Officially, this is Trump protecting US military, and commerce. Notably the same he chose to put at risk. Recent articles show that the Trump family have been big winners in the war. Remarkably the sons companies have “won” contracts to supply to the military.

Interesting that Iran just fired missiles at a Yank base in Jordan. Jordan is quite some distance from Iran and the Persian Gulf. That suggests Yanks have abandoned all those bases they had closer, and Iran has to really reach to find where Trump’s troops are sheltering.
