The United States should not be engaged in a protracted military conflict in Iran.

“So, on the off chance that you thought maybe, just maybe, Trump would be smart enough to realize the error of his ways by engaging in exactly the kind of war that he swore he'd avoid when polling showed this war was the least popular at its outset in US history. You can just kiss that goodbye”

US military operations against Iran are being conducted in accordance with standard practice and are not war crimes.

“So, I'm just going to point out at this point it is not automatically a war crime to bomb bridges and energy infrastructure. Of course, it isn't. It's happened in pretty much every war.”

Military strikes against drug boats are a more legitimate use of American power than past military engagements in the Middle East.

“the honest truth is that blowing up a drug boat off the coast of the United States of America is a more legitimate use of American military power than anything we have ever done in the Middle East.”

The United States possesses total air superiority over Iran.

“I mean it does establish absolute and total military dominance on it face. I mean I mean to be able to like like we were saying to be able to fly helicopters, you know, they had extensive anti-air assets in Iran and the US eliminated them in like basically entire almost entirely.”
