Come on... This can't be true. The yanks must have known that Iran would strike back.
It would be very funny and I hope that it is true. I just don't think it.
It wouldn't be the first time the USA has employed the "Imma strike you, but if you strike back you're a peace hating savage" tactic. They've done it several times already. For any country that acts diplomatically in good faith, it puts you in quite a tough spot. If you strike back (especially if you strike back harder), then you're risking escalations, but if you do nothing, then your enemy has gotten a free strike in.
the fact they called it everywhere a "pre-emptive" attack says it all when Iran had not intention whatsoever of starting this conflict
Isreal has been doing this non-stop since the supposed "cease fire."
