Israel attacked Iran in an aggressive act of war. The US government supported the strikes, providing intelligence and planning with Netanyahu. Donald Trump cynically used nuclear negotiations with Tehran as cover, as he oversaw the joint US-Israeli operation.

Israel has launched a major attack on Iran, which could escalate into a larger war.
The United States is not just sitting on the sidelines, watching what is happening; the Donald Trump administration is directly involved.
The US government oversaw the attack. Washington provided Tel Aviv with crucial intelligence, to help it kill top Iranian officials, with US weapons.
Trump provided Israel with cover, by overseeing fake peace talks with Iran, which in reality were a cynical ruse.
As US officials met with their Iranian counterparts to discuss a new nuclear deal (after Trump unilaterally tore up the previous one), Washington and Tel Aviv were secretly planning the operation.
Trump personally gave Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the green light to launch the strikes.
Trump: “I always knew the date” of Israel’s attack on Iran; “we knew everything”
Mere hours after Israel struck Iran, Trump told the New York Post that he had approved the attack beforehand.
“I always knew the date”, Trump said. “Because I know everything”.
“I gave [Iran] 60 days and they didn’t meet it. Today is day 61”, he added, referring to 13 June.
