Is The Biden Administration Green-Lighting An Israeli Attack On Iran?

 

Trita Parsi, MSNBC: For The First Time Israel Will Be Holding Large-Scale Military Drills Simulating A Wide-scale Strike On Iran  

Hidden behind the headlines on Ukraine, the Biden administration just moved one alarming step closer to war with Iran. According to Israel’s Channel 13, the U.S. has agreed to participate in Israel’s large-scale drill simulating a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities later this month. The Times of Israel noted that report was unsourced, but according to Axios, Israeli officials “confirmed that there will be U.S. participation.” (The Pentagon did not respond to Axios' request for comment immediately.) 

If the report turns out to be true, it will mark the first time that U.S. refueling planes take part in such an exercise with Israeli fighter jets. This suggests that Biden is moving further than any U.S. president in signaling approval for Israel to start war with Iran, despite his promise to rejoin the Iran nuclear deal, a multilateral agreement that prevented both an Iranian bomb and a region-wide war with Iran.

To say that tensions are going-up again in the Middle East is an understatement.

An Israeli attack on Iran will mean a war that will engulf the region. To me it will be a certainty that the Straits of Hormuz will be shut down to oil traffic, and I would not be surprised if Iran even launches attacks against the oil infrastructure of Saudi Arabia and its Gulf allies. 

If you think the price of gas and diesel is high now, in the event of such a conflict the price of fuel will not only be astronomical, but you will be lucky if you can get it.
