Israel to ‘escalate in Lebanon’ after failing to defeat Iran – Max Blumenthal

Max Blumenthal, editor-in-chief of The Grayzone, states that Israel will continue to escalate conflict in Lebanon after failing to break Iran’s deterrence. He claims Israel is vulnerable to Iranian counterattacks and relies on US firepower, which has not been sufficient. Blumenthal also suggests Israel will target dissenting voices in the US through various means.

• Israel will continue attempts to escalate conflict in Lebanon after failing to break Iran’s deterrence.
• Israeli officials criticize the US-Iran memorandum of understanding as not serving Israel’s interests.
• The IDF continues striking Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, potentially violating the MOU.
• Israel is unable to break Iran’s deterrence and is vulnerable to Iranian counterattacks.
• Israel may target dissenting voices in the US through the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC and paid influencers.
