A quick search proves your wrong. Israeli and the US governments have long spoken of their desire to attack Iran.
Israel Wipe Out Iran
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, known as "Bibi," has stated that Israel must act against Iran to eliminate what he describes as an existential threat to Israel's survival. In a televised address following Israel's strikes on Iran, Netanyahu declared that the operation would continue for as long as necessary to remove the Iranian threat, citing Iran's nuclear program as a clear and present danger to Israel's existence.4Netanyahu framed the Israeli military action as a preemptive measure to roll back Iran's nuclear capabilities, claiming that Iran had produced enough highly enriched uranium for nine nuclear weapons. He emphasized that Iran could produce a nuclear weapon in a short time, potentially within a few months, and described this as a clear and present danger to Israel's survival.4
While Netanyahu's statements reflect a strong stance against Iran's nuclear ambitions, the U.S. response has been more measured. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the U.S. was not involved in Israel's strikes and emphasized that Israel's actions were unilateral. Rubio also warned Iran not to target U.S. interests or personnel, indicating a cautious approach by the U.S. in the conflict.4
The situation remains tense, with both sides exchanging missile strikes and threats. Iran has warned the U.S., U.K., and France not to assist Israel in defending against Iranian retaliatory strikes, while Israel continues its campaign against Iranian military and nuclear targets.2
