lol who actually believes that bullshit. They've been saying they are a "week or two away" from having nukes for like 15+ years. 

More like Israel has Epstein dirt on Trump and now is the best time to play their card, before Trump loses badly in the mid-term elections and becomes a lame duck president. 

That sounds like a conspiracy to me lol.
Isn't it more likely that the US intelligence agencies actually found some proof of some sort, and decided now was the time to act ?

Also, if your telling someone for over 15 years as you said, to stop trying to develope Nukes.... and they don't listen.
Yeah... at some point, either all your talk is worthless.... or you do something about it.

Basically I believe what you call BS.

I don't think the US would start a war for fun or to distract or whatever weird reasoning you think more likely.

Developing nukes can't possibly take 15 years, even with some setbacks. Iran must have consciously chosen to not take the final steps. If Iran finally decided to actually pursue nukes, it was because of the strikes last summer, and guess who did that? If there was any urgent threat, it was because of Trump. If this was more of a future thing, e.g. for the time after Khamenei's death, that's another thing, but it was also not urgent.

I say this is Trump wanting to leave a mark, and triggering a regime change in Iran would definitely be one way to leave a mark. Trump is old enough to probably care about his legacy a lot, and his legacy until the start of his second term probably wasn't particularly notable. Before his second term, he would probably have been remembered as the president that stirred up the pot and not much more.
