Iran’s attack is not about helping Gaza. The only times Iran has directly attacked Israel has been in response to direct attacks on Iran. As long as Israel refrains from doing that, Iran has demonstrated itself as willing to stay stand back and let it’s proxies fend for themselves.
Decapitating the leadership that came to that conclusion is an interesting choice. Especially considering decades of history that shows what results from military action aimed at regime change…
Also, for what it is worth, all the liberal coverage I have seen been putting the blame primarily on Israel. With a side of Trump pulling out of the JCPOA.
What is the metric of success. Iran wants the US to stay out of the region. Nothing about our response to 9/11 suggests that that is how we would respond to an attack on our soil.
