I would contend that AIPAC, American (and European) arms manufacturers, and the State Department want a war with Iran. My guess is they can get, extra to RINOs, some populist reps on board if they implicate Iran as a Communist Chinese ally and regime change as a way to kick dirt onto the OBOR, as well as one way of choking oil supply to Beijing, though its reserves are sizeable and its favorable relationship with Russia will keep them liquid.
I'd say Iran's boldness is resultant of Bibi no longer being at the helm in Israel and trying to use international tension to solidify domestic unity granted the pandemic has gutted them, and American sanctions have greatly exacerbated the impact.
Iran is acting up right now for the same reason Russia is acting up, which is the same reason North Korea is acting up and the same reason Al Qaeda is acting up, as well as every other US adversary on the face of the earth: They've detected weakness in the White House, and in order to raise their prestige, these adversaries are taking advantage like a pack of hyenas nipping at a tired, alzheimer's-addled lion as it lays there dying.
The problem with that theory is that nobody wants a war with Iran right now. That's why Iran is being bold: They know they can get away with it.

Too bad not one of those entities was a party to what happened here.
Prove that the UK want war with Iran. They're the ones who were attacked.
