Then why are we picking a fight with Iran?

Al-Qaeda Stronger Than Ever? State Department's War On Terror Redux

Bloomberg cites the State Department in a report this week to say al-Qaeda is "rebuilding" and appears "stronger than ever":Al-Qaeda and its affiliates remain as much of a threat to the U.S. as “it has ever been” after the terrorist group rebuilt itself while the U.S. and other nations focused on destroying Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, a State Department official said.“Al-Qaeda has been strategic and patient over the past several years,” Nathan Sales, the State Department’s coordinator for counterterrorism, said on Thursday at a briefing in Washington. “It’s let ISIS absorb the brunt of the world’s counterterrorism efforts while patiently reconstituting itself. What we see today is an al-Qaeda that is as strong as it has ever been.”

Something is not making sense in the UK or the Trump House.  The UK commits an act of war on Iran, but Iran is equally against Al Qaeda, and Britain is more likely to be hit by Al Qaeda.
