What is the goal? If it's regime change, without boots on ground land conquest, I don't think a few airstrikes or missile salvos can change the regime of 90 million to be pro-West. If anything, Iran will sprint to nuclear capabilities and be fervently anti-Western, potentially dragging US deeper in Middle East, requiring boots on the ground.The US has won this battle against Iran. Now they are assassinating leaders without any restraint, and nothing truly harmful happens to them. Any new Iranian leader will simply be killed until a subservient vassal is appointed. Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. Neutralized and reduced to controlled chaos quickly, just like Libya, Syria, and Venezuela.
In the coming months, it's easy to predict that the focus will shift to Russia. Zelensky already tried to kill Putin a few months ago and suffered no consequences. It's a fact that Putin is losing respect internally. He's acting like Khamenei. Ukraine already eliminated several Russian generals and attacked Russian factories and refineries, and Putin responds only with predictable missiles against useless power plants that affect only poor people that nobody cares about and eliminate only low ranking Ukrainian soldiers and militaries. Just like Iran against the provocations of the US and Israel in the last decade. The entire Western and Ukrainian command is intact and richer than ever. If Putin is killed, it's likely that the corrupt Russian military won't risk a Third World War or use nuclear weapons and will simply surrender.
And this is where the real interest of this American move lies: to isolate China and threaten to eliminate all leaders of countries that might ally with the Chinese, while China is not yet strong enough to intervene globally.
The Epstein empire is capable of raping, killing, and eating children without punishment. Diplomacy, containment, and negotiations with them are merely a stage to ridicule anyone who still tries to do so.
There is no strategy involved, the whole trying to hurt China is also a cope, because getting bogged down in another Middle East conflict helps China, and weakens US financially and military.
In other words, how does US starting a multi-front war in Latin America, Middle East, Eastern Europe, hurt China? That's like end of empire type flailing and desperateness.
