Why bomb Iran?
Fuck the conspiracy theories. It was not about winning back popular support. It was immensely unpopular among the general public and even among MAGA supporters. It even pissed off Fascists like Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon. It might even end up being Trump's undoing.
Here's one reason: it was a chance to test the GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP), a 13.6-ton bunker- busting bomb—the most powerful non-nuclear weapon of its kind ever used. And it was a way to demonstrate US weapons prowess to China and Russia.
And here's another reason: overthrowing or, at least, destabilizing, Iran takes out one more important ally of Russia and China, paving the way for an eventual direct confrontation in the drive for complete
Hegemony.
