Is a Larger Middle East War Imminent?
Israel has been provoking Iran into an attack for the last three years by its regular bombing of Iranian bases in Syria, which so far has not worked. Seemingly to increase the provocation, In the first week of April, Israel bombed Iran’s embassy in Damascus, which is a clear violation of diplomatic immunity and which no nation does including in wartime out of respect to other nation’s diplomatic missions. This bombing provocation went even further than violating embassy sovereignty by Israel killing several of Iran’s high ranking military officers which were meeting in an embassy annex at the time. Israel could not have known about this meeting without high level penetration of Iranian and Syrian governments by Israeli spies. So, just as the war on Hamas was started by inviting the attack by the IDF pulling out most of its soldiers from Southern Israel and leaving it wide open and vulnerable, Israel is apparently itching for a fight with Iran by provoking it. In short, if war comes, Israel will be just as responsible for it as Iran.
As Israel’s most important ally, the US will also be drawn into the fight, and the major war that ensues with Iran will deplete US supplies of weapons and munitions much lower than during its current aid to Israel and Ukraine, leaving America even more vulnerable to the major world war still to come with China and Russia. Iran’s military is formidable, so the US and Israel will also suffer many casualties. …
