Fossil fuel interests spent nearly $100 million on Trump's re-election. Then the industry pumped $19 million into his inaugural fund.

Israel now *needs* Iran to respond.
Israel can then focus on itself being attacked & demand that Western “allies” rally round it.
Iran’s best move is not to respond now- and rather let global criticism of Israel over Gaza, West Bank and their strike on Iran to build to breaking point.
