This is a somewhat disengenuous article. Initially the Whitehouse couldn't even explain why they were attacking Iran. They responded as if they didn't expect to be asked. Then they gave nonsense answers. Then eventually, Marco Rubio said the U.S. had attacked at the behest of Isreal. Nothing in those answers is about foreign intelligence, or strategy, or even something resembling a plan. The word plan imples the US has a goal. It does not. Isreal has a goal. The US is merely a conveyance.

The Israelis, the Saudis, and the Egyptians all have reasons to see their rival Iran smashed.

The Russians want to see the US dragged into a "Special Operation" and to have the global oil markets collapse so they can buoy their collapsing economy with oil money.

China is just watching it happen but ratcheting up propaganda.

This is painfully obvious to virtually everyone except the US taxpayer, or the shillbots that control their viewpoints.

This is not good for Israel either, certainly not Israel's civil society. It's about Netanyahu's personal goals of self-aggrandizement, which are ultimately not that dissimilar from President Trump's.
