There's more truth to this than there was to the wmds thing, we know Iran has enriched uranium up to 65% which is way more than you need for nuclesr power and only a bit short of the threshold for bombs.

But it's also entirely Trump and Israels fault in the first place, Iran were complying with Obamas nuclear deal then Israel convinced Trump to stop honouring it so Iran rightly did the same. It's a problem they created in order to have an excuse to attack Iran.

Here's the thing. I don't know how planned all of this is.

The current war(s) clearly serves just to extend Netanyahu's time in power as much as possible, because he knows that as soon as elections come, he's out of the premiership and into (hopefully) jail.

Now that tensions in Gaza have lessened, a war with Iran is the most obvious option. It's true that Netanyahu convinced Trump to abandon the previous nuclear deal, but this was before his criminal indictment (minor point: but after the investigations) and I don't know if he planned that far forward.
