President Donald Trump may have been led to strike Iran alongside Israel by an "unusual pair" of allies, a new report revealed. The Washington Post reported on Saturday, citing four sources familiar with the matter, that Trump's decision to conduct a series of strikes against Iran's ballistic and nuclear missile facilities came at the behest of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who had been lobbying for the strikes for weeks, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "The combined effort helped lead Trump to order a massive aerial campaign against Iran's leadership and military, which in its initial hour led to the death of [Ayatollah Ali] Khamenei and several other senior Iranian officials," according to the report.
