 The Iranian Crisis Is Spiraling Into Dangerous Territory.
 Prof John Mearsheimer(@MearsheimerJ
) warns that Netanyahu is "flailing" and "trying to figure out how he can rescue the situation." With the failure of conventional efforts, "there is a growing fear that "the only way you can do that is to destroy Iran as a functioning society."

As Iran becomes further incentivized to seek a nuclear deterrent, the risk of a catastrophic escalation reaches a breaking point. Mearsheimer cautions that in such a "giant mess," states often "pursue remarkably risky strategies" - including the unthinkable use of nuclear weapons.

This isn't just a regional struggle; it’s a global security crisis where "the Israelis view Iran as an existential threat." - though it is crucial to note, this "existential threat" only exists because of the war of choice Israel convinced Trump to launch.  This "giant mess" should never have materialized.

Watch this sobering analysis now to understand the high stakes of the Hormuz Strait blockade.
