Palestine Chronicle’s Robert Inlakesh discusses Washington’s position in the face of increased tensions in the region.
After the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas’ political leader, in Tehran, the United States stated that Washington would help Israel in implementing its right to “self-defense”.
Despite the fact that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered his war-mongering speech before the US Congress, somehow US mainstream media and policymakers in Washington are still claiming that Israel is the victim.
Iran immediately informed the United Nations of its intention to retaliate under Article 51 of the UN Charter and that it was clear that Haniyeh’s assassination was a blatant act of war by Israel.
However, the Biden Administration could not even bring itself to acknowledge that Iran had any right to self-defense.
Instead, the US began to increase its military presence in the Middle East.

Israel has done nothing but OFFEND. why should they be defended?
Because there is money to be made in the US military industrial complex. It’s essentially money laundering.
The US turned into a monster using the petrodollar to skim a percentage of the world’s oil consumption. That corruption allowed the US to run completely roughshod over the world after the USSR fell. These sanctions and crimes against humanity have got to stop — one way or another.
George Washington in his final speech, did warn the newly constituted United States of America, “It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world;” https://www.georgewashington.org/farewell-address.jsp but as far as Israel goes, that seems to be the norm without a formal alliance structure.
