History’s Pro Tips on Iran

 

FRANCIS X. MAIER

Are the military actions the U.S. and Israel have taken against Iran just? Fran Maier lays out his case for the affirmative, first by going over all the ways that the Iranian government is not a good faith actor. He writes, “A reasonable peace assuring mutual security has never been, and is not even now, on Tehran’s agenda.”

For further reading: Just war theory is more difficult to apply in this age of drone strikes an proxy wars, but that does not make it irrelevant. During the tensions with Iran last summer, Richard Cassleman argued that just war still applies today (“Is Just War Theory Still Relevant?” 2025).
