Rubio's 'We Knew Israel Would Strike' Claim

It's News Day Tuesday on The Majority Report On today's program: CNN airs a compilation of several members of the Trump administration and GOP politicians contradicting themselves on whether or not we are at "war" with Iran. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says that the U.S. struck Iran because they knew Israel was going to take action in Iran and that would precipitate actions against American forces in the area. Annelle Sheline, a Middle East research fellow at the Quincy Institute, joins the program to discuss the war's foreign policy dimensions. Seamus Malekafzali, co-host of Turbulence podcast joins the program to discuss the on-the-ground situation in Iran. For more from Seamus subscribe to his Substack. In the Fun Half: Speaker of the House Mike Johnson reaffirms Marco Rubio's claims that we had to strike Iran because they knew of an Israel action that would lead to an attack on American forces. Donald Trump contradicts both Rubio and Johnson and claims that he wanted to strike first and that he "forced Israel's hand". Bibi Netanyahu goes on Hannity and says that he did not drag Trump into this war despite what Rubio and Johnson have claimed. The Third Way's "Winning the Middle" conference is as infuriating as it sounds.
