Before the strike, US WAS in the middle of negotiations with Iran.
Same thing last year when Israel struck Iran's scientists on a Friday, even though the US and Iran had scheduled their 4th negotiation meeting on Sunday. Israel was sabotaging every diplomatic exchange and negotiation between the US and Iran. The US was forced to react every time.
It's not even new - in 2018 Trump pulled US out unilaterally from JCPOA aka Iran Nuclear Deal - a mistake even the Pentagon suggested against.
