Are you not following global events since October 7th? America has positioned itself to go all-in defending Israel and is willing to start a 5 front war against Hezbollah in Lebanon, Ansarallah in Yemen, Iraqi resistance groups in Iraq, Assad’s government in Syria and the Palestinians themselves. They are fighting Iran already by fighting all of Iran’s allies in the region simultaneously. The neocons figure they need to go for the throat instead of getting attrition hybrid warfared by proxies and spread thin, and they are not wrong in this assessment. US empire and domination in the Middle East is at a precipice, they either need to go all in (go for Iran, likely with nukes eventually unless Iran gets some ASAP for MAD) or they need to back off and withdraw from the region with their tail tucked between their legs, leaving behind all their investments and petro-dollar dominion.

It is escalating sharply and has been for some time to full on regional total war. Strait of Hormuz is closing soon at this rate. Iran is a regional superpower and they have a lot of ties and investments to all of these groups being increasingly attacked by US/UK/Israeli air strikes and missile strikes.
