In a move that could ignite the Middle East, the Israeli military has been ordered to prepare for a simultaneous, multi-front war against Iran, Lebanon, and the West Bank. This acceleration of war preparations, reported by Israeli Channel 12 news, comes as Israel actively fuels violent unrest inside Iran, setting the stage for a catastrophic regional confrontation that could easily draw in the United States. The timing is no accident; it reveals a calculated strategy to weaken a key regional rival by any means necessary.
According to the reports, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are operating under a new four-year plan led by Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir. This plan envisions a "dramatic expansion" of military activity, even extending to developing space-based weapons capabilities to attack satellites and ground targets. Officials in West Jerusalem reportedly believe Iran may lash out militarily to prevent the collapse of its government under the pressure of protests—protests that Israel itself is manipulating.
What began as genuine economic protests in Iran has been transformed into a covert Israeli intelligence operation. Israel’s Mossad spy agency has openly backed the protests on social media and claimed it has agents embedded within the demonstrations. Former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo all but confirmed the operation, stating, "Happy New Year to every Iranian in the streets. Also to every Mossad agent walking beside them…". Analysts note the current violence lacks unifying popular slogans or causes, instead featuring isolated armed attacks and riots coordinated through encrypted channels, a hallmark of hybrid warfare.
This is not about supporting freedom. It is about engineering chaos to justify preemptive strikes. As analyst Robert Inlakesh notes, "There is no need to pretend otherwise; it is crystal clear that this is an attack on Iran using agents on the ground." The goal is regime change, a long-sought objective for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who also has a vested personal interest in perpetuating a state of war to hold onto his own political position.
The path to war is being paved with American complicity. During a recent meeting with Netanyahu, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to back new airstrikes on Iran if it rebuilds its ballistic missile program. More ominously, Trump has threatened direct military intervention under the guise of protecting protesters. "We are locked and loaded and ready to go" if Iran kills "peaceful protesters," he declared on Truth Social.
This follows a dangerous precedent. Last June, Trump ordered the U.S. military to join Israel in coordinated strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. Now, following the U.S. abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro—a move analysts say signals a new lawlessness—the threat to Iran feels more imminent. Israeli politician Yair Lapid explicitly warned Tehran to "pay close attention to what is happening in Venezuela."
The involvement goes beyond threats. Hebrew media reported that Netanyahu "managed to extract every demand with which he came to Mar-a-Lago," suggesting Trump is prepared to attack Iran on Israel’s behalf. This subordination of American policy to Zionist interests is a recipe for national suicide, potentially leading to thousands of U.S. casualties, a decimated navy in the Persian Gulf, and draped coffins returning home.
The consequences of this provoked war would be devastating and global. A conflict with Iran would likely see the Strait of Hormuz—a chokepoint for 20% of the world’s oil—blocked, triggering an unprecedented energy crisis. Oil prices could skyrocket, collapsing Western economies. As U.S. forces faced retaliatory missile barrages, the humanitarian toll would be staggering, with countless civilians caught in the crossfire of a war with no clear exit strategy.
The only winners would be global powers like Russia, which would see its energy exports triple in value, and China, which would watch its primary geopolitical rival bleed itself dry in another endless Middle East war. The "war on terror" playbook has failed; this new war for "regional dominance" could fail even more spectacularly, sacrificing American blood and treasure for a foreign nation’s expansionist vision.
We are witnessing a deliberate and reckless march toward a conflict that serves the interests of a desperate Israeli government and its allies in Washington, but not the American people. The manipulation of protests, the escalation of threats, and the preparation for multi-front war reveal a strategy built on deception whose end result can only be ruin. The world cannot afford another war built on lies, but unless cooler heads prevail, we may all be forced to pay the price.
