🇮🇷 A mad dog and a muzzled empire: Israel, Iran, and the limits of strategic patience | Middle East Monitor
There are moments in history when diplomacy dies with a whimper, not a bang. But this time, it may die with both. Israel, drunk on decades of unpunished aggression, has now hurled itself off the ledge of military recklessness, dragging its American enablers and the wider Middle East into yet another chapter of chaos. The target of this new #Zionist tantrum? Iran—a nation of 90 million with a long memory, a steady hand, and a remarkable tolerance for provocation. Until now.

🇮🇷🇵🇸Middle East in Crisis – 2 | Adevs/IndianPunchline
Last week, the #resistance forces that were supposedly vanquished from the face of the earth regrouped and began firing missiles at Israel — from Syria, of all places! On May 4, #Houthis fired a ballistic missile at Tel Aviv hitting the perimeter of the main terminal of #BenGurionAirport! Reports suggest that Hezbollah has restored its supply routes from Iran.
What Israel fails to grasp is that resistance movements do not die their raison d’être remains. Israel is, in reality, in very deep crisis fighting on multiple fronts amidst a cascading domestic political crisis and an economy that requires drip feeding by Washington.
As the US’s capacity to influence events in the Middle East keeps diminishing, Israel’s unviability as a nation propped by the #JewishLobby in the Beltway appears sharper in focus. Already, there is resentment within the #US about bankrolling Israel and fighting its wars.
