3. We were bombed - so now we are ivolved.
My understanding is that the USA was bounced into the war by Israel who, legitimately, attacked Iran. The USA rightly feared (because Iran so threatened) that their bases and assets would be legitimate target for Iran. So the USA legitimately attacked Iran.
Simples, really.

Trump’s Press Secretary, KKKaroline Leavitt, contradicted that understanding…

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has said President Donald Trump’s decision to attack Iran — which subsequently ignited a conflict that has sparked chaos across the Middle East — was grounded in what she called a “feeling based on fact” that Iran would imminently attack the United States and its allies.
“The president was not going to be just another president on a very long list who sat back and stood by and passed the buck of this direct threat to the next administration,” she said at a White House briefing when The Independent pressed her on the shifting explanations for the war offered by top administration officials since the weekend.
“The president had a feeling, again, based on fact, that Iran was going to strike the United States was going to strike our assets in the region, and he made a determination to launch Operation Epic Fury based on all of those reasons,” Leavitt added.

And so did Trump
Quote:
Trump himself contradicted that claim during a media availability with reporters Tuesday after he was asked if Israel had “forced his hand” with their own attack plans.
“Based on the way that the negotiations was going, I think that they were going to attack first. And I didn't want that to happen,” Trump said. “So if anything, I might have forced Israel's hand. But Israel was ready and we were ready.”
