Israel described the massive attack as a “preemptive strike".
Analyst Trita Parsi says Trump appears to be coordinating with Israel to try to force Iran to capitulate on nuclear disarmament.
But Netanyahu likely wants to draw the US into war with Iran.

Of course, there is not the one and only master conspiracy, a central world plan. But there are a lot of smaller conspiracies, that even don't hide, that they are, like Bilderberger Conference.
One of the most enlightening statements on US geo strategic objectives is made by Zbigniew Brzeziński: The ressources of Siberia belong to the whole world! That was in the mid 70ies and can explain all US moves since then. No regards of Rep or Dem govs.
@wauz
Thanks, yes, I'm not talking about what the perpetrators say, etc. but rather about what investigative or scholarly research says on any one of the million and one corporate-imperialist crimes against humanity, eg, Matt Kennard's work on the (now renamed) ISDS.
Basically, the plutocracy and its puppet govts run the world's financial, & hence political, systems*, but the complexities within that system can't be properly addressed by generalisations.
