President Trump was asked if Israel forced the US to attack Iran: "I might've forced their hand."

Trump throws Rubio under the bus, gives a clearly bogus new rationale for attack on Iran, saying it was his opinion because of the negotiations last week in Geneva, that Iran was going to strike first, so if anything he forced Israel's hand. 11:59 AM Mar 3, 2026

Rubio, yesterday:

It was abundantly clear that if Iran came under attack by anyone the United States or Israel or anyone they were going to respond, and respond against the United States Rubio told reporters at the Capitol.

We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action. We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn't pre-emptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties.

...he's such a fucking man-child.
