The U.S. has labeled Israeli strikes on Iran as an “exercise of self-defense,” reflecting a long history of support for Israeli actions and its proxies. As the U.S. elections approach, tensions in the Middle East have escalated, raising concerns about potential manipulation of American voters’ perceptions.
While the U.S. justifies Israeli aggression as self-defense, questions arise about the sustainability of this support amid escalating provocations. Many view Israel’s actions as illegitimate and a violation of international law. Critics argue that the U.S. is complicit in these violations, partnering in what they see as international law breaches.
Since October 7, 2023, the warmongering policies of the U.S. and Israel have played out on the geopolitical chessboard of the Middle East. The recent strikes and skirmishes are seen as manifestations of frustration, particularly in light of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s failures regarding hostage releases and strategic decisions.
If the current trend continues, U.S. backing for Israeli invasions and strikes could backfire, with Israel emerging as the major loser in this ongoing conflict.
