There are several factors behind Trump’s war against Iran. His decision
was influenced by his desperate desire for a prestigious “little,
successful war” to divert attention from his scandal-ridden (Epstein)
and unpopular presidency as well as by Netanyahu and the Zionist lobby.
I have dealt with this in more details in this article:
*What Makes America’s War against Iran Different from Its Past Wars
since 1945?*

Washington’s strategy/*

But they are interested in making him rich, and that matters. The
industry formerly known as "defense," spent about US $8 million on
Trump in the last election cycle with multiples of that spent through
dark money groups, super PACs and issue advertising campaigns. I think
that's roughly half of fossil capital's donations to the cause. Then
there are the hedge funds like the Carlyle Group where presidents and
billionaires can profit directly from the wars that they start. Craig
Unger thought that members of the Bush family were Carlyle clients.
I cannot prove war profiteering is behind Trump's reckless use of US
weaponry and military might. But some capitalist businesses are making
money off the explosions and deaths in western Asia. And we know how
much capitalist businesses need to grow year over year. I would not be
surprised if Trump got a cut off each missile we launched, shot down,
or exploded.
