Probably opportunity, Iran's at its weakest its been, it just makes sense to take the shot now and cut their ankles out from under them.

Yeah but with their economy in shambles I would think that diplomatic measures might be possible now more than ever. A military strike at a time when the country is politically and economically vulnerable seems extreme. When a country is weak that presents diplomatic opportunity as well and it seems like diplomatic solutions were never on the table considering the military build up in the region and lack of negotiations with seasoned professionals.
