  1. This is a crucial window for Israel - hence the very real questions remaining about October 7 - and the US potentially gets to fulfill its previously stated aim of regime change in Iran. Thus, I suspect, the good cop/bad cop regime that they're both playing out whereby the US urges restraint, an aggrieved Israel doesn't listen and escalates with impunity and then Iran is forced to retaliate so as not to look weak. Ultimately it's ALL about how this contrived narrative plays with Western audiences and whether popular consent for war can be successfully manufactured as earlier with both Iraq and Afghanistan.
