Reality: Multiple surprise attacks launched by Israel, including killing Irans diplomatic negotiators while actively negotiating.

If they were negotiating something, then clearly it didn't start there either. This supports my position that 1) this isn't a simple black and white question and 2) "who started it" depends on the date we decide to pick.

We can argue if it's right to do that while negotiations are going on, but that's a different question.

I think it's rather obvious that it didn't start with israel killing negotiators.
