    Where are you getting reports that Israel is ramping up for direct war with Iran?

    Everything I have read has said neither side is approaching further escalation at this time. Perhaps you have intel that hasn’t made its way to open source yet?

        You linked to an op-ed piece, not a journalist piece. Not your fault though. BBC needs to be a lot better at differentiating.

          I can’t link to classified intelligence to provide ironclad evidence. This isn’t the war thunder forums.

          The risk of a wider war developing in the Middle East is a very real risk. The fact that you won’t acknowledge that shows you argue in bad faith.

            Of course its a real risk, I just think trying to spin it so that Biden is at fault before it happens is nakedly partisan.

              If Biden attacks Iran, he is at fault for starting a war. He’s the commander in chief. If he doesn’t attack Iran, he’s not at fault, because he did not start a war.

              I don’t understand how that’s complicated.

                Biden told Netanyahu he would not be involved in a direct war with Iran, so unless Iran attacks the US directly, Biden should be fine.

                  Well, except for the votes he’s already losing by supporting Netanyahu’s existing genocide.

                    Why are you changing the subject instead of responding to what I said?
