3. We were bombed - so now we are ivolved.
My understanding is that the USA was bounced into the war by Israel who, legitimately, attacked Iran. The USA rightly feared (because Iran so threatened) that their bases and assets would be legitimate target for Iran. So the USA legitimately attacked Iran.
Simples, really.

The president doesn't declare war, Congress does, so it is in fact illegitimate unless whatever this is its not a war, guess he could try calling it a special military operation, it worked for putin did in Ukraine
