Collectively, they have clung on to a status quo of unconditional support for Israel and, in doing so, shattered the legal and moral conventions that imbued them with any measure of integrity or authority.
The IDS claimed that jets that were destroyed by their military were intended for use against their aircraft and to thwart Israel's attacks on Iranian territory.
Israel strikes 6 Iranian military airports, 15 fighter jets and helicopters destroyed
The political centre sees the US and Israel’s war on Iran as a crisis to be managed, while the gap between their detached rhetoric and bloody reality widens.
Rhetoric, Ability to fight and Incapability of addressing and challenging the root cause of the 'war 2025' are in debate !!
As the US joins Israel in attacking Iran, and the Middle East heads toward a calamitous unravelling, their inertness is more disorienting than ever. They are passengers in Israel’s war, either resigned to the consequences or fundamentally unwilling to even question its wisdom. As reality screams at politicians across the west, they shuffle papers and reheat old rhetoric, all while deferring to an Israel and a White House that have long taken leave of their senses.
At a time of extreme geopolitical risk the centre presents itself as the wise party in the fracas, making appeals for cool heads and diplomacy, but is entirely incapable of addressing or challenging the root cause.
The president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, underlines the importance of diplomacy while making sure to assert that Iran is the “principal source” of instability in the region.
The French president, Emmanuel Macron, had seemed to be inhabiting the real world, warning against the inevitable chaos that would be triggered by regime change in Iran and in repeating the mistakes of the past.
But by Sunday France had fallen into line, joining the chorus calling for de-escalation and restraint in vague general terms, and reiterating “firm opposition” to Iran’s nuclear programme.
Giorgia Meloni, Emmanuel Macron, Mark Carney, Donald Trump and Keir Starmer will have to do more.
According to an article in 'The Guardian', London---
"Trump is Trump. No one is expecting him to have a coherent, brave and stabilising response to Israel. But the problem predates him: a political establishment of ostensibly liberal, reliable custodians of stability that has no moral compass...".
In the meantime, the bitter truth is the international and human rights law has been violated again and again in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria and now Iran.
Its answer has been to get out of Israel’s way at best, and arm it and provide it with diplomatic cover at worst. Joe Biden’s administration set the tone, and European governments followed." "
The IDF continues to intensify its attacks on the Iranian regime's military capabilities and will continue to work to achieve air superiority in order to maintain the security of the State of Israel.
The IDF said there were facilities from where missiles were recently launched by Iran towards Israeli territory. "Defense systems are working to intercept the threat".
