The old neocon dream of redrawing the Middle East through a series of regime changes to the benefit of the US and Israel, shelved for over a decade, has returned to the forefront
The sudden ceasefire “imposed” on Israel and Iran on June 24 by US President Donald Trump, in what many have dubbed the “12-day war”, most likely does not mark the end of hostilities, but rather the beginning of a broader and more dangerous confrontation for hegemony in the Middle East, with possible global ramifications.
The twelve days of conflict we witnessed represent a destabilising escalation in the confrontation between Israel and Iran, which has shifted from the “shadow war” of previous decades to a direct military clash.
In the former, Iran had troubled Israel primarily through its regional allies, especially Hamas and Hezbollah. Israel, for its part, had conducted a series of covert operations — acts of sabotage and targeted killings — on Iranian soil, often using local partners.
In the latter, the two countries directly attacked each other’s territories (albeit at a distance, as they do not share a border). The first signs of this escalation came with the “missile exchanges” between the two countries in April and October 2024.
In both the “shadow war” of past decades and the direct confrontation that ended on June 24, Israel was supported by the United States.
“Real men want to go to Tehran”
Ever since the 1979 revolution, when Iran withdrew from the American alliance system in the region, the Islamic Republic has been seen by Washington as an enemy to eliminate.
The American approach remained unchanged even after Iran’s revolutionary drive lost its initial momentum and it became clear that the revolution would not spread beyond Iran’s borders.
Reading about national coalescence and the hardliners getting the upper hand in Iran as unintended consequence of the 12 day war.

Who said the Neocon war pigs view this as an unintended consequence?
