Not long ago, Donald Trump had little patience with the idea of full-scale wars with Iran.
The 12-day war between Israel and Iran in June last year, he said, could have “gone on for years and destroyed the entire Middle East”, had Mr Trump himself not bluntly told Benjamin Netanyahu it had to stop.
Eight months later, Mr Trump has ordered a full-scale bombing campaign aimed at nothing less than the overthrow of the Islamic Republic of Iran itself. This time, he and Netanyahu seem to be working hand-in-hand on the same project.
'The Iranian people in Iran are so happy… nobody likes the war but the Islamic Republic have been killing people for 47 years.'
