President Trump ordered strikes against Iran with stated goals of preventing threats to U.S. security, but analysts say the military action primarily benefits Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rather than serving U.S. interests or Trump's stated policy ideology. The strikes came amid U.S.-Iran diplomatic negotiations and contradict Trump's earlier criticism of interventionist wars, with only 21 percent of Americans supporting a war with Iran according to recent polling.
