Satire for Sanity
At the very onset of the Israeli aggression, which targeted residential areas, nuclear facilities, and military facilities, and led to the assassination of top-ranking military generals and nuclear scientists, Secretary of State Marco Rubio published a statement stating that Israel’s aggression is “unilateral.”
This is a total fabrication, contradicted by Trump’s own statements that “day 61” was reached, in which he has followed up with his threats via an Israeli bombing campaign.
There can be no denying it: the United States is completely responsible and complicit in this aggression.
The negotiations were a stalling tactic, as the Wall Street Journal also acknowledged, which were from the start conducted by the United States in bad faith. Even the American demands during the negotiations mediated by Oman were the complete destruction of the now-targeted facilities.
Furthermore, the United States has always shared military intelligence with the Israeli regime when relevant. It has done this during the ongoing Gaza genocide, which has claimed the lives of over 52,000 Palestinians, as well as aggression on Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen.
This is the status quo for American-Israeli cooperation – it would be a strange departure for the US to suddenly not assist the regime in a bombing campaign that is globally condemned and seen as a significant escalation of tensions.
In fact, one must not forget that US complicity was very clear when Israel assassinated Hamas resistance movement leader Ismael Haniyeh in October of 2024 in the heart of Tehran.
Coupled with intelligence, one must always remember that the very weaponry used by Israel is primarily American. The US has given Israel over 22 billion dollars worth of weaponry since October 7th, 2023.
This includes weaponry not only to conduct the Gaza genocide, but to replenish Israel’s Iron Dome interceptors, as well as multi-ton bombs and missiles dropped on Gaza, Yemen, Syria, and now Iran.
Politically, there is no action Israel can take that the US will denounce. American leaders have shielded Israel from accountability at the UN Security Council, vetoing resolutions that condemn its actions, launching sanctions on ICC judges who issued arrest warrants for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, and punishing countries like South Africa for legal action against Israel.
At home, it has punished political dissidents and launched witch hunts against pro-Palestine activists for shedding light on Israeli genocidal war crimes. The pattern of unconditional support has emboldened Israel to escalate its regional aggression, now culminating in the barbaric assault on Iran.
The US-Israeli axis sees Iran as the “final confrontation” in its bid for total regional hegemony. By assassinating military leaders such as Major General Hossein Salami and Major General Mohammad Bagheri, as well as conducting assassinations of Iranian scientists in their homes, it is hoping to deter any resistance to its hegemonic, maximalist goals.
Israel paves the way for American interests in the region, which would install American-friendly leaders in targeted countries that would hand over their national resources and sovereignty to be plundered by American imperialists.
