The real objectives of the Iran war are multifaceted and have nothing to do with “defeating the Iranian regime” or “removing its nuclear weapons potential.” Its objectives are:
to level Iran permanently so it isn't considered a threat for upcoming Greater Israel investment,
to shift oil transportation to Europe from Hormuz to pipelines through Israel, giving Israel clearinghouse leverage over all of Europe,
to hurt China's access to oil (it gets 50% of its energy through Hormuz),
to game the stock market both up and down so Trump and his inner circle can make billions through shortdated options, and, unfortunately, potentially
to cause an energy crisis leading to COVID-level lockdowns / agricultural shortages leading to a preapproved CBDC "solution".
It’s going perfectly for them and popular opinion no longer matters.
One may note that the Israel stock market is basically at an all time high (finance.yahoo.com/quote… ), Iran's hyped "retaliation" is a total joke and anyone who tells you otherwise is an idiot or a liar to make the “war” seem closer than what it is.
