My 2 cents - Netanyahu talked him into it.

From what I’ve read mostly here:

The CIA assessed that the likely successor to Ayatollah Khomeini would like be very hard line Republican Guard.

(6 days ago) Trump's top general warns of munitions shortages as Iran strike risks grow

US intel did not suggest a preemptive strike from Iran before US-Israeli attacks, AP sources say (Sunday Congressional briefing)

Sen.’s Warner AND Ted _______ Cruz both said that they saw no immediate threat from Iran.

Homeland Security is on impulse power during the funding fight.

Iran was relenting to EVERYTHING at the negotiations. Possibly because they saw what happened in Venezuela, sure, but without the threat of Iran (for 30 years) Netanyahu has nothing.

I know, Epstein, but Trump has weathered that for months and RW media (Fox) has ignored it and even rationalized it for months.


If there any other reasonable conclusion?

1. Certainly part of it. The two criminals need each other to avoid consequences for other crimes.

[questionseverything]

2. It's still Epstein

Epstein reported to mossad so who knows what they had on bibi/*rump

3. MBS did not like Shia opposition to his modernization

of Sunni world. Abraham Accords are designed to let Saudis become more westernized. Shia, Iran is mostly Shia, and Quran are very opposed to usury and finance.
MBS, through Kushner, pushed trump as well.

9. Interesting

I read last night that MBS was pushing privately to overthrow Iran.

Thanks.

4. There's no doubt he talked Trump into withdrawing from the 2015 JCPA

5. The news of a 13 year old girl in the

Epstein files biting his little penis made him do it.

6. Could be Netanyahu blackmailed Trump into attacking Iran.

Netanyahu may well have access to Epstein's stash.

7. Intolerably corrupt payoff to Netanyahu and MBS...

...among others. Gotta keep the billions flowing into trump coffers.

8. My 1 cent. Khamenei was unwell. They didn't want Mother Nature to win

The military action is a distraction from the Epstein files, and wwould have been unnecessary if Khamenei died naturally. As a bonus, Bebe wants war as a distraction for his own problems. If Khamenei died naturally, the negotiations would have likely continued, logically for a little while at least. Couldn’t have that now, could we?

10. Don't forget the Saudis too!

Mohammed bin Salman secretly lobbied lobbied tRump to attack Iran. Jared is all over this deal.
