Report: Netanyahu, Trump planned Iran strike far in advance, ran deception campaign

I guess I owe an apology for at least some of the times I was upset by what was reported. Whew! [IsraelTimes] Washington Post says two leaders began plotting attack in February, leaked false stories to US, Israeli media painting daylight between Jerusalem’s and Washington’s Iran policies
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump
...They hit him with slander, they impeached him twice. Nancy Pelosi tore up his State of the Union address on national TV. They stole an election and put his adherents in jail. They vilified him. They couldn't crucify him, so they shot him. Still, they can't keep him down...
began planning for a potential strike on Iran’s nuclear program after their first meeting in February, and developed an elaborate public deception program, The Washington Post reported Wednesday.
During their February meeting, Netanyahu presented Trump with four options on what an attack on Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
could look like, according to the report. The four scenarios were an exclusively Israeli attack, an attack led by Israel with minimal US help, full collaboration, and a US-led assault.
While Trump chose to give nuclear diplomacy an opportunity, the intelligence-sharing and preparations for an attack continued, per the report. "The thinking was, if talks fail, we are ready to go," said one person familiar with the details.
Good strategy, as they knew talks would ultimately fail
As they moved closer to a strike, the two leaders sought to lull Iran into complacency.
On June 12, Trump said that he preferred a negotiated solution to a military strike. Israeli officials leaked word that top Netanyahu adviser Ron Dermer and Mosssd
 ...sees all, knows all, gets 'em all in the end...
director David Barnea would be meeting senior White House envoy Steve Witkoff in the near future, and a round of nuclear talks between the US and Iran was scheduled for June 15.
Both countries also leaked signs that there were tensions between the two allies: "All the reports that were written about Bibi not being on the same page with Witkoff or Trump were not true," said someone familiar with the details. "But it was good that this was the general perception; it helped to move on with the planning without many people noticing it."
According to the US outlet, the Mossad intelligence agency armed more than 100 Iranian agents, some of whom were trained in Israel.
They were given specific missions, but were not told that it was part of a broad assault on Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile program.
"This operation is unprecedented in history," an Israeli official said. "We mobilized our own assets and agents to go close to Tehran and launch the ground operation before the air force could enter Iranian airspace."
Some Iranian agents were given a three-piece "special weapon" designed for precision strikes, a senior Israeli security official added.
Iran managed to retrieve some of the launchers, but not the missiles or a "secret third component," said the Israeli official.
Israel also assassinated 11 senior Iranian nuclear scientists in the early stages of the attack, in what it called Operation Narnia. To prepare, according to The Washington Post, Israel chose around a dozen top scientists from an initial list of 100, and closely tracked each one and their movements, homes, and work.
A senior Israeli intelligence officer said that Israel tried to minimize collateral damage as much as possible, though dozens of non-combatants were killed in the strikes.
During the war, while Israel was hammering Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs, Trump made another, secret offer to Iran on June 15. The offer was far less favorable to Iran than previous ones, and would see Iran stop supporting armed proxies and shut down its enrichment facilities. Trump would then lift all sanctions, according to the offer.
The US sent the offer to Iran via Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
, but the Iranians rejected it, and Trump decided to join the Israeli operation, according to a senior diplomat.
Israel said its sweeping assault on Iran’s top military leaders, nuclear scientists, uranium enrichment sites, and ballistic missile program was necessary to prevent the Islamic Theocratic Republic from realizing its avowed plan to destroy the Jewish state.
Iran has consistently denied seeking to acquire nuclear weapons. However,
Caliphornia hasn't yet slid into the ocean, no matter how hard it's tried...
it enriched uranium to levels that have no peaceful application, obstructed international inspectors from checking its nuclear facilities, and expanded its ballistic missile capabilities.
Israel said Iran had recently taken steps toward weaponization. Iran retaliated to Israel’s strikes by launching over 500 ballistic missiles and around 1,100 drones at Israel.
The attacks killed 32 people and maimed over 3,000 in Israel, according to health officials and hospitals.
In all, there were 36 missile impacts and one dronezap in populated areas, causing damage to 2,305 homes in 240 buildings, along with two universities and a hospital, and leaving over 13,000 Israelis displaced.
