Every administration has been eyeballing Iran for the last forty years, at least. Going to war with them is the golden goose.
Every politician until a general quietly informs them that Iran can easily sink a carrier.
Everyone wants to do an Operation Praying Mantis, and walk into the briefing room the next day and yell "WHAT'S UP NOW" and then run the meetings from then on. I suspect that it's a strong motivating factor behind a lot of things which actually aren't in the best interests of any country from the standpoint of the people in the country.
