On why Trump acted now
Regarding talks with Tehran, Trump felt Iran was "playing a game" and "didn't think they were genuine." One thing Trump "was thinking about, and I kept talking to him about, is if you do this, you reset the damage done" by the Afghanistan withdrawal by President Biden. "You'll be a new sheriff in town, and this will reset our relationship with the rest of the world. And Israel's done a magnificent job, but we need to have our fingerprints on this too." Graham spoke with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier Sunday.

Graham, Netanyahu's little messanger, with his incessant nagging to Trump to go all in on Iran and "close the chapter on Khamenei needs to go.
Him and James Lankford both. Waiting for MAGA to run them both out of town.
