“The war’s aims won’t be achieved, the hostages won’t be returned through military pressure, security won’t be restored and Israel’s international ostracism won’t end”

    I think it’s a tell when Israel bombed Iran embassy, their plan is to provoke Iran and force the US to directly join the war.

      Incidentally, it’s the same playbook Ukraine was trying to use to get NATO directly into the war early on. They kept doing provocations like the attack on ZNPP, they hoped would force NATO to respond.

      They know they’re losing and they’re desperate for something to change the trajectory. It’s the same reason why the Kiev regime does its terrorist provocations. They want to engineer a “game changer” event so bad but they fundamentally fail to grasp that the US itself is not in as strong a position as they think.

        The only thing the US is capable of actually winning at right now is terrorizing and destroying the lives of its own citizens. At an ever increasing rate. The only thing they can win at is in situations where they have already set themselves up to be unopposable.

          Seems to be a theme with settler states and colonialism. Sounds very much like how Israel can manage to genocide children, but is terrible at fighting actual armed adults. Or how US cops can gun down an unarmed civilian who is running away from them, but sit on their hands outside, afraid, when faced with taking on a school shooter.
