I mean yeah, they always know.

The question is how invovled were they in the attack itself (logistics, access to US surveillance, planning, etc.)

Trump seems to be implying this is "off hands" like he stopped engaging the Houthis in the red sea a while back.

I wonder if this is Netanyahu thrashing a bit in an effort to keep the US invovled, or the US proxying an Iranian attack with more plausible deniability.

US proxying an Iranian attack with more plausible deniability.

Why does the US care about that aspect. If the US wanted to it could directly attack Iran, and the only thing China or Russia would do is "tsk-tsk" the US. No one is going to bat for Iran, especially against the US.

Maybe because Trump claimed to be anti war when campaigning? Not that he ever seems to give a shit about being hypocritical.
