Typifying a nation state by to it's goals, rhetoric, and past actions is not antisemitic, but the government of Israel definitely wants you to conflate it as such.

Maybe, but how brutal was it when we went into Afghanistan? Who did we attack when we invaded Afghanistan? Who runs that country now? For all that effort we put into getting rid of Al-Qaeda, they seem to still be running things. If I were a religious zealot, where I think my terrorism gets me into heaven, sending a message to the west in such a terrorist attack might be worth it. After all, the religious leader there is like 80-something, so he might not mind sacrificing the few years he has left for a guaranteed entry into heaven.

The cynic in me is going to bet that the Trump administration already knows an attack is coming, and they will let it happen. It's an easy reason to implement martial law. Then, with the ongoing emergency he'll always somehow manage to have manifest when people try to get him to give up power, he'll let the Iranians attack. Then, another emergency is declared.
