"I am going to say something that violates every norm of political commentary, and I say it not to wound but because I think it is true and because I think it is relevant.
Graham is, by the overwhelming consensus of Washington — a city that keeps very few secrets — a closeted homosexual."
This is one of the more astute analyses I have read regarding this unfolding global abuse of power by our ruling class transactional fanatics. Especially regarding the present and future tragic global innocents’ suffering.
Interesting analogy. There is some merit to it, but it misses a significant point. The whale was not interested in pursuing Ahab until itself pursued. Iran had relatively cordial relations with Israel prior to the revolution overthrowing the Shah’s regime. Since its inception, the leadership of the Islamic Republic and its various military units have been obsessed with destroying Israel and to some extent Jews around the world (e.g., Argentina bombing). Israel’s reaction and perhaps overreaction must be understood in that context. I’m not going to go through the history, but suffice to say that when some nation says they are going to wipe you out for decades and attempts to do so through proxies or otherwise, the current reaction should not be a surprise.

I will alert the media.
Shocked, are we?
I had no idea.
To understand nations adequately or at all, it's always a good start to read their Constitution (as always skimming Preamble/Recitals rhetoric). Iran's may be found at https://ecnl.org/sites/default/files/files/2021/IranConstitution.pdf

‘And the whale swam on’
And the writing here, let alone the politics. Loving reading @Mike Brock
