With everything that has gone on so far in Iran, I firmly believe Israel, the US, or another western ally has a spy highly placed in the Iranian government somewhere. I think Trump was given intel on exactly how Iran would respond to the attack by America on their nuclear sites.

I think they all were it sounds like. Qutar said Iran told them way before it happened too.
They just wanted to pound their chest to placate some of the other hardliners and say "see we responded!"

I do not understand people objecting to the strike on Iran. Those like Candace Owens claiming we are fighting Israel's war are either stupid of anti-Semitic. They can decide for themselves what they are. I do think some of them look like it is all about Jew hating based on their own words and rationale for their opinions.
My thoughts are that Israel is a reliable ally. More so than Germany and France, and recently Australia too. America has always been there for our friends. We helped Great Britain in the Falklands, a war that had nothing to do with us. We have been helping Ukraine, a country that is not really an ally. Of course we would help Israel in a war with Iran, also an enemy of the US.
At the same time, America's stated position on Iran has always been they cannot be allowed to develop nuclear weapons. This position is not just about Israel, it is also about the US. If Iran gets nukes it will destabilize the entire region.
The reason Trump bombed Iran, when I am certain he really did not want to is because we have the bunker buster bombs, MOPs, that could penetrate down to the level necessary to destroy Iran's underground facilities. More importantly, only the US has the bombers powerful enough to carry those bombs to Iran to drop them. Israel does not have heavy bombers capable of carrying the 30k pound bombs. And, there was no chance we would hand over the B2 to Israel to do it themselves. It had to be the US.
I have believed for some time that the anti-Israel crowd uses the Israeli government as cover for their anti-Semitism. They hate Jews but can't say it openly, so they criticize Israel when they defend themselves. Candace Owns' latest theory if Netanyahu know about October 7 and did nothing to stop it so he would have a pretext to bomb Gaza - with no proof.
