The article critiques the U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran, emphasizing parallels with the 2003 invasion of Iraq. It argues that both nations failed to learn from past mistakes, citing the false claims about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction as a precursor to current narratives regarding Iran's nuclear capabilities. The piece contends that the actual motives behind these military actions are rooted in geopolitical strategy rather than genuine concerns for democracy or security, aiming instead to undermine potential resistance to current U.S. and Israeli ambitions in the region.
"As many experts and officials already knew before the 2003 invasion began, Saddam Hussein's regime did not have weapons of mass destruction and held no ties to al-Qaeda."
"For the US and Israel, the desired outcome of the war was an Iraq that would not pose any resistance to the Israeli settler-colonial project in Palestine and its role as an agent of US imperial power in the region."
