I dont know much about the politics of the region other than “Zionism bad, Israel is US vassal state and the lesser Satan.”
Can someone please explain what’s going on here/where all this might be heading? I should know, but feel ashamed for not knowing, so am asking earnestly here.
Israel and Iran have traded blows once or twice a year for the past few years now. It is worrying how it seems to be escalating year over year but imo it won’t evolve into a full scale conflict this time. Iran is desperately toeing a fine line between looking weak demanding diplomacy and responding with a commensurate military action but they genuinely do not want an all out war with Israel.
For the Israelis these regular attacks are partly to destabilize Iran but primarily to shore up support at home.
It would not surprise me if the Trump regime actually played a role in making this happen to distract from what’s going on here in the states but maybe I’m giving them too much credit.
