This is a bit nuts. USA has hated iran since the revolution. Trump himself has talked about blowing up iran since long before he was in power. The geopolitical situation favoured it (while still being highly risky) like no other time previously in history.

Not everything is about epstein.

> USA has hated iran since the revolution.

Since the revolutionaries declared themselves enemies of America, took hostage US embassy workers and tortured them for over a year.*

Agreed that this isn’t about Epstein though. According to the Biden DoJ, Iran attempted to assassinate Trump. He’s rather vindictive.
