Just when you thought U.S. justifications couldn't get more senseless, Trump now says Iran "both [a war and] and excursion that'll keep us out of a war" When you combine this with what Rubio said, that the war was started "defensively" because they knew Israel would attack and they expected Iran would respond ( you arrive at this official narrative: "The war on Iran is both a little excursion and a war launched preemptively to stop Iran from defending itself against the war we started to keep us out of a war." Makes perfect sense...
