7. Israel is always going to put its own national interests first

I suppose that's because they are always prepared for an attack.

The reasons the US cites are actually credible, but Israel will do what it thinks is best for itself. Isreal is interested in destroying Iran's capability to do it harm. If that means destroying military targets and critical non-military infrastructure, that's what they'll continue to do.

Trump is interested in the daily stock market and gas prices shooting up in the US. Israel doesn't care about either of those things.
