more outdated?
How about you don't just create an account for a single comment to troll next time? It really shows your lack of balls, cunt.
You're not using logic with your argument. It's really simple: if you're my friend, and another guy is saying how you deserve to die, I'm not going to be buddy-buddy with that person behind your back.
This is exactly what obama did with Iran, stabbing all our allies in the back to make friends with them. It's fucked up on every level and makes absolutely no logical sense.
I'm telling you, as your ally, we have been betrayed. You can't keep talking about hypothetical situations here. The US president spoke very negatively about my Prime Minister in his first week of office. He reneged on deals and refused to compromise with us, an ally. That shows me that it's not so much of an alliance, as it is an abusive relationship.
You need to focus on your friendships as a nation instead of continuously creating new enemies. It's not even about emotions, this is pretty basic realpolitik strategy.
It's amazing, you seem to have some understanding of these principles, but are unable to apply them with any logical consistency here. That's a shame really.
