Afrasianet - The Israeli-American partnership in the war against Iran clearly shows that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been able to give weight to the Israeli vision on Iran and make it a priority in American strategies for the region and the world, which foreshadows the end of the previous state of oscillation within the administration of US President Donald Trump, between the trend of avoiding fighting wars (after the disastrous results of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan) and the trend of preying on countries and peoples and assassinating elites, in the manner of Israel.
The assassination of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Ali, shows It is useful here to recall the facts of the previous war against Iran (called the "12-Day War") and the way in which Israel was able to steer the American rudder towards war: At dawn on June 13, Israel launched the "Operation Rising Assad" attacks, during which it targeted key nuclear sites, military facilities, and residential areas of military commanders and nuclear scientists. Israeli with ballistic missiles and drones.
US President Donald Trump, who built part of his political program on "ending wars" (and winning the Nobel Peace Prize!) was forced to assert America's leadership position in the world by announcing his country's participation in the war by carrying out intensive raids "in full coordination with Israel" (Operation Midnight Hammer) targeting nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan, but two days later (June 24) he announced a ceasefire agreement. Extremely important.
This time, Israel did not play the role of stun gun that set in motion the dynamics that prompted Trump to intervene, but rather became the heart of the military-security operations and its "mind" (with the adoption of the American ambassador and a balanced wing in the US administration of Israel's religious-ideological narratives).
The assassination of Khamenei and senior military commanders first reveals a massive political-security flaw in the Iranian regime's vision, and the fact that this assassination took place at Khamenei's residence (who also killed his entire family) seems incredible in its opposition to security, political, and military logic.
In this regard, it is not useful to explain this by the Karbala's martyrdom tendency, nor by the collusion of the regime (as is said to have happened in Venezuela), as some Western analyses have seen, especially after the previous major strike of senior commanders last June, and the direct Israeli threats to assassinate Khamenei and his leaders (as well as the assassination of the secretary-general of Hezbollah and its senior commanders, down to the lower and lower cadres).
Information is accumulated through the Internet, mobile devices (Netanyahu spoke about this explicitly), social media, modern cars, and money transfers across the world, and is processed and sorted through artificial intelligence platforms, most of which have been linked to the intelligence services, so that humanity as a whole plays the role of an informant about itself in all its life and death affairs.
Israel and the United States no longer need field spies to carry out some tasks that drones and people sitting on screens very far from the scene of the event cannot carry out.
The Iranian reaction, which bombs, along with American bases and Israeli cities, the Persian Gulf region and ships in the Strait of Hormuz, shows a transition from the "near-self-harm" that took place with the assassination of Khamenei and his leaders, to the ignition of the region, which is considered a major artery for oil, gas and global wealth, a tactic that tries to match the Israeli tactic of the war from Write down red lines, except that he says that no one will be spared the costs of a devastating war against Iran.
