It looks like it’s all orchestrated by Iran. Hezbollah, under Iran control, Hamas and Yemeni rebels. Hamas shooting at Israel in a way that they clearly knew would necessitate a massive response. What I’m wondering is what they gain from this. Perhaps solidarity from other powers in the Middle East, causing hatred of Israel? I’m also wondering if this is all covering action for China to tie down the US while China attempts to take Taiwan. We might be living through what in the future textbooks will be under the heading of factors leading up to.
I’m guessing it’s as simple as goading Israel to overreact, which blows apart a main US geopolitical goal of normalizing relations between Israel and the Arab states.
This is also a way to help out their new best friend Russia by pulling attention from Ukraine. It Russia takes Ukraine it will gain a lot of power, money, and military technology. With how much Iran is helping Russia now you know Iran will get a nice cut.
I think its a plan to over extend America. They are designed to fight two wars against major powers alone and win both - but I doubt they can do that with assets tied up in middle east, massive political division and civil unrest at home. Also wouldn’t be surprised if this is seeing what assets can be taken out with a first strike - those carriers aren’t as safe that close to land as you would think.
Edit: Korea also kicking off - similar theatre to China/Taiwan but another player in the mix
