Even with that evidence you still have to explain why Trump said he knocked out Iran's capability to make nukes for years shortly before that. Then changed his mind and said they were weeks away from the bomb. What changed in the intelligence? If they were so sure they had knocked out the capability before then why should we then trust them to be right this time?

Then on top of that why not just do the same thing? Just send in bombs every so often just targeting the nuclear facilities? Lot less cost and doesn't close the straight and stops Iran from getting the nuke.

What not to do is declare that you won every week as if you didn't say the same thing last week. Don't say you knocked out 100% of their missiles only to have them clearly capable of launching attacks in the region hours later. Don't say you have a peace treaty with them when you don't. Don't say Iran will fall soon because of economic pressure over and over every week when they aren't.

But, most of all don't involve the US in the middle east. It never goes good for anyone.

Your post is spot-on but I think it's very possible he got played by the US deep state / permanent Washington and Mossad. They knew he'd be too stupid / egocentric to see past it. Wanted to look like a hero and it blew up in his face.
