How Trump came to reluctantly support Isreal's strike on Iran

Among the reasons for Trump’s change of heart was the declaration Thursday by the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, that Iran was in breach of its nonproliferation requirements. Trump was also concerned by the sense coming from Israel, the United States and the IAEA that Iran had achieved leaps in its nuclear program, and he didn’t want to be the president on whose watch it was able to obtain a nuclear weapon.

Every time. They at least tried to bury this near the bottom

But Trump still wouldn’t sign off on everything Israel wanted. After the start of their military campaign, the Israelis collected intelligence that could have allowed them to target and kill Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Netanyahu presented the operation to Trump, who opposed the plan altogether and wouldn’t allow the United States to participate, according to two U.S. officials. No Americans had been killed in the conflict, so Trump didn’t believe it would be appropriate to remove Khamenei, the political leader, and recommended against the Israelis’ conducting the operation, the officials said.

I mean, he’s justified if he did sign off on it because of the third enrichment plant and Iran failing nonproliferation

Trump was always going to shill for them. He just knows how unpopular it is and needs to look like he's getting dragged into it.
