The Biden administration announced that, for the first time since the war on Gaza began, American troops were deployed to Israel to fight alongside the Zionist military in preparation for the expected attack on Iran. Thus, it is no longer officially only Israel’s war on Gaza and Lebanon but an Israeli-American imperialism war against the Arabs and Muslims of the region. This was a war between the imperialists and the semi-colonies.
Netanyahu has been planning to drag the U.S. to a war against Iran from the very beginning, and now he is getting what he had in mind for years. Yesterday, Hezbollah sent a drone that slammed near his house in Caesarea. The Zionist Prime Minister’s Office said that Netanyahu and his wife were not at the location. No casualties were reported, and yet he blames Iran for an attempt to assassinate him.
Prof. Amatzia Baram, a Zionist Middle East expert, pointed out that Hezbollah’s Deputy Secretary-General Naim Qassem delivered two notable speeches recently. In the first, following the assassination of Hashem Safieddine, Nasrallah’s deputy, Qassem, called for a ceasefire, though without ensuring it would apply to Gaza. This speech surprised many, as Nasrallah typically connected the northern fighting with a cease-fire in Gaza. In the second speech, he said: “No ceasefire in the north as long as the war in Gaza continued.”
Baram claims: “Hezbollah was ready for a ceasefire in any case, but Iran doesn’t want to appear as if it has abandoned Hamas. Thus, they are pushing for continued fighting in the north.” He added, “Tehran changed Qassem’s position, realigning Beirut with Nasrallah.”[i] This will more than likely lead to a full regional war. A significant question addressed was whether Iran sought to target Netanyahu directly. Baram pointed to Hezbollah’s drone attack on Netanyahu’s Caesarea residence as evidence of Iran’s capability to strike close to his home. “The Iranians knew the drone wouldn’t hit Netanyahu directly, but it was a symbolic message. They want to show they can reach anywhere,” Baram said. This is not necessarily true, but it serves Netanyahu’s plan to attack Iran very hard and to drag the U.S. to the war.
For the military victory of Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran!
