According to Rolling Stone, there was no intelligence indicating that Iran was attempting a nuclear weapons break-out, nor that such an activity was authorized in any way, and so, "Trump’s Attacks on Iran Were Based on Vibes.
Given that Trump is now calling for regime change in Iran, despite earlier claiming that there was no intent to cause regime change and that they wanted to resume negotiations:
President Donald Trump on Sunday called into question the future of Iran’s ruling theocracy after a surprise attack on three of the country’s nuclear sites, seemingly contradicting his administration’s earlier calls to resume negotiations and avoid an escalation in fighting.
“It’s not politically correct to use the term, ‘Regime Change,’ but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn’t there be a Regime change???” Trump posted on social media. “MIGA!!!”
The posting on Truth Social marked something of a reversal from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s Sunday morning news conference that detailed the aerial bombing.
“This mission was not and has not been about regime change,” Hegseth said.
I can think of no better reason for Iran to feel a need for nuclear weapons than the above.
Rather unsurprisingly, the Iranian parliament voted to close the Strait of Hormuz, the critical waterway through about ⅕ of the world's oil passes.
While that vote has no force, the actual decision would be made by the Iranian Supreme National Security Council, it is a significant step, and one which does not bode well for energy prices or the world economy.
It really is amazing just f%$#ing incompetent these guys are.
