AP traces how Trump’s move to strike Iran evolved from doubts about nuclear talks to a rapid, multi-target mission: despite intelligence noting no imminent Iranian attack, officials announced hundreds of strikes on IRGC facilities and air defenses, with Defense Secretary saying it’s not a regime-change war and White House forecasting a four- to five-week campaign (possible longer), while regional partners adjusted and markets reacted.
