Trump recently rebuffed the suggestion that Israel, and specifically Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was to blame for for him joining their military action against Iran. "Did Israel force your hand to launch these strikes against Iran? Did Netanyahu pull the United States into this war?" a reporter asked. "No. I might have forced their hand," Trump said. "You see, we were having negotiations with these lunatics. And it was my opinion that they were going to attack first. They were going to attack if we didn't do it."
