But there’s definitely a larger play on this than Iran and Israel, the pentagon definitely sees the broader theater, one miscalculation of the wrong long term strategy can have severe implications. But “Iran” isn’t just a singular subject here, from this perspective, empirically it’s the US that is being played and I’m sure the pentagon is sounding the alarm, though the politicians that are bought and paid for seem to have another objective.
