Iran and Hizbullah Are Waging an Orchestrated Campaign of Aggression


(Substack) Dan Perry - The world community would do well to grasp a fundamental truth: the messy Israeli-Palestinian conflict should not be conflated with the threat posed by Iran and its jihadist proxies, where Israel is totally in the right as the party that is under attack. Hizbullah's Iran-driven aggression is the marquee element of an unrelenting effort to expand Iranian influence through violence, terror, and a bizarrely effective Islamist gaslighting campaign. Hizbullah's attacks on Israel are not about land or freedom, even if they have invented a handful of trivial border demarcation disputes in order to bamboozle the gullible. This is not a fight for justice or self-determination but an orchestrated campaign of aggression. Ignoring the threat posed by Hizbullah and Iran is not a viable option. Iran's ambitions in the region are clear, and its pursuit of nuclear weapons is a ticking time bomb that the world cannot afford to ignore. Allowing this to be Israel's problem alone is a terrible mistake. The writer is former chief editor of the Associated Press in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
