'There may be a truce in the latest lopsided war in Gaza by the time you read this, but it looks a lot like the previous ones in 2008, 2014 and 2021,' writes Gwynn Dyer. 'But there are a few differences this time.'

Donald Trump’s trashing of the 2015 treaty limiting Iran’s nuclear research has had the predicted result. Iran may still not intend to build actual nuclear weapons, but it has achieved a ‘threshold capability’ that lets it do so quickly, if seriously threatened. “We have told the world we are not willing to take it anymore,” caretaker prime minister Yair Lapid said last month. “If the Iranians are bringing war to our doorstep, then they’re going to find war at theirs.”

I don’t know if this is a trial run of the new strategy, designed to put Iran on notice even before it gets any nuclear weapons or just some over-enthusiastic mowing of the grass.
