Israel Dragging U.S. into New Mid-East War - They Know What They're Doing

Israel Dragging U.S. into New Mid-East War - They Know What They're Doing

Glenn Greenwald - System Update

Over the past few days the US Biden administration has contributed to stirring up chaos over Iran’s pledged response to Israeli airstrikes that destroyed its Damascus based consulate. Despite this situation clearly being of Israel’s making, a narrative is being concocted to suggest Tel Aviv is the victim and that Tehran is preparing the equivalent of an unprovoked terrorist attack.

Almost two weeks have passed since Israel carried out an unprecedented attack against Iran’s consulate in Damascus, Syria, murdering 7 members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the most prominent of which was Mohammad Reza Zahedi.

While the missile attack represented an egregious violation of international law and two nation’s sovereignty, in addition to being an affront to global diplomatic norms, it was also a direct strike against Iranian territory. It has to be understood that no nation would stand by and simply allow such an unprovoked aggression, tantamount to a declaration of war, to pass without any response.

When the issue was tabled by Russia at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), in an emergency session, the US prevented a condemnation of the event from being passed, essentially robbing the government of Iran any political or legal recourse, at least in the short term.

For further context, it should be noted that the Syrian Arab Republic has repeatedly attempted to appeal to the United Nations over hundreds of unprovoked Israeli attacks against its territory, including strikes on its ports and airports, as well as both its civilian and military infrastructure.

All of Syria’s pleas, which have been ongoing for years, have fallen on deaf ears and been blocked from going anywhere by the United States government, permitting repeated acts of war without any pushback against their allies in Tel Aviv.
