Hello, everybody, and thank you for tuning in to the weekly report.

Will he or won't he?

For the past month, Americans have been wondering whether President Trump will attack Iran or

whether the massive military buildup in the Middle East is just another bluff.

President Trump claims that the decision is his alone to make.

Thus far, President Trump has made little effort to explain to the American people or to Congress

why launching a war against Iran is in our national interests.

Instead, he wanders from one reason to another, hoping something will stick.

First, it was a nuclear threat,

even though he swore that he had obliterated Iran's nuclear program last summer.

Then, after the CIA, Mossad, and UK's MI6, launched a regime-changed operation in the form of violent protests

in late December. The excuse for war became the Iranian governments crackdown on the

insurrection. But before that could be used as the excuse, the Iranian government was able to squash the uprising.

So President Trump returned to the issue of Iran's nuclear program,

while adding in the presence of Iran's ballistic missile program.

These arguments are unconvincing.

That is why Americans are so skeptical.

In a major poll last month,

7 and 10 Americans said they oppose any U.S. military action against Iran.

When it comes to matters of war where billions of dollars in countless lives are at stake,

will he or won't he is a terrible question to ask.
