Israel’s war on Iran was made in the USA
Israel’s war on Iran was made in USA: Trump supported attacks, while faking peace talks

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: A Man of War, but always want to appear as A Man of Peace
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.
Trump repeated these comments in an interview with Reuters: “We knew everything,” he stated, revealing that the US government was in constant communication with Israel.
“I think it’s been excellent,” Trump said of the Israeli attack on Iran, in an interview with ABC News.
“We gave [Iran] a chance and they didn’t take it. They got hit hard, very hard. They got hit about as hard as you’re going to get hit,” Trump boasted. “And there’s more to come. A lot more.”
Just three days before the attack, the Trump administration sent Israel 300 Hellfire missiles, US officials admitted to Middle East Eye. These US missiles were used to kill Iranian officials.
Trump’s fake “peace talks” with Iran were cover for surprise attack
The Wall Street Journal summarized the Trump administration’s cynical strategy: “US Diplomacy Served as Cover for Israeli Surprise Attack.”
Trump falsely claimed that he wanted peace with Iran, and US officials participated in five rounds of negotiations with Tehran. The sixth was supposed to be held in Oman on 15 June.
These talks aimed to broker a new Iran nuclear deal. Back in 2018, during his first term as US president, Trump unilaterally withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which had been signed into international law in 2015 and endorsed by a UN Security Council Resolution.
However, the Wall Street Journal noted that Trump’s bad-faith negotiations over a new agreement “ended up being the perfect cover for a surprise Israeli attack.”
This is how the Israeli media described Trump’s duplicitous scheme: “The US participated in a massive campaign to lull Iran into thinking an attack was not going to happen immediately.”
While publicly participating in these negotiations, the US government was privately helping Israel prepare for war on Iran.
A US official told ABC News that, before the attack, the Trump administration provided Israel with “exquisite” intelligence needed to target Iranian officials.
