The real reasons for the US-Israeli war on Iran, explained
In its war on Iran, the US empire seeks to impose hegemony in West Asia (Middle East), destroy Axis of Resistance, colonize Palestine, overturn Iranian Revolution, preserve petrodollar, divide BRICS
The United States and Israel are jointly waging war on Iran, but why? What are their real goals?
What the US empire would like to accomplish is the following:
Maintain US hegemony in West Asia (aka the Middle East)
Destroy the anti-colonial Axis of Resistance, making possible the total colonization of Palestine
Prevent Iran from ever developing nuclear capabilities
Overthrow or at least weaken Iran's independent, revolutionary government
Scare other countries in the region that may seek to move away from the US and the dollar (especially the Gulf monarchies)
Preserve the petrodollar system, ensuring global demand for the US dollar
Destabilize BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, divide the Global South, and disrupt the multipolar project
Break up the Iran-Russia-China partnership, with the ultimate goal of isolating Beijing
That said, it is of course by no means guaranteed that these goals will be achieved.

Clear and accurate analysis, good idea the topic by topic time codes. Thank you for this and all your other very helpful analyses

Thank you for breaking this situation down into easy to understand steps. I figured the control of Iran's oil reserves and maintaining the petrodollar were at the top of the list, but the idea of breaking up BRICS and weakening China and Russia makes perfect sense. Warmongering genocide-enablers like Trump think all it takes is dropping a MOAB or a nuke bomb on one country to keep them on top of the heap. How little we learn from history!
