Also, the current US president at least has been fine with US forces directly blowing up Iranians and Iranian installations. (Also, for the matter, with Iranians blowing up Americans.) It's only within the brute logic of geopolitics that they can say with a straight face that Iran "must not" attack Americans.
Every administration has been eyeballing Iran for the last forty years, at least. Going to war with them is the golden goose.
Every politician until a general quietly informs them that Iran can easily sink a carrier.
Everyone wants to do an Operation Praying Mantis, and walk into the briefing room the next day and yell "WHAT'S UP NOW" and then run the meetings from then on. I suspect that it's a strong motivating factor behind a lot of things which actually aren't in the best interests of any country from the standpoint of the people in the country.
