Walk that a few steps back. Clearly the West has meddled in Iran’s internal affairs for centuries, but that doesnt mean the current theocratic regime in Iran is a cuddly bear.
We’re talking about recent history that DIRECTLY impacts Iran right now. The coup, support for the Shah, and then selling arms to both sides during an incredibly bloody and violent war created the current situation today. The US government is directly responsible for that.
And no, it has not been centuries, more like a century, maybe.

I don’t think anybody here is arguing this. The point is Iran is basically zero threat to the US. Iran has its own local problems, and conflicts with neighboring countries. Yet for decades we’ve seen it fit to try to meddle there often failing in spectacular fashion. And for decades war hawks in the US have been drooling at the prospect of going to war there because of their natural resources.

He would start it in a minute if he could make money out of it for himself.
Maybe the Trump Organisation will diversify into military bases which they can lease at favourable rates to the DoD?

Can we give the nuclear football to someone better suited to handle it, like this year’s Miami Dolphins team that has lost their first two regular season games by an average of 46 points?

I am not sure you want so many turnovers with the nuclear football. But at least we know they won’t try to kick it for a field goal.

Mostly illegal, but unsurprisingly, it still happens. Lots.

Maybe the Trump Organisation could rent surpless military capacity from the US, and use it to attack US bases, paid for by Iran?
Its either that or invest in the North African Cotton market.

Whoa whoa whoa, let’s not besmirch the good name of Milo Minderbinder here. M&M Enterprises took great vision and entrepreneurship to become the economic powerhouse it is today. They didn’t just stagger around to every world leader asking if they wanted the first half of the nuclear codes in exchange for purchasing some dry aged steaks(so dry…so aged…got them on a loading dock in N.J ready to go)
The US doesn’t really have any surplus military capacity as such, that’s why they have to increase military spending every year. Stands to reason, doesn’t it? I mean, $989 billion per year will only get you so far, right?
