It feels like Israel and the US are preparing for another major round of battle. I am guessing they will feel obliged to interrupt Khamenei's funeral, and that's the time window I'm seeing for this round.
I also think that they are planning for a week or so of maximum brutality, after which they will immediately seek a ceasefire, with much of Iran's infrastructure lying in ruins.
Their thinking is that Iran needs time to fully flex its military muscles (in the shape of its ground forces, and those of its allies in Yemen and Iraq), so they will apply a mix of intense violence and fake diplomacy to maximize their advantage (surprise and initial speed and momentum), and neutralize Iran's advantages (strategic depths, discipline under stress, and a superior deployment across the region).
Now or in 3 months, or years, they will leave Iran no choice but to crush every colonial presence in West Asia. Colonizers do not relent or change their long term goals, ever. They are addicted to violence and a sense of superiority. They will never let Iran exist in (one) peace.
I want to know who at Drop Site wrote this line: "Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has introduced an amendment that could effectively halt all offensive and defensive U.S. military aid to Israel under current conditions". It's a lie. The author knows it's a lie, even with the conditional "under current conditions". First of all it's a lie because it has zero chance of passing, but more importantly it's a lie because even if it did pass, as the Drop Site thread itself clarifies in later posts, it would not "effectively halt all offensive and defensive US military aid to Israel", because it would simply require Congress to vote for it and everyone knows, including author who wrote that line, that Congress will vote for it, as it always has.
So why did the person who wrote that line as the beginning of its thread with the intention to deceive readers into thinking that AOCIA has proposed a full arms embargo on Israel, deliberately choose to lie to their readership? I think that's a very important question that needs to be answered.
