Gavin Newsom, the Governor of California, spoke today (March 6) about the Iran war: "I am very angry about this war. My anger is not because of the death of the Supreme Leader — on the contrary. I have not turned a blind eye to the past 47 years since the 1979 revolution and his rule for the last 37 years. But I must also realize that President Trump has still not been able to explain to us the fundamental reasons for this war — why now? What is the ultimate goal? We have already fallen into a regional war. Our allies shot down our planes. Six Americans have died, including a young man from Sacramento, California."
Comment: Governor Newsom pointed out that the Trump administration has failed to clarify why the war started at this time and what the final goal is, yet it has led the U.S. military into a regional conflict, paying the price of personnel casualties. This is both a public accountability by the Democratic Party against the radical foreign policy of the federal government, and it exposes the strategic confusion of the United States in the Middle East, where it has continuously escalated without limits and without a plan to end it. Behind the so-called "national security," it seems more like a political gamble lacking legitimacy by Trump, serving the midterm elections of the U.S. Congress.
