The second #Trump admin skipped the pretense, opting to speed-run the #US into conflict, at a time when public polling shows that the idea of #war with #Iran is spectacularly unpopular with the American people.

In his address to the nation Saturday evening, Trump said, "Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity & a stop to the #nuclear threat posed by the world's number one state sponsor of terror."

#Trump did not claim on Saturday that he launched the attacks because #Iran was close to having a #nuclear weapon - as he had suggested earlier in the week. "I think they were very close to having one," the president said Tuesday, as he disputed Gabbard's testimony to #Congress.

#Trump's attacks on #Iran constitute an act of #war - & could set off a new, long-term conflict with potential to grow into something much larger. Unlike a previous time an American president preemptively initiated a war in the #MiddleEast, when George W. Bush plunged America into a disastrous war in Iraq, he & his team spent roughly a year building a case of lies & propaganda to sell to a public that was already broadly supportive of post-9/11 military action.

"There is no intel," said one of the ofcls…."The president is protecting the United States & our interests, [but] the intelligence assessments have not really changed from what they were before."

Sen #ChrisMurphy, who sits on the #ForeignRelations Cmte, confirmed…American #intelligence assessments on #Iran have not changed. "I was briefed on the intelligence last week. Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon."

Netanyahu has tried for two decades to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran & finally found a president stupid enough, narcissistic enough, and easily manipulated enough to do it.
