Der Iran findet in London einen unwahrscheinlichen Verbündeten

nice Likud op-ed lol. We learned from the Iraq war that if you break it you buy it.

Bombing and assuming the regime will simply dissolve and the region will just neatly resolve itself is a risky bet to say the least. Maybe it will, but who knows? What if it doesn’t?

After the killing of tens of thousands of Iranians, including many in the last weeks alone, many believe this could be a rare moment for change and a possible opportunity to weaken or even end the current Iranian regime.

The Iranian government has been deeply involved in the war in Yemen, a conflict that led to immense suffering, including widespread hunger and the deaths of hundreds of thousands. It has also strongly supported and enabled the Assad regime in Syria during a war that caused massive loss of life and included the use of chemical weapons on civilians.

Iran has played a central role in backing Hezbollah, a powerful terrorist group in Lebanon which undermined Lebanon’s sovereignty and drawn the country into conflicts it did not seek.

It also provides funding, training, and weapons to Palestinian armed groups such as Hamas and played a central role in October 7.

And of course, it’s missiles and drones are also currently bombing cities in Europe through Russia.

Across the Middle East, many minorities, and whole nations see the Iranian regime as the most destabilizing force of the region. For the people of the middle east, this is not less than historic. For many even comparable to the time when America chose to actively join the fight in WW2 and end fascism which caused them so much suffering.

However, instead of supporting stronger action, the UK government has reportedly declined to not only join, but even allowing certain US military operations from its bases in the region. Reflecting weakness and domestic considerations rather than clear support for allies, and justice which the country regularly pretends to stand for.

Deeply disappointing.

I swear to god, the Ayatollah couldn’t pay for a PR team as effective as his enemies just speaking sometime.

Framing not actively engaging in hostilities against a nation as allying with them does not in anyway convince people of anything except making the speaker look like a bloodthirsty maniac, and discredits anyone who stands in the same camp as them. If you genuinely care about Israeli interests, delete this post.
