This is the price you pay for not talking with the President.

If Trump's warnings of the past week or two were less than specific, news reports throughout the week or more of US military assets being positioned to the area - especially the B-2s and KC-135 and KC-46 tankers - should have told Iranian leaders what was coming.
Iran has been playing the US and other countries for several decades - sometimes with placation and aid from anti-Israel MalAdministrations and the Israel-Hating antisemitic Foggy Bottom. Iran's Mullahcrats had convinced themselves that Israel would not dare attack them and that the US would not do, well, what Trump did.
In all the attacks, were Iran's "navy" and their bases taken out? That is needed to make the Strait of Hormuz something in the neighborhood of safe. Iran's military needs to be bombed back into the 1940s or 1930s.

I was thinking about the red bolded today. If the MagicMuslim and SloJo would have treated that regime like the animals that they are instead of giving them funding, would Trump's attack have been needed? Would the October 7 on Israel even have happened? How many people have died as a result of their actions (and lack thereof)?

Trump's Decision to Bomb Iran Exposes the Failures of Previous U.S. Leadership at Highest Level

By the early 1990s, Russia and China (with North Korean technicians) were accelerating Iran's bomb development. Everything was going well for Iran and it was on track to possess a nuclear weapon sometime in the early 2000s.
The 9/11 attacks on America changed that. George W. Bush showed America's resolve to do battle with terrorist-supporting states in Iraq, and the Muslim fanatics in Iran decided to hold off on production of a weapon. However, research into enrichment, bomb design, and other related issues that were necessary to build a weapon of mass destruction continued.
While the CIA was telling presidents that the Iranians had stopped trying to build a bomb in 2003 after the U.S. invasion of Iraq, work continued on a bomb until the window to prevent Iran from building a nuclear weapon closed.
Trump's decision to strike Iran's nuclear facilities was more than 40 years in the making and represents a generational failure of leadership of historic proportions. Each president in turn—beginning with George H. W. Bush, through Clinton, George W. Bush, Obama, the first Trump administration, and Joe Biden—acknowledged the Iranian threat of a nuclear weapon but refused to act on it.
...
The signs indicating Iran's intention have been there for anyone to see. George W. Bush almost ordered a strike on Iran's underground nuclear facilities in 2008, ultimately rejecting Israel's pleas to bomb Natanz, which, at the time, was the only nuclear enrichment site in Iran. Dozens of stories prior to Bush ultimately rejecting the idea of a strike claimed Bush was going to bomb Iran because Vice President Dick Cheney wanted it. Crazy times.
...
Getting Barack Obama to take out Iran’s nuclear facilities was a hopeless cause. If he wasn't actively encouraging Iran to build a nuclear weapon, he certainly didn't do much to stop it. The nuclear agreement Obama engineered allowed Iran to improve the efficiency of its centrifuges and gave Iran permission to construct up to 5,000 of the machines. The stupidity of this agreement was evident when Iran began interpreting the deal far differently than the original agreement called for.

Go back farther than that. Jimmy Carter shares he blame for all of what has happened with Iran since 1972. He did worse than just drop the ball on how to handle them he looked the other way. I get it that the Shah wasn't o great for Iran but given a choice of who to deal with then we could have found a better way to have someone lead the country than then a bunch of crazy terrorists.
