J.D. Tuccille: Trump has a case for war. He should have made it to Congress

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is now the former supreme leader of Iran and the world is a better place for his absence. Dozens of other figures in Iran’s murderous Islamist regime join him in improving the planetary climate by their removal as the result of a joint American-Israeli attack on Iran. But U.S. lawmakers and the public learned about the conflict after the decision to launch strikes had been made by the Trump administration.

Trump’s Iran attack is also aimed at China: Full Comment podcast

Tehran’s nuclear-weapons race was a risk the United States, Israel and others couldn’t tolerate, and its terrorism and brutality have only worsened. Its development of weapons that could reach Europe is a growing, grave threat. But as more than one of this episode’s guests say, the war with Iran involves other states, too — including China, which faces losing another supplier of the cheap oil that has been powering its own ambitions. It’s also a message from U.S. President Donald Trump to Beijing that America won’t ignore adversarial aggression. Brian Lilley speaks with John Bolton, former presidential security advisor; Rick Hillier, Canada’s former chief of the defence staff; former U.S. intelligence officer Jonathan Panikoff; Eylon Levy, former Israeli government spokesman; Vivian Bercovici, former ambassador to Israel; and Postmedia’s Adam Zivo, reporting from Tel Aviv. (Recorded Feb. 27–Mar. 1, 2026.) Read More
