The "intent" is defined by a reasonableness standard, not just what the person who took the action claims.
Thanks for the lesson on intent; it could have been why I asked folks what they felt Trump's motivation was. Pretty sure I understood the intent requirement all along, so perhaps I'm not the one in need of assistance.
Not one person said: "To start a war." However, you seem to assert that was the intent as you what to classify it as an Act of War.
Was this "Act of War" against Iraq or Iran; as the attack occurred on Iraqi soil?
