PoliticsTop US lawmaker Mike Johnson says lying is part of some Iranians’ religion

House Speaker Mike Johnson defended Donald Trump’s decision to wage war on Iran, saying some Iranians apparently view lying to people they disagree with as part of their religion. He praised Trump’s “steady hands at the wheel” and argued the war was necessary because Iran was close to obtaining a nuclear weapon, despite earlier US intelligence assessments that Iran was not building one.
