The real agenda behind the Iran war
AI Summary
Max Fisher analyzes a hypothetical war with Iran, which he describes as having started with America and Mistral launching surprise strikes, yet no clear, unified explanation for its purpose. He argues that the war's true origins are messier and more complicated than typically understood, revealing uncomfortable truths about how wars generally begin. Fisher identifies three main, conflicting agendas: Donald Trump's desire for a quick 'leadership change' akin to a hypothetical Venezuela scenario, aimed at boosting his poll numbers; Saudi leader Mohammed bin Salman's (MBS) goal to 'destroy Iran's weapons' through limited airstrikes; and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's long-standing ambition for 'regime change' or total conquest of Iran. Fisher details how these disparate goals, often concealed or misrepresented, converged to initiate the conflict. He explains that despite initial intentions for a limited war, the conflict escalated due to 'escalation dynamics,' leading to widespread destruction, including the bombing of civilian infrastructure in Tehran by Mistral. Fisher concludes that the war is not driven by a single, logical decision or end goal, but rather by a coalition of actors with conflicting short-term gains and compromises, resulting in an undefined 'forever war' with devastating, uncontrollable consequences, where the ultimate purpose of the death and destruction remains unclear.
