That history will not be repeated in 2019. Trump won't have support of Congress if he acts vs Iran. He won't have trust of public. If he scores instant, cost-free success - lack of support / trust won't matter. But if he runs into trouble, lack of support/trust will matter — PolitiTweet.org

After Iran fired on shipping in Gulf in 1987, the Reagan administration reflagged tankers as US merchant vessels and sent warships to escort tankers. When Iran fired, the warships fired back. Congress then Democratic majority, but it backed the Reagan administration's actions — PolitiTweet.org
