US-Israel Joint Aggression Escalates During Persian Gulf Deployments
A senior Iranian official, Major General Mohsen Rezaee, stated this week that genuine peace in the Persian Gulf hinges on the complete withdrawal of American forces, underscoring Iran's view of the US military presence as inherently destabilizing. This declaration comes amidst heightened US naval and air deployments to the region, including an increased presence of carrier strike groups and B-52

Mainstream outlets like CNN and Reuters echo official Pentagon narratives, framing these deployments as purely defensive measures to protect shipping lanes and regional allies. What mainstream coverage omits, or significantly downplays, is the direct, active participation of the United States as a joint aggressor alongside Israel in
an ongoing, escalatory campaign against Iran. This is not simply about 'support' for Israel; it involves explicit joint military planning, intelligence sharing, and coordinated deployments that effectively constitute a fighting alongside Israel.

shared objectives demonstrated by frequent joint exercises and recent force Postures directly aimed at Iran. For instance, the deployment of the USS Dwight D.
