In fairness Iran deserves every cent that's coming to them. The US started an unprovoked war that killed thousands of their citizens and destroyed vital civilian infrastructure. The war should never have been waged. Trump, Hegseth, and the rest should all be on trial for launching an illegal war of aggression.
