Trump gave an excellent speech. A few key points
1. American military and economic strength is a deterrent. We don't want to use the military, but having a strong one helps us keep the peace.
2. The U.S. is energy independent and Europe needs to step up their efforts to keep Iran in check. They need Iranian oil; we don't.
3. The (incredibly stupid worst foreign policy action in history) Iran Nuclear deal basically means that the Obama gave Iran the cash to escalate terrorism. We were perfectly justified in killing Soleimani, who orchestrated much of their terrorism.
I'll also note that Iran sells over $1B of illegal drugs each year through our southern border. This provides more funding for terrorism - and is another reason to protect the border (along with keeping their terrorist agents out).
