Victor Davis Hanson, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, said on Fox News on Tuesday that President Joe Biden appears to be “leading” Americans into war, and told President Biden that former President Donald Trump's foreign policy advised them to return a portion of the
Hanson appeared on “Hannity” to discuss recent tensions between the United States and Iran following the incident. kill Three military personnel killed in Jordanian drone attack. Fox host Sean Hannity asked the senior fellow for his thoughts on the threat the United States poses to the Middle Eastern country, emphasizing how it could attack at any time.

Hanson said there are “three typical actions” the U.S. government typically takes in response to an attack, and while those are “good things,” the real issue is “deterrence.” emphasized. Reflecting on President Trump's killing of Iranian military general Qasem Soleimani, the senior researcher said that President Trump's actions greatly helped avoid any point of war with Iran.
“Yes, it's possible. That's why Iran knows it. Generally speaking in history, if we have the perception that we will do anything for peace, then war is guaranteed. Our response is scripted. We say three things: First, we say we're going to play the time and play of our choosing, and they're tired of it. Two, we say it's Iran, which is providing these surrogate mothers, but we don't have any direct evidence. And third, we want to avoid war. '' Hanson said.
“That's all good and well. But the message they got from that is that there's a magic number that we haven't reached yet,” Hanson continued. “Six American dead, or eight dead and 50 wounded, and they keep increasing that number to find somewhere they have to retreat for a while. But the problem, Sean, is that deterrence is very difficult to achieve and easy to throw away. When they arrived, Donald Trump killed Soleimani. He captured the terrorists, the Houthis, and imposed sanctions on them. He cut off Hamas. He didn't want to be part of the deal with Iran, so he refused. He imposed sanctions on oil. He made the Abrams Accord – he had no sunset between us and Israel. ”
Hanson went on to say that Biden is “leading” the US into a “theatre-scale war” by losing “deterrence” with Middle Eastern countries, and that Iran will not stop “until it has to.” He pointed out that there was no.(Related: China pinky promised Biden not to interfere in 2024 election)
“And when we took out Soleimani, there was no need to bomb Iran, because they understood they were in deep danger. But once you lose deterrence, you end up with a war. We will find ourselves in a situation where we have no choice, and we don't want that. But ironically and paradoxically, Biden is leading us there. The more they say they want to stop the war, the more they appease those who think they can get some magic number, the more they are going to lead to a theater-wide war. They will continue until they are stopped…if If he doesn't rejoin Trump's protocols and sanctions and terrorist list, we're going to go to war,” Hanson said.
Tensions between Iran and the US escalated on Monday with rumors that the Biden administration was preparing retaliatory attacks on the country of Middle Eats following the tragic killing of three military personnel. Biden officials did not carry out any attacks, but Iranian-linked militants who have carried out attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria have since suspended operations.
