Former US Ambassador Chas Freeman on Treasury Sec. Bessent's take on IRAN: “One part of Mr. Bessent's statement that I agree with is that Iran is like a cornered animal. When you corner an animal, it doesn't become more docile, it becomes more ferocious.”

👈 Danny Citrinowicz @citrinowicz — who for 25 years ran the Iran desk in Israeli military intelligence — has, in an interview with Mossad Files, analyzed Israel’s war on Iran and the other fronts. ✅ #Mossad_and_IDF_terrorism in #Iran, #Gaza and the #West_Bank, #Lebanon, #Iraq, #Syria and #Yemen has been, operationally, #brilliant. ✅ Strategically, that terrorism, sabotage, and the wrecking of infrastructure count as #failure. ✅ Because #Hezbollah, #Hamas, the #Islamic_Republic and the #Houthis — and the rest — are still alive. ✅ The measure of Israel’s security is the #number_of_fronts_closed, not the #number_of_brilliant_assassinations across these #seven_fronts or the #destruction_of_Gaza. ✅ The #genocide_in_Gaza, the #war_crimes_in_Gaza, the #Holocaust_in_Gaza (terms Danny neither used nor uses) have, in world opinion, #stripped_Israel_of_legitimacy. And that is more dangerous for an #Israel_armed_with_hundreds_of_nuclear_warheads than Iran’s nuclear industry. ✅ America’s full partnership with Israel in #wars_of_aggression_against_other_countries means a #joint_beginning_and_an_ending_on_America’s_command. 🔺 Read the entire interview here, recast in the style of #analytic_philosophy👇👇

Yes, but thats why you dispatch the animal.

Except that animals respond out of instinct. Humans should be rational.
