The war in Iran is a war fought because Donald Trump chose this course of action.

The big question is why Trump chose to launch a war with Iran.
Trump had an answer, and it wasn’t a good one.
The president said:
The situation was approaching the point of no return very quickly, and the United States found it intolerable, in my opinion, based on what Steve, Jared, Pete and others told me. Marco was so involved that I thought they were going to attack us. I thought they would. If we didn’t do it when we did, I think they had it in mind to attack us.

Trump launched a war that left Americans and Iranians killed while destabilizing the Middle East and harming the global economy because he felt Iran was going to attack the United States.
Note that Trump presented no evidence that Iran was going to attack the United States.
Donald Trump’s reasoning is so flimsy that he makes George W. Bush’s claims about weapons of mass destruction before the Iraq war seem like irrefutable facts.
Trump has no evidence, only a feeling, and after a decade the vast majority of Americans know that Trump’s feelings and instincts are still wrong.
The president, who thinks we should trust his mind, was just warming up, because he then told people that this gas price spike wasn’t really happening.
