Donald Trump absurdly claims that his unprovoked, sudden attack of Iran was to prevent Iran from attacking the US first.
Not only is this a lie based on all authentic evidence but Donald Trump and Bibi Netanyahu's unprovoked attacks against Iran are 100% responsible for Iran's response to defend itself which is wreaking havoc in the world right now, especially in the oil markets.
To claim anything else is just complete denial of the authentic facts and truth.

The law of unintended consequences!
https://www.sas.upenn.edu/~haroldfs/540/handouts/french/unintconseq.html
The first and most complete analysis of the concept of unintended consequences was done in 1936 by the American sociologist Robert K. Merton. In an influential article titled "The Unanticipated Consequences of Purposive Social Action," Merton identified five sources of unanticipated consequences. The first two, and the most pervasive, were ignorance and error.
Merton labeled the third source the "imperious immediacy of interest." By that he was referring to instances in which an individual wants the intended consequence of an action so much that he purposefully chooses to ignore any unintended effects.

Unexpected drawbacks – This type of unintended consequence occurs when the goal is to improve “A,” we later learn that we made “B” worse in the process. These are also referred to as “externalities.” The mass adoption of the automobile in the early part of the 20th century provided many benefits but created unexpected drawbacks such as air pollution and car accidents.
Perverse results – ‘Perverse Results’ happen when our goal is to improve “A” but we actually make “A” worse. These are often the most frustrating category of unintended consequences.

“I guess what I’m concerned about, one thing is, even in your printed testimony today … in your last paragraph on page six says, ‘As a result of Operation Midnight Hammer, Iran’s nuclear enrichment program was obliterated. There has been no efforts to try to rebuild their enrichment capability,’” Warner read. “You omitted that paragraph from your oral opening. Was that because the president said there was a imminent threat two weeks [ago]?”
In all of human history, nobody has ever recovered from progressive dementia.
