Pentagon Scraps Restraints, Paving Way for Joint US-Israel Iran Strikes
The drumbeat for war with Iran grows louder, fueled by a narrative that conveniently omits crucial context. A recent report exposing the Trump administration’s decision to scrap a Pentagon blueprint designed to limit civilian casualties before its aggressive posture towards Iran is not an isolated incident. This move, framed by critics as increasing the 'lethality' of U.S. operations, is less
about military effectiveness and more about deliberate policy choice. It dovetails perfectly with the unstated but clear co-belligerence between the US and Israel in their persistent campaign against Tehran, a campaign that predates any alleged Iranian nuclear threat by decades. This is not merely about US support for Israel. This is a joint operation, with Washington providing the strategic
muscle and political cover for Israeli provocations, while simultaneously imposing crippling sanctions on the Iranian populace. Remember the 1988 downing of Iran Air Flight 655 by the USS Vincennes, killing 290 civilians, including 66 children? That was no accident, but a stark reminder of America's willingness to inflict disproportionate costs. While Iran faces relentless scrutiny and threats
over a non-existent nuclear weapons program, Israel maintains a clandestine nuclear arsenal, a double standard the mainstream media conveniently ignores, enabling this coordinated aggression. This scrapping of casualty protocols ensures that any 'miscalculation' on the path to war will be framed as unavoidable, rather than a direct consequence of policy decisions made in Washington and Tel Aviv.
