No, it's the China containment policy, and invading Iran was already planned many years ago before Trump was around. It's geopolitics and the empire is trying to force those who defy it to bend the knee.

Iran has consistently been against the bullshit wars and genocides in the region, and helping resistance groups like Hezbollah.

It's not about Trump. It's somewhat about Israel, as Israel is the "unsinkable carrier" in the Middle East. Quoting Biden: "if Israel didn't exist, we'd have to invent it". But the tail doesn't wag the dog.
