Any such attack will not be designed to weaken Iran’s already shattered nuclear programme, the chief target of the 12-day war in June, but to target Iran’s political leadership and bring the protesters angered by falling living standards back into the streets.
This article is striking in that in discussing US/Israel bombing Iran there is not the slightest pretense of a US attack being pre-emptive destruction of an Iranian nuclear program, or any nonsense about drugs – it’s just right up front about overthrowing the government. Destruction of the Iranian government is justified because. Because the US and Israel want to do it. There’s no hint of justification under any sort of international law.
