🇺🇸 🇮🇱 🇮🇷 Leaks that Washington is “controlling” Israel may be political cover for whatever strike comes next.
Joe Kent says the stories about the Trump administration reining Israel in could be about dodging blame when the next round hits, and he traces the war straight back to Israel:
“The Israelis did get us into this thing. They’ve taken every action to keep us into it.”
If Israel does strike first, those leaks will shape who American voters blame… just days before they head to the polls.

Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal)🇺🇸 🇮🇷 Washington reportedly signaled no strike on Iran until after the midterms, and Tehran may now race to hit first.
Joe Kent, the ex-Green Beret who ran the National Counterterrorism Center until March, says keeping the blockade, the sanctions and the threats in place has handed Iran every reason to move before that window closes:
“By remaining in the region and continuing the bellicose rhetoric, continuing the economic sanctions, keeping the blockade on, we basically have become a self-fulfilling prophecy.”
The White House now has to choose between absorbing a first strike or launching its own before Election Day.
