  • This is what President Trump had to say about why the United States is at war with Iran.

  • We sought repeatedly to make a deal.

  • We tried.

  • They wanted to do it.

  • They didn't want to do it.

  • Again, they wanted to do it.

  • They didn't want to do it.

  • They didn't know what was happening.

  • Not the best explanation for a war of choice, sir.

  • I'm personally a do-my-own-research kind of guy, but let's ask AI why we're at war with Iran.

  • Chat?

  • The United States attacked Iran in 2026 because it claimed Iran posed an imminent threat,

  • particularly due to Iran's advancing nuclear program and missile capabilities,

  • and aimed to reduce Iran's ability to project power in the region.

  • Wow, that was a better explanation.

  • Thanks, chat.

  • Fitting that AI was more clear than the President of the United States,

  • because it turns out the United States is using AI to fight the war in Iran.

  • The future of war is AI, and that future is now here.

  • I'm Sean, Bacchus forum, and that's coming up on Today Explained from Vox.
