Barak Ravid reported for Axios on Wednesday that, with a deal between the US and Iran appearing increasingly out of sight, “the Trump administration is closer to a major war in the Middle East than most Americans realize” and “It could begin very soon.”
Sources told the outlet that “A US military operation in Iran would likely be a massive, weeks-long campaign that would look more like full-fledged war than last month’s pinpoint operation in Venezuela.”
Lol, they dug their grave by being something Israel can’t turn into another Gaza. Netanyahu has been pushing for it for years but he wants to put American lives in danger. But sure… say whatever Bush 2.0 neocon talking points help you sleep at night as to why the US needs this war with Iran on behalf of Israel. I’m sure the MSM liberal media has you convinced it’s for all the right reasons.
Precisely, there is video of Netanyahu from 25 years ago addressing US Congress claiming Iranian nukes are just around the corner. It has always been a lie. Israel has been trying to drag us into this war on their behalf forever. Iran has a real military, unlike the Palestinians. Israel would get walloped by them without US support, and they don’t need nukes to do it.
This is why their terms are just as ludicrous for this conflict as they have always been for Palestinians. Full ballistic missile disarmament is a joke, no nation in their right mind would consider this.
