    The idea might have been that if people actually start a revolution, the Iranian oligarchs would also be ousted, Hamas would stop receiving funding, leading to their collapse and a stabilization of Palestinian political movements that are not as extreme…

    Can’t have that. So bomb the crap out of civilian targets to unite the Iranian people under the next Ayatollah - despite how oppressive and awful his regime is - to kickstart Iranian hatred for the west again, so things can return to status quo.

    “Mission accomplished”, Netenyahu will say, cradling a cognac in his hand while sitting on a throne made out of the bones of dead Palestinians.

    Trump will just be confused and frustrated, but he’s an idiot and a Muppet in this case, so it stands to reason.
