‘Israel First’: Trump Confirms War With Iran Is About Protecting Israel — Not America

Fact checked by The People's Voice Community

In a sharp reversal, President Donald Trump acknowledged Wednesday that U.S. forces are at war with Iran on behalf of Israel—contradicting his own claim just a day earlier that America was “in control” as joint airstrikes entered their fourth day.

“And I think if we didn’t do it first they would have done it to Israel,” Trump said, referring the U.S. military strikes against Iran.

Immediately after the first strikes against Iran on February 28, The People’s Voice reported Israel was the driving force behind the military operation and inching the world closer to World War 3.

On Tuesday Trump countered a statement by Secretary of State Marco Rubio about which country made the decision to attack Iran, the U.S. or Israel.

Trump was asked by a reporter on Tuesday “Did Israel force your hand to launch these strikes against Iran? Did Netanyahu pull the United States into this war?”

“No. I might have forced their hand,” the President said.

A day earlier Rubio had a different story behind the war – that Israel made the decision to attack Iran, and that the U.S. was dragged in after it.

“The President made the very wise decision—we knew that there was going to be an Israeli action, we knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn’t preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties,” Rubio said Monday.
