Is the U.S. About to Go to War With Iran?
4th April 2025
In my line of work, I get asked a lot of questions. Sometimes they are on pretty heavy topics and other times they are on things that are downright bizarre. More often than not, they are driven by the news cycle. Over the last week, the one question I am suddenly getting all the time is if the United States is really preparing to go to war with Iran, and if so, why now?
This type of inquiry isn’t uncommon during times of great international tension, but this one is different. The situation seems more nebulous, and the idea that a U.S. attack on Iran could soon occur feels out of the blue for many, especially set amongst the ‘ludicrous speed’ news cycle that has been a hallmark of the first and now second Trump administrations.
Adding to people’s confusion is that there has not been one singular event to prompt the buildup to a potentially unprecedented and extremely volatile military action. This makes it harder for the public to wrap their heads around the possibility that this could really happen, and soon.
Trump, like much of the American people, is tired of Iran being the itch that nobody has the courage to scratch. He’s going to get out the hydrocortisone and take care of it once and for all.
