Netanyahu Reveals Trump Had Decided on War Against Iran Before His Second Term

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu disclosed that U.S. President Donald Trump had formulated plans for war against Iran prior to the start of his second presidential term. The revelation suggests the current military conflict, launched on February 28, 2026, was a premeditated decision rather than a response to immediate threats. Netanyahu's statement offers new insight into the strategic planning behind Operation Epic Fury and the long-term intentions driving the U.S.-led campaign against Iran.
