This is a crazy rationalization. The family of American leadership are not fair game. One however could make a case that Trump, Vance and Rubio are fair game for the Iranians. Stating that "civilian" family members can be fairly targeted themselves is bizarre.
The U.S. targeted Iranians who were in leadership. It probably wasn't the greatest strategic decision, but it was in the midst of a conflict that heated up in 2025.
By the way, memories are short. The Biden Administration stated they had foiled Iranian attempts to kill Donald Trump during the 2024 campaign.
PS- I wasn't surprised someone on TERB would be making this Barron Trump rationalization. I guess I'm also not surprised it was you.
You do realize that the US strikes killed many members of the Iranian leaderships families.
As for Barron, I was asking if he was fair game, considering the bullshit Trump has done. But, keep in mind the power dynamic between the US and Iran. It's similar to US v Vietnam. They need to strike asymmetrically. They cannot take on the US head on at this point, so they need to strike back in different ways. If the Iranian families are "collateral damage," why couldn't Barron, Don Jr. or Eric be the same?
Stop clutching your pearls. The US has lost moral authority to complain about assassination attempts or what not. How many politicians has the US had murdered or overthrown? They just don't like the idea that it could happen to them.
