      The nut jobs believe the Jews are to bring Armageddon. So the nuts on the Right are waiting for God to kill the Jews for them, and the Left is fueled by fear of being (seen as) antisemitic.

      Higher oil prices. The US has become an oil exporter after all. They also went after Venezuela and Russia for similar reasons.

      The Iranian revolution hates monarchirs, so a lot of Arab monarchies like the Saudis or UAE love this. Trump loves those monarchies for plane reasons.

      US arms industry sells weapons.

      Iran supplied weapons to Yemen disrupting the Red Sea shipping.

      I still just don’t understand why the US is doing this. What do they gain from Israel killing everyone within arms reach?

      Evangelical Christians, aka NatCi’s are in the belief that Israel is the way to begin the transition to the rapture, from squinting at the bible and reading it upside down.

      The Islamic Iranian regime have been adveseries of the US for decades. IRGC leaders and supporters regulary chant “death to America” and denote it “the big satan”.

      Is it really that mysterious why the US would want to support attacking the Iranian regime?

      Less brown people and only one country to puppet around. If the whole middle east becomes Israel, and the US controls Israel, the US now controls the whole middle east.

        With money they receive from the US in the first place, the weapons manufacturers then use that money to bribe lobby the US government to support Israel some more and send them more money
