Consider: Israel has reason to destroy Iranian Drone Factories... [View all]
Iran provides Russia with drones. One of Russia's drone factories was blasted a week or so ago.
Russia still needs drones, and they are consuming them at a high rate, have turned to using them in large waves to try to overwhelm Ukraine's air defenses. Russia needs lots of drones. Iran provides them. And Israel now attacked by Iranian drones, has good reason to destroy Iran's drone industry.
The drone attacks on Israel will FORCE Israeli retaliation on Iran. That's just a given considering how Israel's population must feel. And what better for "our interests" than an Israeli attack on Iranian Drone production? We get a very willing proxy to do something our other ally, Ukraine -fighting to save Europe from Russia's pseudo-czar- really would benefit from having happen.
The US wouldn't need to strictly "participate". Biden wouldn't have to lie. Sure we might provide some targeting data, maybe access to secure GPS. But, our closest ally in the region, perhaps in the world, has the means to deliver such an attack without US weapons being involved. Biden clearly doesn't want to invite attacks on our assets, here or abroad, and an Israeli attack would give the US plausible deniability of having been part of the plot. That deniability is so desirable it borders on being PERFECT cover.
Probably take a week to 10 days to 'suss' out all the details.
I'll be watching to see the outcome.
