Oh its not about the nuclear stuff, I don't think even the Trump admin believes that shit, even though they lie about it. I mean it from a military point of view and geopolitically.
Israel, USA and USA's partners in the area (Middle East) stand to gain because the Islamic regime is the one financing opposing factions in the are.
And on a larger scale, USA and USA's allies stand to win because the Islamic regime is the one actively aiding Russia in its war of conquest against an European country - for how many months/years now ... 3 years? 4 years? I lost track. Anyway, for a loooong time they have sent thousands upon thousands of drones to bomb Ukraine.
You mean who opposing factions to US? Yemen? Lebanon? Syria? Iraq? Are you high? Wtf does the US have to do with these third-world countries in the middleeast?
Furthermore, India, North Korea and even China trade and help Russia in its wars. Iran had to trade with them because of US sanctions in first place.
If the US wanted to boost trade, economy, and stability of the environment and peace in the reigon, and actually help the people of Iran, they would have lifted sanctions and trade with them instead of this. Thay way the US would even have irresistable leverage on Iran that would force it to not send a dime to finance Russia in its war as you said.
Lastly, I dont know who you are referring to by US allies.. or US government allies.. and how do you define an ally. A genocidal aparthied and oppresive family dictatorships are considered US allies by your standards?
USA/Israel don't care about the Iranian people, that's merely a propaganda stunt.
An open conflict with China is undesirable by both parties almost in equal measure. NK is already sanctioned up the ass, an open conflict would lead to a conflict with China. And I would like you to notice that India is being gradually weaned off the Russian teat, so to speak. Take a look at India's trends in regards to defense-related imports. Its not a process that started recently, but almost a decade ago. They used to get +65% of their shit from Russia, but in the present that number dropped to 40% and they've been replaced by France and Israel. I have a hunch that these numbers will continue to lean geopolitically west-ward.
India buying of Russian oil has been deemed as an acceptable cost, as they value India's resources more - and India's greatest value is people, they have a lot of those. Cheap labour for western capital.
Hence the "mother of all deals" that was recently signed.
I'm sorry. Are you new to the whole USA business?
