Not that we needed any more confirmation, but the Washington Post reports that the Israeli-US attack on Iran was decided months earlier and had nothing to do with nuclear weapons.
Senior Israeli officials say they "already decided by March" to attack Iran -- the same month the US intel community assessed that Iran had no nuclear weapons program.
The reason "was that Iran would have rebuilt its air defenses by the latter half of the year", which gave Israel "a unique opportunity to execute plans, carefully laid months and years in advance, to heavily damage a weakened Iran." Just to underscore the point, the choice to attack "was not so much driven by new intelligence indicating an Iranian sprint for a nuclear weapon or any imminent threat to Israel."
This was simply good old fashioned Israeli-US aggression in defense of Israeli-US hegemony. Rinse and repeat.
