Lawmakers: Israeli plan to attack Iran dictated Trump’s decision on strikes

Senior lawmakers from both parties said the Trump administration decided to launch bombing and missile strikes across Iran this weekend largely due to Israel’s plan to attack Iran. They cited coordination with Israeli leaders as a key influence on the decision, shaping the timing and scope of the strikes.

Lawmakers argued that Washington felt pressure to act in concert with Israel to deter Iranian activities and to project allied unity in the region. The discussions reportedly centered on how to respond to perceived Iranian threats while maintaining regional credibility.

The developments come amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, with officials stressing the strikes aim to degrade Iran’s capabilities without long-term escalation. Administration officials emphasized the action was part of a broader strategy to curb Iran’s influence and deter future aggression.
