Mr Rubio said President Donald Trump was forced into a preemptive response after learning of an imminent Israeli attack, as officials knew such an attack would trigger retaliation against US military personnel in the Middle East.

“It was abundantly clear that if Iran came under attack by anyone – the United States or Israel or anyone – they were going to respond, and respond against the United States,” the secretary of state told reporters at the Capitol on Monday.

“We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action. We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn’t pre-emptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties.”

Why the USA attacked Iran, according to Trump three days ago...

Quote:
Trump has said the aim of the operation is to "ensure that Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon"

"We're going to destroy their missiles and raze their missile industry to the ground. It will be totally again obliterated," he said in an eight-minute video posted on Truth Social on Saturday morning
From the same article

Quote:
Netanyahu dismissed as "ridiculous" claims that Israel had pushed the US into a war with Iran.
And Hegseth says it's retribution...

https://abcnews.com/Politics/hegseth...y?id=130674351

Quote:
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Monday defended the ongoing U.S. attack on Iran as necessary because of Tehran’s missile arsenal and nuclear ambitions, calling it "our retribution" for its yearslong role in sponsoring terrorism.

You would hope that the three people leading the war that could escalate into a global conflict could at least agree on why they are doing it...
