   “Since October 7, 2023 it would appear a spontaneous chain of events is leading the Middle East deeper and deeper into conflict... In reality, almost verbatim, US-Israeli diplomacy (or lack thereof) and military operations are following a carefully laid out policy described in the pages of the Brooking Institution’s 2009 paper, 'Which Path to Persia? Options for a New American Strategy Toward Iran'.”

     “Because Americans are accustomed to hearing that Iran is the embodiment of evil, some readers may be inclined to blame Tehran for all this trouble. Just last week, for example, the NY Times announced that Iran was 'flooding' the West Bank with weapons in the hopes of stirring up unrest there.

     “Far from a series of diplomatic blunders, the escalating tensions in the Middle East are part of a long-standing US policy of baiting Iran into open war in pursuit of containment and regime change;
