Trump's Iran War Plan: Divided Advisers, Netanyahu's Push

0:00On April 8, in the White House situation room, Donald Trump's top advisors huddled for two-and-a-half weeks, plotting a big military push against Iran. Earlier this week on February 11, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu joined them in person for a rare briefing, laying out why now was. The time for regime change, promising quick wins on missiles and uprisings with Mossad help. U.S. intelligence pushed back hard the next day, calling the full overthrow far school and unrealistic, though they saw hits on leadership as doable. Vice President J.D. Vance led the charge against it, warning of regional chaos, ammo shortages, and sky-high oil prices at the straight of Hormuz closed. While the fence secretary Pete Hegseth pushed a strike now and other state cautious. Trump brushed off the doubts, betting on a fast victory like past stops, driven by his gut and a loyal team that saw him as unstoppable, paving the way. For war without full buy-in.
