America's former Secretary of State Blinken said on March 8: "As early as during Obama's administration, Israel had urged Obama to take military action against Iran and warned that if Obama did not act, they would take action themselves."
Blinken also said that the Trump administration should first explain to the American people why it is necessary to go to war with Iran, why it is necessary now?
Comments: Blinken's remarks reveal a long-standing truth: for many years, Israel has been actively pushing the United States to take military action against Iran. If not cooperating, they will act on their own. The United States' Middle East policy has always been deeply tied to the security demands of its allies. His request for Trump to explain the reasons for going to war highlights the current lack of legal authorization for the U.S. actions against Iran, ignoring the costs and consequences. It essentially places personal political positions and the interests of allies above the interests of the American people and global stability. The continued escalation of the war in the Middle East stems from this irresponsible power-driven decision-making.
