The war in Iran (or whose war is it anyways?)

The problem is:
- Trump made the same foolish mistake other authoritarians do, including (and likely inspired by) Putin. Trump purged those that would not pledge loyalty to Trump.
- So when Trump chose to act on his will-o'-the-wisp fantasy of vanquishing Iran as easily as capturing Venezuela's Maduro, there was no body to warn Trump against it.

Though the political rhetoric in the U.S. is conspicuously bloated, it seems Iran has been a bad actor in the Middle East for many years.
Your point about Uranium may be true, but irrelevant. By Trump's own authoritative decree the U.S. already destroyed Iran's nuclear weapons infrastructure. So why did Trump opt to go back for a second bite of the apple?

Either Trump lied about the first bite, OR
Trump misrepresents his motives for this second one.
