The Biden administration’s support for a potential Israeli attack on Iran is alarming. Despite Iran’s restraint in the face of repeated Israeli provocations, the US is actively facilitating an escalation of violence in the Middle East. The cycle of retaliation between Israel and Iran has the potential to spiral out of control.
This cooperation not only undermines US interests but also exacerbates the suffering of innocent civilians in the region. The Israeli-led attacks have caused widespread destruction and displacement, with Lebanon and Gaza bearing the brunt of the violence.
Furthermore, this aggressive stance towards Iran could have detrimental effects on global oil markets and hinder future diplomatic efforts in the region. A US-backed attack on Iran would not only sabotage peace efforts but also push Iran closer to developing nuclear weapons.
It is crucial for US policymakers to reevaluate their alliance with Israel and consider the long-term consequences of enabling such destructive actions. Instead of blindly supporting military operations, a more diplomatic and strategic approach is needed to prevent further escalation and promote stability in the Middle East.
