Avoiding War With Iran

   Today on the New York Times, an editorial was posted called "Avoiding War With Iran". In this editorial, they are addressing how it would be a very bad idea to get into conflict in the Middle East. Specifically, Iran. The audience they are trying to reach out to would be the American citizens because it is our country who could possibly be in danger. They also talk about Trump's different meetings and actions that he has done.They state how Trump and his top aids are raising tension which could possibly lead to problems with Iran that we would much rather stay out of. The author's then go to give reasons on why we should be concerned. We should be concerned because Anti-Iran people outside of the government are trying to push Trump and Congress to have a confrontation with Iran, Trump accepts the side of Sunni-led Saudi Arabia in a feud between two places in Islam, Congress is now taking sections or that Trump got on a pledge to mess up the 2015 seven-nation nuclear pact which involves Iran. The author of this piece said, "Mr. Trump would make a grave mistake if instead of trying to work with those moderate forces he led the nation closer to war." They are saying it is better for us to not pick a war with Iran because it would just be another crazy war. Many citizens are thinking that Trump's acts are not looking good at all for the country.
