Pre-emptive lie debunking for the potential Iran War

"We just found out that Iran had a hand in 9/11!"

Nope. That was Al Qaeda, 19 men from 15 countries... none of them were from Iran.

"Iran is a haven for Al Qaeda, ISIS, etc.!"

Nope. Iran is a Shia-majority country. Al Qaeda and ISIS largely consider Shia Muslims to be heretics.

"We don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud!"

Nope. A fool can't get fooled again.
