Some evidence has been shared with the public, and the administration has lied about it.

Here are the videos he's referring to, let me know if you see any bags of fentanyl: https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/1151367989097..., https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/1152335554451..., https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/1153737518118..., https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/1153966324414...

Beyond this administration, the US government has a documented history of lying about the justification for military action. When people are being killed it is irresponsible to assume, with no evidence, that they are telling the truth this time.

I am not assuming the strikes are baseless, I am stating that there is no evidence for any basis, so discussing if they might be justified if some hypothetical evidence existed is pointless.
