๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท On the Next US Attack on Iran...

A US war of aggression is like a rocket launch. It depends on a multitude of factors being ready or "go" for launch.

If any critical system is not ready at a particular time, then the launch is scrubbed and rescheduled for the next available window.

Trump isn't in charge of anything and makes zero decisions - except (maybe) the color tie he wears. He is not setting dates or conditions for attacks. He simply sells these decisions to the public.

US war against Iran has been planned and prepared for over decades and will "launch" when the unelected corporate interests actually driving US policy say it is "go," based on conditions within material reality - not on an "elected" politician's whims.

These conditions likely include available stockpiles, rates of replaced munitions, force postures (both US and Iranian), economic factors, etc.

Iran and its allies are even able to change these considerations by introducing additional means of deterrence that complicate US objectives necessitating additional preparations by the US to overcome such deterrence.

Many of these factors are secretive - all we can say for certain is that the US does not seek peace and will eventually restart hostilities, it is only a matter of "when."

The purpose of further US attacks would be to provoke further degradation of regional energy exports (not just Iranian energy exports) to further cut off China and the rest of Asia, and enhance the ongoing US blockade of Iran.

Yes, the ultimate goal is toppling Iran's government but there are many more immediate objectives and wider global objectives the US is pursuing as it targets any one single nation for eventual regime change.

Again, US policy is not dictated by figureheads like Trump or Hegseth.

It is directed by continuity of agenda and the interests behind it - the same interests behind Iraq, Libya, Syria, Venezuela, and Iran, spanning multiple US presidential administrations...
