It’s true, Israel doesn’t need the USA’s permission to fight Iran.
BREAKING: The Israeli military has directly informed CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper that Israel does not need approval or support from the US to wage war against Iran, adding “we are currently making preparations to start the war,” per Israeli Channel 13.
Israel is preparing for a unilateral strike on Iran as it concludes the US is no longer willing to finish the war on its terms.
Iran has previously threatened to strike Israel’s Haifa oil refinery and Tel Aviv directly as soon as Israel strikes Iran again, with Iran having broken the air defense layer in Jordan and other Arab countries in daily attacks over the last few weeks allowing it to strike Israel more effectively, and with Israel’s own interceptor stocks now critically low leaving it more vulnerable.
Israel is a sovereign nation. It has the right to make its own decisions. And, concomitant with that right is the right to experience the consequences of those decisions, without any subsequent assistance from the US military, regardless of how it turns out.
I don’t see the strategic wisdom in pursuing this war, but then, I’m not privy to the same quantity and quality of information that the Israeli generals possess. And the best thing that the rest of the world can do is let Iran and Israeli sort it out amongst themselves.
No one has ever brought peace to the Middle East, so there is no sense in even trying to do so.
