I DID NOT KNOW THIS ~ Trump may have been set up by Bibi Netanyahu?!
Gleaned from a compilation of comments on twitter/X:
Trump's speech refers to Israel's absence or non-involvement in the military operation that led to the killing of Qasem Soleimani.
Soleimani was an Iranian Major General in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and was killed in a U.S. drone strike in January 2020.
This operation was a significant and controversial event that escalated tensions between the United States and Iran.
The absence of Israel's participation might be seen as ‘noteworthy’ given that Israel is a key U.S. ally in the Middle East and has its own set of complex relationships and tensions with Iran.
And also, because it was Israel who told Trump that Soleimani was going to launch attacks on US bases in the region – later revealed to be a BIG LIE – leading to the death of Soleimani, and the realization that Israel had purposely misled Trump and left him holding the bag.
Your 1st 4 bullet points are spot on. The fifth one is off. Solemani was an Iranian Republican Guards asset who was personally responsible for developing IEDs deployed against American troops during Desert Storm and was a known regional terroist for decades. The planned attack against a US base was not a lie - he was blown up outside that base he was intending to attack.
If you listened Trump you'd know that Bibi tried to take credit for snuff when he had nothing to do with the operation. There was not any of this Trump "holding the bag" bullshit.
The embassy had just been attacked immediately prior to Soleimani being targeted. I don’t recall anything about bases being targeted in the area.
I didn’t know that either. Very interesting
