All eyes are on Tehran. An Iranian war has long been teased and threatened by both the leadership structure within Iran and multiple leaders in the US and Israel. For tactical reasons, these tensions have always ended in begrudgingly peaceful deals. On Feb. 28, 2026, Donald Trump decided it was time to finally try out war, and former ally Marjorie Taylor Greene has subsequently stated that she is so stunned she is concerned about Trump’s “mental state.”
Trump has broken many promises, but the one about war has seemingly stung his base the most. And a war with Iran, no less, is bar none the most complex one he could possibly choose to engage in. There are many opinion pieces with very few facts about what is actually happening on the ground and why so many world leaders are concerned about this war.
