Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon

What is the endgame here? They certainly can’t be delusional enough to assume that killing civilians or bombing facilities will ingratiate them with the Iranian people to overthrow the government or even making the government surrender; how many more people will they radicalize through this process? How many more lives do they want to destroy? When will the middle east have peace?
I have gotten cynical to the point of assuming the “endgame” here is properly kicking off WW3, so that Trump gets an excuse to drop a nuke or two on an adversary.
“The last time we had a world war, we won it! We were the best - and we won it with our nukes, our big beautiful nukes - it’s really a shame we haven’t used them since, don’t you think? We ended the war by dropping 2 on Japan, and now Japan is our best friend. Why don’t we drop some nukes on Iran? Don’t we want them to be our friend?”
Also, wasn’t Trump the reason the largest non-nuclear bomb in the USA arsenal was first used in combat? The bomb that had never been deployed in the almost 15 years since it’s creation specifically because the US military thought it would create too many civilian casualties?
The same Trump that allegedly wanted to nuke hurricanes to disrupt them before they hit the US’s coast?
The dude just wants to play with the shiny toys and see things go “boom”. He has literally stated to his own biographer that
When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same. The temperament is not that different."
I suppose it suits him just fine that Israel is now flirting with open warfare with their neighbors.
Or the evangelists in Trump’s ear are trying to bring about the end of the world to kick off the rapture or some goofy ass psycho shit.
Yes, and he wants to drop a nuke so bad he cant STAND it

Well, I think Israel are horrible villains here, but I also think Iran might be a lot better off without the theocratic regime and with disarmed warfare capabilities. In a more ideal world, Iran would de-escelate and make amiccable relations with the west to avoid any future conflicts. In the world we actually live in, Israel is probably hankering for a hunk of that pie and will expand their borders.
