I think there is not just only one reason because there are many people involved and each person who is involved has their own reasons.

• 'The Greater Israel Project' There are Israelis who believe that they Zionists are not only entitled to Palestinian Land but also to the land of other countries in the Region. For example, Golan Heights is a portion of land that Israel annexed from Syria in 1981. One week before US attacks on Iran, Tucker Carlson interviewed the US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee. In the interview, Tucker asked about expanding Israel and Mike Huckabee said that Israel was entitle to Annex the land of surrounding countries. This upset US ally countries in the region.
• Christian Zionists believe that this Iran war will make Jesus come back to earth and trigger the rapture, which sends all Christians on earth to heaven and is the end of the earth. A recent example was the reporting from MRFF which alleged that US troops reported that their commanding officers spoke about biblical prophecy in relation to the Iran War. Christian Zionists are maybe the largest backer of Israel in the US. There is a large Christian Zionist lobby group called CUFI. The founder of CUFI is a Pastor named John Hagee who has a megachurch in San Antonio Texas. Israel Government officials have given speechs at his megachurch on multiple occasions to reinforce Israel's political goals.
• Miriam Adelson - Miriam Adelson is a top donor for Trump. She claimed to have donated $250 million to Trump's recent political campaign. In 2019, Trump signed a Presidential Proclamation that the US recognizes Golan Heights as Israeli owned land. Trump said that he did this on behalf of Miriam Adelson's husband Sheldon.
• Military Industrial Complex - War makes money for the US weapons companies.
• White Supremacy / Christian Nationalism - There are a lot of bigoted Americans who just want to kill Muslims.
• Benjamin Netanyahu is possibly afraid of prosecution for war crimes. The liberal Zionists want to make him into the Sin Eater. There are some Zionists who want to wash Israel of all the crimes committed in Gaza by blaming it only on Bibi. By getting Israel into a new conflict, he won't be open to prosecution.
• interference with 2026 election - This is one reason that I've read that I'm skeptical of. Trump is also trying to pass the SAVE act, which mandates voter ID. The purpose of Voter ID laws is to suppress voter turn out. It gives polling places an arbitrary reason to reject people who show up. There is some possibility that Trump will say that Iran is interfering with the Election to say that he needs to have the SAVE act passed. There was some extreme speculation that Trump will cancel the 2026 midterm election but I am doubting this.
