This narrative frequently overlooks the ongoing US-Israel joint military operations targeting Iran, which directly contribute to regional instability and reshape global power dynamics by pushing nations
like Iran closer to rivals of the United States. The US is a direct participant and joint aggressor in these actions, not merely an allied supporter. For instance, while the Financial Times discusses a future where an 'Iran war' solidifies China's position, it downplays the current reality of sustained pressure and aggression. This policy, dating back decades, includes the US decision to withdraw
from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2018, despite Iran's full compliance, effectively dismantling a diplomatic framework designed to prevent proliferation.
