"Does the tail wag the dog? The truth is the dog & the tail are wagging each other".
Israel is Washington’s most favoured client state. It has to operate within ME “security” parameters laid down by the US.
At the same time, Israel influences "those parameters in its own interests, chiefly by shaping military, political & cultural discourse in the US through the many levers available to it."

Report: Iran says it is mobilising 1 million fighters to counter "a suicidal US ground war on Iranian soil".
It is "particularly focused on defending the strategic Kharg Island, from where nearly 90% of Iran’s oil is exported."
"In addition to the million-man force already equipped for ground combat [is] a massive surge in applications from Iranian youth."

"Iran Rejects U.S. Narrative That It Must Adhere to Trump’s Disingenuous Negotiation Framework"
"Tehran put forward its own terms to end the war, despite claims it has not responded to Trump".
Iran "remains deeply skeptical of Trump’s sincerity and cannot rule out that the entire process is a smokescreen ahead of a major military escalation."

Iran’s five conditions to end the war:
* complete halt to “aggression & assassinations”
* concrete mechanisms to ensure the war is not reimposed
* guaranteed & clearly defined payment of war damages & reparations
* conclusion of the war across all fronts & for all resistance groups involved throughout the region
* international recognition & guarantees regarding Iran’s sovereign right re Strait of Hormuz.

Ahh, yes, you used the word ‘crusade’. Most apt. I recall thinking about the US fundamentalist christians seemingly running things over there and was reminded how like the Crusades of old the whole scene is. Back then it was a power conflict within Europe (Kings against Barons, Royal Houses against the Papacy and the power of the Church) that sent war-mongers and brainwashed people off to fight for ‘God’, for ‘Christ’ while those pulling the strings filled their pockets with gold. And those who did their bidding committed all sorts of abominable things in the name of christianity in the Middle East and near Middle East. Somethings just don’t change.

Analysis: "Veterans warn US landing could be more Gallipoli than Vietnam"
Trump is deploying troops from 82nd Airborne division without a "clear strategy for using them".
"These deployments could point to an extended, likely perilous, endeavor, perhaps involving Marines seizing Kharg Island — which some veterans are already calling a potential suicide mission."

Interview: Are the Americans serious about negotiations, or is it camouflage for an escalation of the war?
Multiple reports suggest the US is preparing to seize territory, so a negotiated resolution seems unlikely.
And Israel wants Iran's total collapse, so it can become regional hegemon. However, Israel is very small, & has "bitten off more than the US can chew on its behalf".
