Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The declaration of war against Iran introduces significant geopolitical risk into international relations. Trump used the UN platform to defend U.S. actions, stating that the U.S. was using its power to confront longstanding challenges. The events are occurring against a backdrop of low approval ratings for the President.
