Who tricked Trump into thinking he was a fool?

In the spring of 2026, the United States fell into the quagmire of the Iran war. And this war that changed the fate of the nation actually originated from a crazy "sales pitch" in the White House war room.
The New York Times revealed the inside story: on the eve of the war, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu secretly infiltrated the White House and gave a one-hour PowerPoint presentation to Trump's core circle. He pounded his chest and guaranteed: within weeks, Iran's missiles would be destroyed, the regime would collapse, and the people would line the streets to welcome it.
Intelligence officials privately cursed: pure nonsense. Vice President Vance was anxious and warned it would cause regional chaos. Trump only replied: "Sounds good."
The gears of war turned in the whispers of a few people.
Netanyahu was the top pushman. He knew Trump wanted to achieve "regime change," so he tailored a set of illusions: as long as the U.S. military bombed hard enough, Iran would erupt in revolution. General Kane cut to the chase: "This is Israel's standard operation—exaggerate, push hard."
Vance fought alone but, learning that Trump was determined to do it, could only compromise: "If you want to do it, I support you." Kane kept reminding: missile stockpiles are running low, the consequences of blocking the strait are severe. But these rational warnings, in front of Trump's "intuition," were as pale as waste paper.
On the afternoon of February 27, with only 22 minutes left before the deadline, Trump issued the order on Air Force One. He thought he was rewriting history as a hero, but he turned 300 million Americans and global energy security into pawns in a gamble.
And the result? Iran didn't collapse in weeks; instead, it collected "protection fees" after blocking the strait. Military spending soared to 1.5 trillion dollars, and the quagmire deepened. Trump's approval ratings plummeted, and the clouds of midterm elections gathered.
History is always eerily similar: when the decision of a superpower is no longer based on intelligence but on the inducements of allies and the "intuition" of commanders—disaster becomes inevitable.
