Trump has already claimed that he has destroyed all nuclear capability of Iran at the previous attack done by USA against Iran.
Claiming now that this other attack has the same purpose makes certain that USA has lied either at the previous attack or at the current attack.
When the government of a country is a proven liar, no allegations about how dangerous another country is are credible.
Moreover, just before the attack, during the negotiations between USA and Iran it was said that Iran accepted most of the new American requests regarding their nuclear capabilities, which had the goal to prevent them from making any weapons, but their willingness to make concessions did not help them at all to avoid a surprise attack before the end of the negotiations.

That's cherry-picking. The Iranians said things, Trump said some other things, and your comment chooses to selectively believe some things the Iranians said (that their nuclear program wasn't entirely dismantled, in contradiction to Trump's claims) but not others (that they weren't pursuing nuclear weapons and the late Khamenei considered them immoral). It's now believed Israel was planning to kill Khamenei regardless of any nuclear talks, and forced the hand of the US.
Iran wasn't a threat to the US.
I don't care what Trump says. I care what the Iranians say. Here is an Iranian, Persian language interview with Ali Motahari, deputy speaker of the Iranian parliament:

He says:
In English:Like I said, you're cherry-picking. You believe some of what the Iranians say, and not the rest. You believe some of what Trump says, but not the rest.
And you do care what Trump says, since you're buying his bogus, self-contradicting justification for going to war with Iran.
Iran wasn't a threat to the US.
Edit: that 2022 interview you quoted from an Iranian not affiliated to any nuclear program or knowledgeable about it, and which later recanted/clarified it, has problems to say the least. Another example of cherry-picking. I'm not surprised it has since been amplified by Trump (a person whose opinion you don't care about) and by various Israeli news outlets.
So you claim that this high ranking Iranian government official was lying?
Judging from what I've read, he claims that's not what he was saying, and that it was his personal opinion at the time since he wasn't involved in any nuclear program. You're latching to one person's words, since recanted/corrected, because it helps the narrative you like: cherry-picking.
More importantly, do you claim Trump was lying? (I do, to be clear, but do you?).
Let me repeat it because this is important: Iran posed no threat to the US.

I'm not an expert. Probably anti Western sentiment, anti any former allies of the deposed Shah, and pro Palestinian sentiment.
But in reality this doesn't matter, because you're now moving the goalposts: I didn't argue that Iran wasn't hostile to Israel.
I claimed that Iran's nuclear program was already destroyed for 10+ years (mission success, as claimed last year with total certainty by Trump), and that Iran didn't pose a threat to the US.
Now, if the US wants to fight Israel's wars, that's cool and dandy, but the majority of Americans don't support this. Remember "America First"?
