I can’t believe it, CBS News is reporting the unfiltered truth about Iran
“If you're looking for an origin point of this current war, don't look to the earliest hours of this Saturday. Look back to November 4th, 1979. That was the day Iranian revolutionaries stormed the U.S embassy in Tehran, capturing 52 Americans and parading them in blindfolds for the whole world to see
A new and daring element was disclosed today in the Iran crisis.
For the next 444 days, they were held captive. The tally kept nightly by Walter Cronkite. Finally, the hostages were released, but that wasn't the end of the story. In 1983, 241 U.S service members were killed in their barracks by an Iran-backed suicide bomber in Beirut.
Americans can argue whether this is a war of necessity, but what's clear from the history is that the fuse of this explosion is 50 years long and has included the loss of thousands of American and Iranian lives. Every president since Jimmy Carter has tried to end this conflict.
In 2015, president Barack Obama announced a deal to stall Iran's nuclear ambitions, a deal that President Trump replaced with a campaign of maximum pressure, and now military might.
Today the United States military continues to carry out large-scale combat operations in Iran to eliminate the grave threats posed to America by this terrible terrorist regime.
That history is why the president's allies in Congress say he hasn't started a war with Iran. He's finishing one.”
