Did I mishear or did The Foul One just include the USS Cole bombing in the list of Iran grievances?

MS NOW just cut to the Dump speech as he was ranting about "47 years" of old scores to settle.

So Iran was obviously in league with Al Qaida who perpetrated the bombing (and who actually hated them).

In laying out his justifications for the U.S. war against Iran, President Trump mentioned a mostly forgotten Al Qaeda attack that killed 17 American sailors and wounded dozens of others 25 years ago.
...
Mr. Trump suggested a link between the Cole and Iran in a video the White House released hours into the war.
“In 2000, they knew and were probably involved with the attack on the U.S.S. Cole,” Mr. Trump said. “Many died.”
...
Yet any link he might have had to Iran has never come up in more than a decade of pretrial hearings or in hundreds of thousands of pages of evidence that prosecutors have turned over to Mr. Nashiri’s defense team, Allison F. Miller, his lead lawyer said.

So it came as a surprise to Tom Wibberley, whose son Craig, 19, was killed in the Cole attack, when Mr. Trump cited the bombing as a justification for the war against Iran. “All this testimony in all this detail has never said anything about Iran,” Mr. Wibberley said.

So this is not just a senile rambling - someone in the regime has decided to use it as an excuse.
