    They were attacked and Trump is talking about and actually bombing their infrastructure, making the other side’s infrastructure fair game. Iran has had a No First Strike policy meaning they committed to not fighting anyone unless attacked first and Iran had not invaded another country or started a war in over 200 years.

      While you are correct, that doesn’t really answer why people listen more to Trump than Iran, even though Iran has the advantage on this conflict.

        Who said people are listening more to Trump? They’re certainly not taking him seriously despite his yelling to cameras and posting in caps.

        And Iran DID agree to stop for a ceasefire. Remember they were the ones first attacked and demanded the US stop bombing them in order to discuss peace despite the Trump bragging that peace talks were a ruse to get soldiers in place.
