I think I might have figured it out.
During the Iran hostage crisis, the Iranians discovered a huge cache of extremely damaging intel regarding, amongst other things, evidence of blackmail carried out by both American and Israeli intel agencies, against high profile individuals, politicians, CEOs religious leaders etc, and with this intel, the Iranians have mapped out the blackmail rings and the extortion plots.
They obviously made the link between these extortion/blackmail plots and the Epstein complex, and and now have proof to take these scumbags down.
Iran has the Epstein Files
As you can imagine, these scumbags now know the game is up, and unless they can destroy the evidence, they will all hang.
This is why they are bombing Iran, to get rid of the evidence.
But there is another angle, and that is that it appears that the US may be giving advance warning to the Iranian authorities regarding these "elimination raids", which allows them to escape and retain the files intact.
Why?
To map out the bad actors within the US military and the agencies.
Remember Trump said the second stage is about to begin? and its time for arrests?
They discovered the bad guys, its all mapped out, they caught them all.
Let the hangings be public.
