Letter: Iran isn’t the threat to U.S. in Middle East

First the U.S. unilaterally pulls out of the Iran nuclear deal, and now chicken hawks President Donald Trump and National Security Advisor John Bolton send warships to harass Iran into a fight that they and most of the world reject, except for Turkey, Israel and Saudi Arabia.

Why does the U.S. always need some type of bogeyman nation to harass? It doesn’t seem like Iran is much of a threat to America, but it is a political-power check on Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Israel. And don’t forget where ISIS and the 9/11 bombers came from — it wasn’t Iran.
