Toward War with Iran

Between the US-sponsored erasure of Gaza and now a major terrorist attack inside Iran (targeting a cementary where US-assassinated Iranian General Qasem Soleimani is buried), public anger will make it increasingly difficult for Tehran to show restraint following an upcoming direct US and/or Israeli strike on Iran itself.

US policymakers for years admit their greatest fear in attempting to provoke Iran into war is that Tehran might not take the bait.

It appears the stage is being set to make it as politically difficult and costly as possible for Tehran to show restraint. This doesn't mean the US will succeed, just that they appear to be doing everything possible to improve their odds.

Washington sees the window closing on reasserting US hegemony worldwide, forcing it to commit to increasingly irrational, desperate and thus dangerous actions in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific.
