Yeah, that info is just a decision based on the political optics of how the joint operation was conducted (who should strike first).

I feel like this is what Netanyahu has been trying to get the US to help them do for years and years.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was at the White House last week pressing the administration to do what it must to derail Iran’s nuclear program, its ballistic missile infrastructure and its support for proxy militias in the region.
Like the kid that keeps asking dad for a PS5, but dad keeps saying no or offering lesser prizes. They finally asked on the right day, when dad was already in the mood to get that PS5, and dad said “fuck it, let’s go get it.”
