Was it "theater" Steve? Maybe, and maybe it was a joint effort in the production by both Israel and the US. Why you ask? The easy and obvious answer is to move the needle stuck on stuck called the House of Representatives and the shameless and hapless Mike Johnson.

Sorry for all of us that the world at large is being played by puppet master trump who just keeps pulling the strings of the god (small g intended) fearing man, johnson (small j intended). We've come to the point where the world order is far less important than trump being restored to his throne.

Does anyone in their right mind see that is logical or reasonable?

Taking this from Hillel Fuld at https://twitter.com/HilzFuld/status/1779835923833721082 (recommend reading the whole thread):

"Iran is shaking in its boots right now. They are humiliated. They are the laughing stock of the Arab world. They already know they can’t mess with us.

I am more than happy to let them fear us and not sleep at night knowing we might attack at any moment.

[...]

So, the four options.

- Don’t retaliate at all. Take the win and walk.

- Retaliate now. Hit them now and hit them hard.

- Wait. Prepare ourselves in collaboration with our allies, enjoy the global support, and plan a military strike the likes of which the world has never seen.

- Attack secretly and don’t take responsibility.

Which option do you think is best?"

I think 3 is the best option, followed by 1, 4, and 2 (which I think 2 is a bad idea and will lead to a wider regional conflict, which will not be good for anyone).
