Why did America decide to bomb Iran?

Wait, you just said the Israelis have a different opinion.

Do you mean the Israelis or do you mean the Iranians?

So I'm really curious about that.

Why do you think that Trump is tying himself so closely to Israel's Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu?

So I was reading a recent report that said 60% of Israelis think that Netanyahu should resign.

There's also the former Israeli PM Ehud Barak, who recently described Netanyahu, and I quote, as someone who lost his strategic and moral compass, dragging the nation into war motivated by personal political interests against our security and common future.

The war in Gaza remains a humanitarian catastrophe.

So what is Trump thinking and doing?

So you refer to the fact that much of the rhetoric around this, from the Americans at least, is that this is not about regime change.

J.D.

Vance has said that.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also said that this is not about having an open-ended war.

It is not about regime change.

So never mind the rhetoric.

Does this attack bring about regime change in Iran?

And what does Iran look like going forward?

So thank you for preempting my very next question, which is indeed about the potential response from Iran.

So the Iranian parliament today approved a measure to close the Strait of Hormuz, which doesn't mean that that will happen immediately, but they have approved it.

The Strait of Hormuz, of course, being the critical oil route between Iran and Oman, which, if that does happen, would have serious implications for the global economy.
