“In a press conference with Tanaichi, Trump was asked why he hadn’t advised U.S. allies of the attack on Iran prior to it being initiated. In an interesting reveal — albeit somewhat impolitic — Trump used the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor to justify the U.S. surprise attack on Iran. He stated: ‘Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor, OK?’ Yet, doesn’t Trump’s answer raise the question I raised in my article: Should the official narrative on the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor now be revised, given that the U.S. government is now using it to justify its sneak attack on Iran?” (03/24/26)
