The million-dollar question the media and politicians should be asking is this: why are we going to war with Iran?
I don’t need to be a clairvoyant peering into the future to see what such a war would bring. If it is instigated, it will mean devastation for Iran and serious danger for other countries in the region, including Israel itself.
Moreover, little room has been left to peace, which is seen as a obstacle.

The Iran crisis is Trump’s own making.
It is also disturbing to see how the EU follows the US and Israel blindly. No objection, just standing ovations like we saw in Munich durng Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s speech.
The hubris of Trump and Israel is so immense at this moment that it risks exploding in their own faces.
Sorry, Trump—Iran is not Venezuela. And sorry, Netanyahu—your vision of a “Greater Israel” stretching all the way to the Nile is a costly pipe dream that can push the world into a nuclear Armageddon.

Gunboad policy will not work because sooner or later it will backfire.
We’ve seen how a 1953 coup toppled Prime Minister Mohammad Mossaddegh, backed by foreign oil interests and Western governments. His move to nationalize Iran’s oil industry proved unacceptable, and the Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was consolidated in power until he was overthrown in 1979 by the Iranian Revolution.
Seemingly ignoring this history, the United States is now seen by critics as provocative toward reinstating the Shah’s eldest son, Reza Pahlavi—a figure with limited domestic support but one who would likely receive backing from the US and Israel.
