Prevent a War Against Iran by 'Radically Exposing' Israeli Plans

 

"Israeli annoyance over recent interviews with U.S. officials means that they don't want to have a critical public debate, because that would weaken support within Israel for an attack that is already being planned. This makes the radical exposure of every potential scenario all the more urgent."

Israel is angry over recent interviews with U.S. officials and analysts, in which an Israeli military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities is deemed more or less unfeasible - and that could be good news, because it may mean that Israel still has leverage to exert through military threats, which is leverage it doesn't want to see diminished. And if the Israeli government had already settled on a plan for attack, then a certain degree of recklessness would have already accompanied Iran's response.

 

Israeli annoyance could mean that they don't want to have a critical public debate, because that would weaken support within Israel for an attack that is already being planned. This makes the radical exposure of every potential scenario all the more urgent. The Middle East's recent past is littered with cases in which leading politicians have been in error when predicting the turn that events would take.

The most glaring example of course is the 2003 Iraq War, but Israel's 2006 war on Lebanon also falls into this category. With that in mind, everyone should stop talking about a "military strike." That would involve a prolonged military operation - a war - that would not be limited solely to Iran, but would extend to its allies in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza.?
