I'd argue both of these things are true. The people making profit off the war want to keep making money, and people who want to consolidate resources for strategic purposes like destroying Iran want to end it. You have to keep in mind that the US is not a hivemind with a common purpose. There are many different groups all pulling things in different directions based on their own interests.

There are many different groups all pulling things in different directions based on their own interests.

the latest batch of epstein files confirms that there are other groups out there and we can infer that they don't always align.

you're ahead of the curve. lol
