A Suitable Name for the Iran War

18th century European wars of choice were given different names in the colonies. The War of the Spanish Succession, for example, was known as Queen Anne’s War. The Seven Years’ War was the French and Indian War. Most colorfully, the War of the Austrian Succession was called the War of Jenkins’ Ear in light of an incident involving the Spanish at sea.

If we follow this line of reasoning, the Iran war should be called the War of Trump’s Gut.
