US officially admits it launched war on Iran for Israel
The US State Department’s official [page](https://archive.li/RDInQ) on its [illegal war](https://www.thecanary.co/skwawkbox/2026/04/09/iran-yvette-cooper/) with Iran admits it launched the war at Israel’s request. It also adds that it has confirmed this repeatedly to the United Nations:
US in bed with Israel
---------------------
Not that this is any surprise to anyone paying attention, but it’s nice to see it admitted. ‘Operation Epic Fury’ has been [dubbed](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9KXZlSDeeE) ‘Operation [Epstein Distraction](https://www.thecanary.co/skwawkbox/2026/03/07/trump-war-on-iran-branded/)‘ for Trump appearing to launch it to divert media attention from his ‘alleged’ crimes committed with the ‘deceased’ serial child-rapist. But as Epstein was/is an Israeli spy, there’s really no conflict between the two positions.
‘Request’ is doing some heavy lifting, though. Secretary of State Marco Rubio admitted that Israel manoeuvred Trump into the war. Netanyahu’s furious visit to jolt Trump into action has led many to conclude that the wanted Israeli war criminal threatened to release some of Epstein’s worst info on Trump to twist his arm. Certainly that’s what ex-Israeli intelligence officer Ari Ben-Menashe [believes](https://www.facebook.com/groups/Normanfrankelestian/posts/34338160605831125/).
Even Trump’s ‘MAGA’ base in the US is [getting tired of Trump’s ‘Israel first’ policies](https://www.newarab.com/opinion/maga-turns-zionism-israel-first-right-stokes-islamophobia), however. So seeing it in print that the US is wasting hundreds of billions and [most of its weapon stocks](https://www.thecanary.co/skwawkbox/2026/04/23/us-has-used-half/) to appease Benjamin Netanyahu and his imperial ambitions is not likely to fly too well.
