Avi Lewis (@avilewis@mstdn.ca): Prime Minister Carney says the war in Iran was "worth it". I want to know who he thinks it was worth it for.

For israel
Worth it looking at the PM's words for context:
I think that, you know, the number one risk. I answered this question three years ago or so at Davos. And I was asked what’s the number one risk in the global economy? And I said Iran and it was at a time when people were not focused on Iran because I’ve always believed that it’s the biggest exporter of terror. It was hell-bent, sorry if I can say that on getting a nuclear weapon, uh, and the force multiplier on that. Of course was terrible. And so going and getting to a position where Iran is not going to have a nuclear weapon. Look, I’m not naive about this, the reintegration of Iran. This is a regime that needs to learn to be civilized, needs to behave. That’s why you have performance measures. Lots needs to happen. We all have to support it, but moving to this position where that’s been taken off the table was worth it.
Avi's being soft on him.
Maybe worth it to let the U.S. reduce its influence on the world. And maybe for showing enough Americans that Trump and co are actually incompetent.
You know that's not what Carney means he's been clear he believes Iran needs to be bombed to "civilize" it.
