Today, We’re going to be talking about Israels aggressive escalation and attacks against Iran
Israel has launched what it calls “preemptive strikes against Iran” when in reality, Israel is the one who is escalating towards a potential war.
In order to get a full grasp of the severity of this escalation, we’ll have to go over some history of American and Israeli involvement in the region
The U.S. has long maintained imperial interests in the region and has actively propped up Israel as a regional watchdog to maintain those interests militarily. The 1953 American orchestrated coup, toppling Iranian democracy and securing ownership over 40% of Iranian oil perfectly highlights the interests that America has maintained in the region. The conducting of these types of operations are a role which Israel now plays for U.S. Interests.
Summarized, these interests are: Preventing the rise of popular movements which threaten the influence and control that the U.S. enjoys over the region’s natural resources and strategic positioning.
A few more examples (out of many) which highlight this role include:
- Israeli invasion of Egypt after the Egyptian President dared to kick out lingering colonial control over the Suez canal
- Repeated Israeli invasions Lebanon and the supply of weaponry and training to right wing rebel groups in order to prevent the rise of democratic movements or otherwise Nationalistic movements which sought to assert Lebanese sovereignty over Lebanon. It also served to prevent the success of a movement which could serve as an example to neighboring nations on asserting national sovereignty.
- Israel again supplied rebel groups in Iraq with weapons and trainings to destabilize a movement which sought to nationalize Iraqi oil and resources that were owned by western powers.
- Israel supplied rebel groups in Syria with weapons and training to destabilize the Syrian government, which at the time was nationalizing key industries owned by western powers.
The list could go on, however, the point is the same: Israel serves to prevent the rise of popular movements which threaten the influence and control that the U.S. enjoys over the region’s natural resources and strategic positioning.
Iran stands as the last major power and meaningful resistance against U.S.- Israeli domination in the region. The U.S. in conjunction with Israel have already squashed movements in Egypt, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran once before, have formalized relations with Syria and Jordan, and have secured the Gulf states under their umbrella.
Iran is the last piece of the puzzle.
With this history in mind, this should highlight why Israel and the U.S. have been so eager to escalate tensions with Iran over the last several decades. This should also highlight the interests involved, namely, to secure control that the U.S. enjoys over the region’s natural resources and strategic positioning.
As this is unfolding, Oil stocks have gone up 11 percent, further highlighting the interests at play amidst these rising tensions.
Lets get into the Reaction by U.S. media and statesmen. They have been pushing this line that Israel has somehow subverted Trump. Statesmen like Marco Rubio have also been pushing the line that the U.S. had nothing to do with it. Additionally, not too long ago the media was pushing the “Trump turning on Netanyahu” narrative.
Do not believe any line that you hear on the media that Israel is subverting trump and acting as a rouge entity or that “Trump cant command Netanyahu’s respect”.
The Media and Top officials have been trying to distance themselves from this provocation even though we know that the U.S. has acted in conjunction with Israel in order to lay the groundwork for this escalation.
The U.S. and Israel have been prepping for this for some time now. They have been coordinating a strategy to weaken several of Iran’s proxies to limit Iran’s threat to Israel.
- During Trump’s gulf tour, he formalized relations with Syria
- Here is a great summary provided by Zei on X, I will link it below. They had this to say concerning the formalization of Relations with Syria: This is not only to eliminate the land corridor between Iran and Hezbollah, but also to have the ISIS-fascist proxies serve as an attack force against them in the case they get involved, with an invasion of Lebanon from the East being threatened.
- Additionally, they have been targeting Hezbollah for some time now, going back to the pager attacks and long before as well. They have also continued with their Dahiyah Doctrine of destroying civilian infrastructure with Israeli authorities insisting “that it’s a legitimate tactic of war and helps deter future attacks on Israel by its enemies.” as reported by Al Jezeera.
Israel has also severely weakened Hamas with its horrific ethnic cleansing campaign and the restriction of any aid for months, only to now allow meager amounts of food with no significant improvements to aleive malnourishment.
The point here is: Israel and the U.S. over the last several months have been making moves to cripple Iranian proxies and thus cripple the threat to Israel in the event of escalating tensions with Iran, which we are now seeing.
This is not “Israel subverting Trump”, this is a deliberate plan of action to secure an American dominated status quo in the region, a status quo which goes back decades.
The purpose of this distancing that we are seeing in the media is to manufacture consent for U.S. involvement later down the line.
Let’s Elaborate: Iran has already stated that if the negotiations with the U.S. fall through and tensions escalate, they will target U.S. military bases in the region.
If the media and these state actors can successfully push the line that the U.S. had nothing to do with it, even though the U.S. and Israel have been working together on establishing the ground work for this escalation for months now, then, when Iran inevitably retaliates on Israel and the main supplier of Israel’s weaponry and their close ally, the U.S., the media can frame these retaliatory attacks as an initial provocation from Iran.
They’ll say “we had nothing to do with and they attacked us”. It’ll be an effective tool to manufacture consent for escalation towards war with Iran.
Here’s a great analysis from Ilhan Omar as well.
“Regardless of what Trump thinks, Israel knows America will do whatever they want and feels confident about their ability to get into war and have the American government pack them up. Israel also knows they can always rely on getting America to protect and serve its needs. Everyone in America should prepare themselves to either see their tax dollars being spent on weapon supplies to Israel or be dragged into war with Iran if this escalates.”
This is a direct escalation towards war with Iran that the U.S. and Israel have been pushing for, which perfectly lines up with U.S. interests in the region since the cold war.
The only people this will benefit are the aforementioned Oil stock holders and War-Time profiteers. If the U.S. heads to war or even just supports Israeli war efforts, it’ll be weapons manufacturers who will get the multi-billion dollar contracts at the immense cost of human lives.
