Biden is itching for a "safe" minor war with somebody to boost his ratings and mentioned Iran a few times last week by saying that if they get involved then America will have Israels back. He knows Iran can't damage America so are a safe target to go after.
It's more than that.
Two weeks ago Israel is under pressure for a ceasefire, the U.S. and U.K. under pressure to curtail arms sales.
Then low and behold, Israel launches an attack on an Iranian consulate. No more talk of Gaza, ceasefire or arms sales. For the past 10 days we've heard nothing but Iran Iran Iran.
Even though Iran stated there would be no retaliation if a ceasefire was established in Gaza. All ignored by the White House while they carried on goading for a fight.
Hmmm not planned at all obviously.
Netanyahu is a maniac, he's on a mad trip and only utter fruitcakes think this escalates and ends well.
