“Targets included missile launch sites and Iranian boats attempting to emplace mines. U.S. Central Command continues to defend our forces while using restraint during the ongoing ceasefire.”
The strikes come just hours after Trump said negotiations with Iran were “proceeding nicely.”
Didn’t Japan do the same thing with the US as they were bombing Pearl Harbor?
Not exactly. Roosevelt scheduled talks with Japan, and then had the diplomats to Japan skip the meetings. He did this multiple times. IIRC that was either the 12th or 13th meeting that the US delegation didn’t attend. At that point Japan decided that the US wasn’t actually interested in peace talks and attacked.
So in that case, as an American, I am inclined to believe that Japan was genuinely interested in the peace talks. We weren’t, or more specifically our president wasn’t interested in peace talks.
Wilson also didn’t help matters by setting the stage for WWII.
The US wasn’t even in the war until pearl harbour
Exactly. And there were peace negotiations taking place between the two nations in the hours before the attack.
