US President Donald Trump claims he ‘forced Israel’s hand’ to launch an operation against Iran, countering a theory that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been manipulating him. The remarks contradict Secretary of State Marco Rubio's suggestion that Israel’s plan to attack Iran triggered Washington’s involvement in Operation Epic Fury. The US president says he prefers someone from within the Iran than former crown prince Reza Pahlavi to replace the slain supreme leader Ali Khamenei

On Tuesday afternoon, Secretary of State Marco Rubio attempted to clarify remarks he made Monday, when he essentially blamed Israel for dragging the U.S. into military action with Iran, saying the decision to strike came from President Donald Trump, not Israel. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4dvW0W2Oiho
The Mullahs had a simple plan. Build and stockpile so many missiles and drones that the good guys would run out of munitions first.
Then pummel them at leisure, Putin style.
Yes
No, Marco Rubio Didn’t Claim That Israel Dragged Trump into War with Iran

Both were ready.
Grow up and go chase the Epstein ambulance.
>> No, Marco Rubio Didn’t Claim That Israel Dragged Trump into War with Iran
Yes! No. Period. End of manufactured talking point. 👍🏻
Netanyahu, as played by Alex Rocco: “I got a business to run. I gotta kick asses sometimes to make it run right. We had a little argument, Donny and me, so I had to straighten him out.”
Can’t we all just celebrate with the people of Iran? They are happy to be free.
“We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action. We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn’t preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties.”
I’m old enough to remember the Iraqis tearing down the statue of Saddam.
I suppose I should have been celebrating with them at that moment despite the million of them and the thousands of our boys who would die in the next decade. Not to mention the 10’s of thousands of our boys who blew their brains out when they got home or the trillions of our dollars flushed down the toilet.
Yes, celebrating is what I should have been doing.
So, if this war goes sideways and ends up being a disaster, Trump has protected Israel but is letting MAGA and Republicans be destroyed.<P.
Wonderful.
No. Trump has said we were going in for our own interests, not Israel's.
.................”Can’t we all just celebrate with the people of Iran? They are
happy to be free.”
I’ll celebrate with you.
I couldn’t believe what I saw on 9-11. The USA under attack??
Trump spent months moving his chess pieces into position, to carry out a plan years in the making. Then they waited for the right moment to spring the trap.
The negotiations, in which Iran was playing for time, were actually about Trump playing for time until everything was ready and set to go.
Brilliant comment if it's sarcasm.
Yes, the Iranians love us after we started a war and 160 elementary girls were killed by a bomb that was dropped on their school. It doesn't even matter how that happened. The masses are outrage by that.
The love us when the IDF won't even let Shite Muslims, 90% of the country, pick a new Ayatollah at council meeting. It's the equivalent of declaring war on Shite version of Islam.
There is absolutely no way the majority is going to rise up and install a US friendly regime. It's laughable anyone would think that is possible.
Most Iranians want a secular government.
“The United States has spent EIGHT TRILLION DOLLARS fighting and policing in the Middle East. Thousands of our Great Soldiers have died or been badly wounded. Millions of people have died on the other side. GOING INTO THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE WORST DECISION EVER MADE....” - Donald John Trump 10/9/19

Might be far less inclined to pick one friendly to us after having the shit bombed out of them
Yes, you should have.
It's so much fun, jumping up and down shaking your pom-poms and cheering for your war machine team!
And it will all be over in two weeks, max.
