Could be part of their motive? I don’t agree with it, but part of the reason Israel seems to be trying to provoke Iran, and the US is totally supportive and seemingly egging them on, is the US wants a war with Iran so they can get their gold.

Much like with Saddam, Khadafi and many others in the past. The US doesn’t buy gold like everyone else, they steal it after engaging in sensless, unprovoked wars! https://goldseek.com/article/irans-gold-imports-surge-sixfold-part-sanctions-workaround
