Think of this, the previous leader of the Ayatollah khamenei was not only old, but he never had a successor. The coup is not what would have drowned the Ayatollah but instead change in leadership/battle for leadership and a opportunity of moderate powers gaining a foothold. They would have appointed a successor on death. Maybe his son maybe a…

Washington wanted Israel to assume the political risks of a military operation ahead of the US midterm elections, rather than US President Donald Trump. Art of the Deal, Trump style. Israel won't say yes to this. Especially when the actual deal is already done and delivered, and that was the US joining the war to escalate on Israel's behalf, and…

"The U.S. pressed Israel to strike Iran during discussions between the two countries over the past two weeks, sources told Maariv. American officials reportedly believed Israel would be interested in striking Iran before its own elections, while a US operation ahead of the midterms could have negative political consequences for Trump. The US has…

I'm about as predisposed to disliking the Iranian government as possible, between their massive suppression of women and anyone who wants democracy and their waging of proxy wars all over the Middle East, and I follow geopolitics, but even so, I genuinely don't know what the goal of this war is supposed to be. What do the US and Israeli…

🇮🇱🇺🇸🇮🇷 Netanyahu has been pushing Trump to hit Iran again before the elections. They’ve reportedly talked about it several times in the past 2 weeks, with Netanyahu warning that Iran is rebuilding its nuclear program. Trump’s reply, per one U.S. official: “Go ahead and get

You're right that Netanyahu may get votes from another skirmish. You're wrong that it can postpone the election. It's almost impossible to postpone the election. It takes 3 votes with a bar of 80 parliament members (out of 120) and even then the supreme court can block the postponement.

He got a good bump from Venezuela, and wanted to repeat a quick victory in Iran by targeting the top. It backfired though and now he’s stuck because accepting a defeat is even more harmful domestically.

And also, the war on Iran is a pretty stupid way to do it when it just sparks a rally-round-the-flag effect while further tightening the totalitarian grip of the the IRGC
-
In the light of this, the choice of country they started a war with is ultimately irrelevant then? It could've been any other?
-
Read somewhere that Trump thought he'd get a war bump in ratings like how Bush was polling at 80% approval after Iraq.
-
Hah? Didn't he spend like 12 years saying if people voted for the Democrat President they'd start a war on Iran?
-
Why not? Netanyahu could use it to show his voters how strong he is. Or postpone the election.

Won't happen, and even if it does it won't help Trump in the midterms all that much
