Trump vies for Bush’s crown for worst foreign policy decision in history

AI Summary
In a video released on Truth Social at 2:30 AM on Saturday from Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump announced a shift in US foreign policy regarding Iran. The announcement, delivered without prior consultation with Congress or the UN, involved military action justified by Trump as a response to Iran's history of hostile actions against the US and its allies. Trump described the Iranian regime as dangerous and cited past events like the hostage crisis and attacks on US assets. The article suggests this decision could rival George W. Bush's invasion of Iraq as a significant foreign policy misstep. The timing and rationale for the action were questioned, with the article noting the lack of a clear explanation for the immediate need for military intervention.
