Just collecting high-ranking US government officials' statements.
Joe Kent, Director of National Counterterrorism Center: "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby."
Marco Rubio, Secretary of State: "We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action, we knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn’t preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties and perhaps even higher those killed, and then we would all be here answering questions about why we knew that and didn’t act."
Donald Trump, President: "They were getting ready to attack Israel."
Karoline Leavitt, Press Secretary: "No such threat from Iran to our homeland exists, and it never did."
Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House: "Israel was determined to act with or without us."
Pentagon brief to Congress (reported by Reuters): "Trump administration officials acknowledged in closed-door briefings with congressional staff on Sunday that there was no intelligence suggesting Iran planned to attack U.S. forces first."
Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, in March 2025: "The IC continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Khamenei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program that he suspended in 2003."
Mark Warner, Vice Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee: "There was no imminent threat to the United States of America by the Iranians. There was a threat to Israel."
