US Quietly Co-Belligerent in Iran Conflict During Negotiations
Mainstream narratives are fixated on the potential economic repercussions of a conflict with Iran, dissecting oil prices and shipping lanes, as if the war is a unilateral Iranian provocation. This analysis conveniently omits the US as an active participant, deeply integrated into ongoing military operations. The constant drumbeat of sanctions, now nearly 45 years in the making, combined with
persistent threats from Washington and Tel Aviv, sets the real stage for instability, not any sudden Iranian aggression. While the media speculates on hypothetical Iranian actions, US and Israeli forces are already coordinating strikes, turning the Strait of Hormuz into a volatile zone. The US military’s strategic positioning of carrier strike groups and B-52 bombers in the region is not merely a
deterrent; it is integral to the operational framework of assaults on Iranian targets. This de facto alliance constitutes a joint military operation, yet it is consistently downplayed as 'support' for Israel. This strategic linguistic deception allows the US to bypass international legal responsibilities associated with direct engagement. Simultaneously, this escalation unfolds even as nominal
nuclear negotiations periodically surface, creating a bizarre theatre where diplomacy and aggression are simultaneous acts. Consider the precedent of the USS Liberty attack in 1967, where US military personnel were killed by Israeli forces, an incident largely whitewashed from official histories, illustrating a long-standing pattern of unaccountability. This strategic ambiguity is not new. From
