Hacktivism erupts in Middle East as Israel declares war

It certainly aligns with their interests-- this new development will absolutely divert western attention and resources from the defense of Ukraine.

Despite that, my money is on the Saudis stirring shit up again. Financing terrorists to fight against western interests is kinda their thing. Say what you will about Russia, but they clearly fight and die in their own battles.

If the US gets bogged down with a conflict in the Pacific, Ukraine and Israel are going to be in serious trouble...World War 3 will likely ensue.

They have been designated as a state sponsor of terrorism for decades now.

There's been a lot of propaganda portraying Iran as a nation full of irrational extremists who would rather the world die in nuclear fire than live next to Israel, but that is not based in reality. Israel has nuclear weapons, and is very nervous about having a close neighbor with the same level of power. Iran is understandably nervous about not having nuclear weapons while Israel has them. Proliferation is a bitch.

Of course it doesn't help that Palestinians, the original Muslim inhabitants, are treated as sub-humans by Zionist Jews so there's very bitter hatred between the two groups.
