Venezuela operation apparently went well. His other attacks haven't had much blowback. Like magic! He just snaps his fingers and shazam! He may even have a God complex.

After the protests in Iran maybe Bibi called him one day and said this was finally their big chance to get rid of the regime and have the support of all those protestors. Maybe Lil Lindsey, Bolton, etc., advised him to go for it.

I have no idea how it ends but JCPOA knew it would require on-site inspections. Would Iran ever agree to that again?
