Long-running tensions between Iran and Israel, which previously took the form of Israel regularly bombing the IRGC and its allies like Hezbollah in Syria, dramatically worsened since the start of the latest Israeli-Hamas War.

Expect, then, the American/NATO war machine to pivot away from Ukraine, to keep China on ice and to focus on Iran, Israel’s most recent bête noire.
