In reality, he wants war more than anything so he
can play with his weapons and nuke people like he
tried to do during his first term.
I really think he wanted a war with Iran to the
point that I think it's very possible that he struck a
secret deal with Bibi -- that Bibi would strike Iran
and the USA would provide weapons and missile
defense (which they did, the day after.)

Kinda justifies why Israel had real fear that an Iranian nuke could and would be used successfully.
Any of those missiles could have actually been a nuke if they had one
