Benjamin Netanyahu and the genocidal Zionist state of Israel seek to convince Donald Trump to involve the United States in a war against Iran and thus guarantee their regional supremacy by neutralizing the Iranian threat without assuming the full cost of the conflict.
Israel lacks the military capability to destroy Iran’s nuclear program or overthrow its regime without direct US support. Netanyahu’s strategy focuses on dragging Washington into a military intervention that will secure these objectives, leveraging US power.
Israel uses the narrative of Iran’s “existential threat” to justify an escalation of war, while consolidating its occupation of Palestine and expanding its influence. Netanyahu manipulates the pro-Israel lobby in the US and media outlets like Fox News to pressure Trump, presenting war as a shared necessity. This propaganda obscures Israel’s interest in maintaining an external enemy that legitimizes its militarism.
Netanyahu is betting on an all-out conflict where the US assumes the brunt of operations, minimizing Israeli losses. Iran, with its network of allies like Hezbollah, represents a challenge that Israel cannot face alone. US intervention would guarantee resources, technology, and troops, while Israel positions itself as an indispensable ally in the region.
The human and economic cost to the US if it gets involved in the war against Iran is extremely high. In wars like those in Iraq and Afghanistan, Washington paid a disproportionate price for agendas aligned with Israeli interests. Netanyahu exploits the relationship with the US to avoid a direct confrontation with Iran, knowing that a prolonged conflict could destabilize Israel internally.
The military escalation benefits Netanyahu politically, diverting attention from his legal problems inside and outside Israel, where he is accused of corruption, and the Palestinian resistance in Gaza. However, a war with Iran could unleash a regional crisis, with the US trapped in another costly conflict. This dynamic reflects Israel’s colonial nature, which depends on the US imperial power to sustain its expansionist project.
Netanyahu seeks US intervention to bear the brunt of a war against Iran, securing Israel’s strategic interests while circumventing its own military and political limitations. This maneuver prioritizes Israeli power over global stability, with the US as an instrument of a warmongering agenda that ignores the devastating consequences for the region and the world.
