In a show of force, a provocation to Iran, and a veiled invitation to draw it into sending a batch of its drones and missiles to Israel, the US military displayed its forces from a military base in Israel, as if sending a message to Iran hoping it will make the mistake of striking the US force stationed in Israel.

Tehran understood the message and was not drawn into a war with Israel, because it knows Tel Aviv's reaction and appreciates the scale of the hell that would befall it if it joined America in a new bilateral war against Iran, after reviewing the effects of the previous joint war between Israel and America against Iran.

Iran confines itself to sending its missiles and drones to the Gulf Cooperation Council countries and Jordan, whether they host US bases or not. Iranian attacks usually target infrastructure and civilian objects, and none of them hit US military bases. It limits its attacks to these countries because it realizes their self-imposed distance from entering this war and their opposition to escalating the fighting.

Iran, which has suspended the memorandum of understanding with America and refuses to hold a new meeting to activate what was agreed upon, must return to diplomacy, dialogue, and understanding away from the use of force in new rounds, especially after it has become powerless to prevent America from the impact of its strikes on vital and military sites.

If Israel prepares to enter the war, as leaked news in its media says, then this will accelerate the end of Iran, forcing it to accept American and Israeli dictates and demands, whether regarding the nuclear reactor, the Strait of Hormuz, or supporting terrorist militias, without obtaining the lifting of sanctions, the release of its deposits in foreign banks, or the lifting of the naval blockade that surrounds it.

In our view, Iran's options for getting out of the dark tunnel seem very limited and not beneficial to it. America has encircled it, deepened its blockade, and exhausted it, leaving Iran with no opportunity to maneuver or evade a resounding defeat that may occur quickly and soon, more than expected.

Iran's reliance in facing this fierce war on sending drones and missiles to the Gulf Cooperation Council countries and Jordan, and hitting their infrastructure, will not save it from drowning, will not protect it from painful American strikes, and will not place it in a strong position capable of continuing to control the Strait of Hormuz and threatening ships from passing through this strait.

* *

The danger to Iran will escalate more than if President Trump allowed Israel to enter the war again as a party, meaning that the decision being cooked in the White House is to completely end Iranian power and subject the country to division into mini-states, with America relying on using the diversity of the population and the dissatisfaction of many of them with the mullahs' control over governance, without justice and equality among citizens.
