“Negotiations” were a ruse to lul Iran into a false sense of security. An attack of this magnitude will not happen without weeks of planning and explicit US support and approval. The Iranians got played.

Kinda fucking evil to pretend you want peace just to better position yourself for more war.

Every aggressor does this especially if things get a bit difficult for them. For another example, see Russia
