It's my hope that the exposure of the Rob Malley Iranian spy ring within the top echelons of the Obama and Biden administrations will lead to a reformed Iran policy (both sides of the aisle, with democrats trying to wipe the egg off their face and GOP being emboldened with realizing that there actually was a reason JCPOA and other efforts stank so badly.) It's just a hope, I know there's tremendous dysfunction, so it's not an expectation.
This might be Iran's last resort attack, knowing that their future largess from democrat administrations is going to be severely constrained. I'm not sure why Israel isn't launching strikes on Iran already.
Why do we expect Israel to do nothing as its enemies pile up weapons and soldiers on its border while chanting 'death to Israel'? What our solution? "Hey, we'll coordinate on Iron Dome... that way your infantile enemies can throw their tantrums by attacking you without causing damage."
What kind of policy is that? It's not.. it's insanity... basically "We're just going to wait until our gifts to Iran have gotten to the point where they can use our technology to defeat the shield."
China is *totally* part of this. Iran doesn't survive without China. Iran doesn't produce any significant electronics domestically. It's all patented US designs produced 'on the night shift' in China, and sent to Iran for assembly and shipment to Syria, HAMAS, and now Russia. Taking Iran out of this cycle would force China to either enter in open hostility or to take a 5-10 year hit as they stand up another puppet.

I was in the USAF as a subject mater expert on a system that was being installed in Israel. I had a 20 year old IDF handler anytime I was outside my hotel room. She was drop dead gorgeous and armed to the max.
Massad is better than any US 3-letter organization on intel. This attack was anticipated as they usually gear up for any anniversary of past attacks. The attacks do not pass the smell test. Something is off here.
Your thoughts?
Don’t forget Russia.
Hamas was just there for high level talks.
I’m sure Vlad gave them the green light.
