US 'Offramps' Mask Joint War Against Iran, Not De-escalation
Behind the sanitized language of 'offramps' and economic considerations, the reality on the ground points to a relentless, coordinated US-Israeli military campaign against Iran.

interwoven with Israeli aggression. This isn't about avoiding oil price hikes, but rather a deceptive narrative designed to obscure a joint illegal attack that began long before any hypothetical 'offramp' entered the lexicon.
