"I can’t prove it came from Iran, but we are a few miles from the border. How else did it get here?"

However, one analyst said that Tehran operated through proxies. “An Iranian standing over an American with a smoking gun is never going to happen. It’s plausible deniability.”

Further south, British forces say that while no direct involvement by Iranian operatives has been uncovered, three containers of explosives were seized near the Iranian border. “I can’t prove it came from Iran,” he said, “but we are a few miles from the border. How else did it get here?”

5. Firstly, a bomb coming from Iran isn't the same...
...as coming from the Iranian government.

Secondly, if the Iranian government is sending bombs to Iran, it doesn't mean that starting a war with Iran will lead to an improved situation.

Stop Iran War: Ask your Congressperson to cosponsor.

6. Exactly.
It's called strategy, and I don't think anyone is smart enough in our government to create a working strategy.
