Attacking Iran still on?

With Hezbollah and Hamas effectively sidelined and the EU sanctions crippling Iran, Israel thought the time to strike was now. Of course Israel cannot take on Iran on its own it needs the US.

In Iran, AstroTurf protests were created by provocateurs. They set fired to Mosque and the entrances to subways. But nothing makes it more clear thata these were agent provocateurs more clearly than the fact that nearly a quarter of the ambulances were destroyed. What kind of protestor destroys an ambulance? In fact who are the only people in the world really who attack ambulances and hospitals? ding

A few things went wrong with the plan. Jammers of Starlink which have been proven to work in Ukraine in that war, were brought in to disrupt communications between the paid rioters. Qatar and other gulf allies are reluctant to allow the US to launch attacks from their territories as that would make them targets themselves. Kurdish mercenaries with starlink terminals were caught by both Turkish and Iranian intelligence in East Iraq before they could even get across the border.

Operation Ajax 2.0 failed.

That does not mean there will not be an attack which will create another war.

Ellison’s new CBS went from 12k to 20 to 43k protesters killed by the regime. This is as false and low effort propaganda as the 40 beheaded babies myth from Oct 7th.

Israel blew its wad against as many of their agents and rent-a-terrorist have been arrested or killed. They simply do not have enough interceptor missiles to defend themselves should they strike Iran again. They are banking on the US to do all the heavy lifting. This war will not be in the US national interest at all.
