If Biden doesn't define a red line on Iran, Americans will die

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : History shows that success against Iran requires red lines.
43% : Iran blustered but ultimately understood it could do little.
41% : Not only did his withdrawal of Marines from Lebanon after the 1983 barracks bombing demonstrate to Iran, and a young Osama Bin Laden, that terrorism worked, but his arms-for-hostages scheme incentivized more kidnappings.
38% : It will encourage Iran to adopt more extreme positions and Iran's belief that it faces no accountability for any provocation.
33% : It is just a matter of time before Iran or its proxies land a lucky shot and kill a dozen Americans or snatch new American hostages off the streets of Baghdad, Erbil, or Sulaymani.
30% : For all his tough rhetoric, George W. Bush let Iran quite literally get away with murder in Iraq.
16% : Iraqi officials tell me that Tehran calculates that Biden will never respond like Trump.
