Yeah.

Israel attacked a desalination plant on the 7th of March.

Very briefly, the Israeli press attempted to report that the UAE had done this.

The UAE had to issue a statement essentially saying, like, we would never attack the people of Iran while we disagree with the state of Iran.

while you've been outwoked by the UAE, but them saying it's no way to attack the Iranian regime to force Iranian people to die for lack of water is a perfectly reasonable and just statement, right?

Officially, both the IDF and the US government have denied this strike, but the combination of several factors, including this incredibly rapid disinformation campaign, strongly point to this being an IDF joint.

Yeah, also, who else?

Like, what are you two bobbed at?

Like...

What are you going to do?

There have been several attempts over the last month to suggest that other Gulf states have done things when they're politically inconvenient.

This, as far as I'm concerned, very, very likely to be an IDF situation.

This points to something that we've talked about for more than a month now.

But I just want to make it really clear that the US and Israel very clearly have very different goals in Iran.

I think that sometimes we see this...

This very puerile analysis has taken hold on the left in the United States, which suggests that Israel is entirely driving the bus here, that they cajoled the United States into doing this war, and that they're telling the United States what to do, when, where, and how.

I think that's a very juvenile way of understanding this.

Hawks in the United States have wanted war with Iran for decades.

Trump talked about it in his first term.

Trump also still clearly harbors resentment for Obama, quote-unquote, getting bin Laden.
