The calls to attack Iran were coming from inside the House of Saud

With bonus post hoc Iraqification of the war on Iran. And perhaps a soupçon of lackey/bus chassis introduction.
“The situation was very quickly approaching the point of no return… based on what Steve and Jared and Pete and others were telling me, Marco is so involved, I thought they were going to attack us,” Trump said, referring to Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Kushner, who has no formal title.
“Within a week, [Iran was] going to attack us, 100 percent. They were ready,” Trump said at a different event Monday. “They had all these missiles, far more than anyone thought, and they were going to attack us.”
PI lays out the case that the calls to attack Iran ultimately came from Saudi Arabia. You can subscribe here, if you want to read and support great reporting.
Whoever told tRump that Iran was about to attack us, whatever he thought that meant and assuming that’s what they said and not a figment of misfiring neurons, or yet another lie, he completely ignored information from highly-trained specialists who aren’t receiving hundreds of millions of dollars from foreign governments.
The claim that Iran was planning an imminent attack against the U.S. — the conclusion that Trump took away from his discussions with Kushner and others — is directly contradicted by U.S. intelligence agencies. Shortly after the war began, “Trump administration officials told congressional staff in private briefings on Sunday that U.S. intelligence did not suggest Iran was preparing to launch a preemptive strike against the United States interests,” according to ABC News. CNN reported that Trump administration officials “acknowledged to congressional staff that Iran was not planning to strike US forces or bases in the Middle East unless Israel attacked Iran first.”
