Trump and Israel Start the Iran War

President Donald Trump said on Friday afternoon that he was expecting to sit down with Iran for more negotiations next week. A few hours later, he announced the beginning of "major combat operations" in order to "raze their missile industry to the ground," "annihilate their navy," and help Iranians overthrow their government.

"The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost and we may have casualties. That often happens in war," Trump added. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also announced that his country was taking part in "joint operations" in order to "create the conditions for the brave Iranian people to take their fate into their own hands."
