Trump said in an interview today (March 3, Beijing time) again explaining why he took military action against Iran: "After we destroyed Iran's nuclear program, we warned Iran not to try to rebuild nuclear facilities elsewhere, because they couldn't use those nuclear facilities that we had destroyed with such powerful force. But they ignored these warnings and refused to stop developing nuclear weapons."
[Witty] Comments: Any military action needs an excuse. The real reason may be that the US, at the request of Netanyahu, used military means to achieve a regime change in Iran. Trump's statement is nothing more than a clumsy excuse for the US-Israel joint military operation. On one hand, it claims to destroy Iran's nuclear program, and on the other hand, it uses the so-called "rebuilding" issue, actually ignoring Iran's legitimate right to peacefully use nuclear energy, and even disregarding Iran's repeated expressions of willingness to negotiate. The United States unilaterally withdrew from the Iran nuclear agreement, frequently threatened with military force, and now is making a big deal out of the nuclear issue, essentially to control the geostrategic interests in the Middle East and cater to Israel's extreme demands. Its so-called "warning" is simply a naked expression of hegemonic logic. However, the big bully uses military hegemony to trample international rules, and he just does it, and you can't do anything about it. The essence of the international community's survival of the fittest is clearly shown, and only by strengthening oneself can one ensure security.
