“... It Doesn’t Look Like the Biden/Obama Administration is Really Interested in Peace in the Middle East...”

Biden and his stooges are so beyond incompetent in so many ways that it’s likely they will cost us our country.

Biden and most democrats, don’t care about foreign policy or national defense.

They’re too involved with turning the country into a socialist/communist paradise. The world can go to hell.

Regardless of what America does, Israel will deal with Iran in a definitive manner should the necessity arise. Israel has a Mossad network within Iran that has been incredibly effective in limited actions. Its stealthy drones cannot be stopped. Nor can F 35s carrying full ordnance.
However it should be noted that the Biden administration has done all it can to scrap the Abraham accords. It should also be remembered that Israel is allowed only one major strategic error of commission or omission in this conflict.

I read an analyst who put the best possible motives on the Obama administration. He said Obama was trying to create a tension in the Middle East between Iran and Saudi Arabia that would keep them in a cold war where neither had an advantage over the other, thus...peace.

The problem with every liberal dream is they never play it forward to what comes next. They are focused on the (flawed) view they have now and thinking that the situation is static and if they just tweak this or poke that everything will then be wonderful. Assuming Obama had pure motives, which I doubt, he didn’t take into account that Iran is a hostage taking culture. Nuclear weapons makes the whole world Iran’s hostage. The world would give in on small things, but those demands would not stay small. The cost of correcting Obama’s error, assuming it wasn’t on purpose, would potentially be millions of lives and huge swaths of poisoned earth.

Another issue is, Saudi Arabia, if it isn’t already, can become nuclear in a short time by getting them from Pakistan. You think Pakistan won’t sell nukes? Pakistan is so dysfunctional, the only reason it still exists as a state is the neighbors and America are pretending it is. Pakistan is always a few explosions and assassinations away from anarchy. Nuclear armed anarchy.

Then there’s the Saudi government. The present regent is the closest thing to a reformer Saudi Arabia has ever had. His name on the door was printed in chalk with a damp sponge hung nearby. Islam is designed not to be reformed...and he’s trying within the limits of his position. What happens when a country that already depends on the outside world for 90% of its food suddenly falls into chaos and civil war? Uhm...because of Obama, now they’d fight a nuclear armed civil war. I’m sure someone out there in FR land would respond, well, good.

Setting off nuclear weapons in an area supplying the bulk of much of the world’s oil will cause starvation on an unbelievable scale. It would be much better if the problems could be, if not solved, contained. That means not tipping the first domino...Nuclear Iran.

“What’s Really Going On with Iran? It Doesn’t Look Like the Biden/Obama Administration is Really Interested in Peace in the Middle East”

I’ll bet if the truth be know both Biden and Obama are hard core anti-Semites.
