All of the above and reading long, boring policy papers which is how I know this war with Iran has been planned at least as far back as 2009. The Brookings Institute literally has it layed out point by point in 2009.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow No, no, no. It was planned as far back as the 1990s by my merry band of neoconservatives. And now, we‘re finally there.

The Project for a New American Century (PNAC) had been pretty specific about it in the late 1990s and early 2000s, long before Brookings caught on, besides, Iran didn’t have a known nuclear program in the 1980s, it was developed and discovered in the 1990s.

@CedricH Big picture sure. But do you have trouble with reading comprehension. The Brookings Institute paper is a point by point plan of conducting the war which we are seeing in real time including manufacturing the consent for the war and the "problem" with trying to convince people that an illegal offensive war is defensive.

Also the nuclear program is irrelevant and is not what this is about. If you believe that you are even more gullible than I thought. Iran has not had a nuclear weapons program in 20 years.

And you can find compilations going as far back as the 80s Bibi trying to start this war and claiming that Iran is weeks away from a bomb since 1995.
