Lately, there has been many mentions about many Americans are against the Iran war. Eventually that became a distaste of Israel, and ended with blaming Israel of starting the war with Iran and forcing Trump to start also.
These are the facts as I have seen them and know them, plus now they are part of History:
1. Israel was ready to tackle Iran right from the beginning. Their position was complete and they had all that was needed to do the job, including intelligence. At that point Trump stopped Israel and started moving the power of the US near Iran.
2. Israel had one main purpose for the fight and that is to free the people of Iran from the butchers ruling them and forcing them to do what they wanted for more than 40 years. Including forcing the women to wear the Hijab and body covers. Anyone not following their rules was arrested, tortured and then most likely killed.
3. Trump delayed the operation for nearly a month. In that nearly one month the Iran government killed about 90,000 citizens because they were demonstrating outside and singing against the government.
4. If Israel would have attacked Iran from the beginning, and not waited for Trump who was continuously changing positions, many thousands of citizens would have been still alive.
5. Trump was planning to bring and use his super power in the area near Iran, to force Iran to negotiate and he was hoping that all that power around them will scare them to give him what he wanted.
6. Israel was totally against the negotiations with Iran and they told that to Trump many times, even publicly. One reason was the negotiated settlement of Trump with Hamas for Israel has been totally bad and not fixable. Trump's biggest care was to negotiate a stop to Iran's nuclear work and a few other minor issues. Israel was against the negotiations because they knew that Iran's butchers will not follow the agreement. Plus they already had proof of that by Iran starting to work very hard to rebuild the nuclear plants destroyed by Israel and the US in the 12 days war. Plus they started building an additional nuclear plant with bunkers underground. In addition they fixed the plants to manufacture rockets and drones and they speeded up production to rebuild and increase their stocks. Trump gave them an additional nearly a month. One more reason for Israel not believing in the negotiations was the fact that it was impossible for Trump to negotiate with Iran's present government any reliable and good change of leadership.
After being rejected on all points in the negotiations, Trump added one more clause. He now was not only asking them to stop any nuclear work, he also demanded from them that they ship all the enriched uranium to the US.
[The estimate was that Iran would have been able to produce up to 8 nuclear bombs within a few months. The first of them within weeks.]
7. All of Israel's collected intelligence was shared with the US army to synchronize the work. Trump continued to move left and right without any decision even after the negotiations failed completely. Iran liked to have negotiations because it gave them the extra time to prepare more rockets, drones, get more help from the Russians and the Chinese.
8. Israel intelligence found out about the scheduled high level government meeting and its original time. They worked more on it and they found the exact location and time. That way, Israel knew that they had the perfect chance to get the whole leadership in one hit at the right time. Those details were also given to Trump by a telephone conversation with Natanyahu. Thus he knew the date and time that Israel was going to make her first move. He agreed to it and the USA forces prepared to start at that date also. Anyway, a few days before the start Israel publicly and clearly said that Israel is ready to start without the US.
9. On that first day, Israel sent fighter jets to Tehran. They dropped 8 bombs on the exact location at the right time. There are some claims that Israel hit the site by a rocket, but that is totally not correct for many real reasons. The outcome was exactly as they expected. The Ayatollah and all his top staff were terminated and probably more others also. His wife died a couple of days after from damage received in the destruction. There is also very good chance that the son of the Ayatollah was also damaged in the explosion. That is why he has not shown up at all even after he was elected as the new leader.
10. From that first day both Air Forces started to attack military targets all over Iran and destroyed Iran's air force, more than 200 rockets launchers. A lot of IRGC bases. The US sank an Iranian ship that tried to attack one of the aircraft carriers. They also destroyed many smaller vessels that were to be used to attack in bulk from many sides to damage ships that can not get them all from the different sides. Also, both Air Forces destroyed all the nuclear plants, rocket and drone plants, army bases and airports. They also destroyed some rockets and drone storage facilities. Plus all the runways.The US Air Force also destroyed the Tehran underground bunker where the Ayatollah originally hid to escape the air attacks.
11. Israel killed all the government ministers, senior and lower staff. They achieved what they wanted from the start. They destroyed the government to the point that gave the Iranian citizens the upper hand to finish the rest, become free and restart a free nation. Now the revolutionary guards started yesterday to attack the IRGC with weapons. The IRGC started running away. Also the President of Iran begged the US and Israel to not assassinate him and said he is resigning.
12. One more point that must be told here is that Trump had a very personal reason for all of this. Trump wanted to have the full glory on how he dealt with Iran. He did not want the full glory to go to Israel. The same as what he did working on the truce with Hamas and forcing Israel to stop and retreat, and he got the glory for stopping that war.
