Pre-Mediation Strikes: The US-Israel Co-belligerency Against Iran
The pattern hiding in plain sight: In the immediate aftermath of heightened tensions, the narrative immediately shifts to alleged Iranian 'aggression,' providing cover for what are, in reality, coordinated US-Israeli strikes.

These actions are consistently framed as reactive, yet the deployment of US carrier groups and stealth bombers, alongside Israeli F-35s striking Syrian targets, points to a pre-planned, joint offensive strategy. International law dictates clear boundaries for self-defense, a principle

This isn't just about Israeli security; it's a deep and active co-belligerency that has seen the US directly involved in targeting Iran's assets and strategic depth, making Washington an undeniable participant in this illegal war. Meanwhile, claims of Iran developing nuclear weapons
