๐น 1. Preventing Threats to U.S. Forces
Iran-backed groups (like Hezbollah or other militias) often target U.S. bases in Iraq, Syria, or the Gulf. The U.S. strikes Iran to prevent or respond to such attacks.
๐น 2. Stopping Nuclear Program
Iran is suspected of trying to build nuclear weapons. The U.S. wants to prevent this, so it may attack nuclear-related sites to delay or stop progress.
๐น 3. Supporting Allies (e.g., Israel, Saudi Arabia)
Iran supports groups like Hamas or Houthis. The U.S. may strike to defend Israel or Saudi Arabia, especially after missile or drone attacks.
๐น 4. Show of Power
Strikes are sometimes a message to Iran and other enemies: “Don’t mess with us.” It's about military and political strength.
