#Mondoweiss | Israel started a war with Iran, but it doesn’t know how it ends

"And yet, behind this Israeli choreography of operational tenacity lies a quieter, more subterranean logic. It is not only Iran that Israel seeks to provoke, but the United States. If Israel cannot destroy Natanz or Fordow on its own, it may still succeed in creating the conditions under which Washington feels compelled to act in its stead. This, perhaps, is the real gambit: not a direct confrontation with Iran, but the orchestration of an environment of urgency and provocation that makes American intervention — at a minimum — on the table. In other words, Israel’s military theatrics are a trap for the U.S."

Israel started a war with Iran, but it doesn’t know how it ends

Israel entered into war with Iran in a way that creates the conditions for American leverage, hoping to drag the U.S. into all-out confrontation. But even though Israel started the war, it can’t control how Trump will respond.

The Israel:

"There is a cruel irony at play. A state that has institutionalized the destruction of homes, memories, and lives in Gaza now cries foul. It flagrantly violates every norm — legal, moral, humanitarian — only to invoke those same norms when violence reaches its own doorstep. Overnight, the architecture of impunity that it has constructed becomes the basis for grievance."
