๐ฎ๐ฑ๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ทThe New York Times reports that the war in Iran actually began due to a large-scale failure of Israeli intelligence.
The "Mossad" allegedly made a strategic bet on an internal uprising in Iran, which turned out to be a fatal mistake. Subsequently, Israeli special services and the country's leadership convinced Washington of the need for a coordinated strike, but the plan completely failed.
It was assumed that the targeted elimination of the top religious and political leadership of Iran would provoke a mass protest movement, and armed Kurdish forces on the borders would become the core of direct military pressure on the ground.
The American intelligence community was initially skeptical of this scenario, pointing to the lack of real prerequisites for such a development of events. Nevertheless, the Mossad's arguments about the "quick collapse of the regime" became decisive for involving the US in a full-scale conflict. And it was probably not easy to argue with Trump, as there was a real risk of losing funding and jobs.
As a result, Washington found itself hostage to a strategy based on a weak hypothesis: that an external military "roll" would lead to an instant destabilization of power. In practice, however, this caused the opposite effect - an unprecedented consolidation of the Iranian leadership and a sharp escalation of the conflict.

They started drinking their own koolaid
I find it absurd when Netanyahu goes out addressing the people of Iran to go out and wreck havoc, like does Israel not realize they're hated worldwide?
This is total bullshit. Its a justification. "Oh we didn't want to murder thousands of Iranians and spark a regional war. We were sure if we killed their leaders it would be over and everything could be done in 2 days. But they started fighting back so now we have to do genocide. oopsie"
They wanted a genocide. They always want genocide.
Motherfuckers should have picked up a history book and should have realized that it didn't work in Lebanon, Iraq, and Afghanistan, and wouldn't work here.
