The true reason we are in this global scenario is because of the delusional policies of the USA under the Democratic administrations of Obama, Biden and if elected Harris. The foreign policy braintrust of Obama, Biden, Sullivan, Blinken, Malley, et all have advocated for the naive enablement and regional integration of Iran into the Middle East. It's an absurd policy (Shia vs. Sunni to start) for a regime that preaches "death to America" at every opportunity!
The reality of the US's delusional foreign policy in appeasing and enriching Iran have brought us to where were are now -- Reminiscent of 1938 Europe. Hitler with nukes. Never have we been closer to WWIII than now. It was all preventable by what has been the global superpower! Excellent commentary here: https://www.jpost.com/opinion/article-812994
It’s more than passing strange that the world seems to accept Iran’s attempt to avenge its humiliation as some inalienable right under international law when it is, in fact, a clear violation. Israel is not at war with Iran, Iran has announced that it is at war with Israel for decades. That makes all the difference, both legally and morally.
It’s also very rich coming from Iran which has famously murdered former Iranian officials living under protection in France (the same country that had given the Ayatollah Khomeini asylum for over a decade), killed untold numbers of dissidents under protection throughout Europe and, more recently, targeted the Saudi ambassador in Washington DC.
Meanwhile, there’s a rumor going around that Iran and its proxies will attack on Tisha b’Av, the Jewish day of mourning for the destruction of the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem - the existence of which the Palestinians have recently taken to denying outright.
The April coalition is regrouping to oppose Iran and Israel has bruited mention of a defense-offense reaction. If Iran sends large salvos of missiles and drones, one might expect a real time reaction by Israel, backstopped defensively by its coalition.
One day, Iran might understand that it is its own worst enemy and its goals are unobtainable. But just as with its proxies, that day is not today. Could it be around the corner? One can only hope.

Good article from Jonathan Hessen.

Agreed. Good point about Iranians being murdered overseas by their regime.
