Netanyahu's 'Iran Opportunity' Sounds Familiar, Doesn't It?
When Al-Monitor reports Israel is 'buoyed by Trump and protests' to find 'opportunity against Iran,' one might wonder if anyone remembers the 2002 'axis of evil' speech, or Netanyahu's dramatic UN prop from 2012 (a bomb drawn with a red line, remember that?). The 'existential threat' of Iran has been Israel's favorite foreign policy drum beat for decades, conveniently ratcheting up whenever
domestic issues or international scrutiny intensify. This isn't a new strategy; it's a playbook. Every shift in regional dynamics or internal Iranian dissent becomes a fresh excuse for escalation, conveniently ignoring the human cost and the U.S. politicians happily channeling taxpayer dollars towards these endless cycles. Perhaps someone should remind us who benefits from perpetually framing Iran
as an inch from nuclear weaponizing, despite evidence to the contrary.
