"According to a report in The New York Times, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lobbied Trump into taking military action, even as the Trump administration was engaged in peace talks with Iran regarding nuclear enrichment."
"Secretary of State Marco Rubio explained that the U.S. acted when it did because U.S. officials knew Israel was going to strike anyway."
Sen. Chuck Schumer momentarily confused reporters by stating nobody wants Israel to have nuclear weapons, then corrected himself after being informed of his error. Israel possesses an undisclosed nuclear arsenal. The incident occurred as Congress prepares to vote on War Powers resolutions following a massive bombing campaign against Iran coordinated between the U.S. and Israel. According to reports, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu lobbied Trump into military action despite ongoing peace talks regarding Iranian nuclear enrichment. Secretary of State Rubio stated the U.S. acted because officials knew Israel would strike regardless. The strikes have killed hundreds of Iranians, including dozens of top officials and over 165 people in a school strike. Iran responded by bombing U.S. targets, killing six American service members.
