Donald Trump's recent air strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites challenge the longstanding notion of U.S. presidents acting as doves towards Iran. Historically, all presidents, including Trump, have avoided direct attacks despite Iran's aggressive actions. This shift raises questions about previous U.S. policies that allowed Iran to establish armed proxies regionally and globally, while also arguing that past restraint may have enabled Iran's nuclear advancement. Critics argue that the strikes may not effectively dismantle Iran's program, potentially leading to even more covert developments in the future.
With the air strikes on Iran's nuclear sites, Trump highlighted the misconception that U.S. presidents have been 'doves' on Iran, revealing their consistent restraint.
By attacking Iran's nuclear program, the U.S. shifts from a long-standing dovish policy, an action previously unseen in face of Iranian hostilities.
