The USA is currently exhausting its resources in confrontation with Iran, but one would contemplate the cause for such collaboration between Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu. The blurry distinctions between America’s and Israel’s shared diplomatic goals have long been the subject of debate amongst policy analysts. Israel’s motive for the new world order dominates the towering presence of Washington’s regional posture. This includes the joint drills conducted by US and Israeli forces and the 250 bipartisan US legislators who attended the “50 states, one Israel” conference arranged by Washington. What seems like policy synchronisation gradually raises the question: Is Israel shaping the contours of American foreign policy?
The reasoning given by the US on account of regime change and Iran’s nuclear proliferation is empty rhetoric, which observers view as unconvincing and hypocritical notions. If the regime change were the main concern, then the US itself owes an explanation for its president’s relationship with the notorious sex offender Epstein. The true reason for this war is Iran’s refusal to conform to Western demands. It opposes the shared doctrine of the US and Israel, mainly the geopolitical visions tied to Agenda 2030, which makes it a target for such violence. Iran is also not a signatory to the 2020 Abraham Accords, arranged by the US to normalise diplomatic relations between Israel and several Arab states. In contrast, Iran has been strongly against this accord. Interestingly enough, so are Syria and Lebanon, both of which have also been under attack by Israel and the USA’s closest ally in the Middle East, the UAE. The report points out a pattern of deliberately targeting states that resist or oppose the US-Israeli axis. This analysis does not focus on the defiance of Middle Eastern states but instead highlights the concealed nexus in the long-standing relationship between Washington and Tel Aviv, where US policy subordination is obscured by their close ties.
This is more than aligning states with a particular framework or the reign of petrodollar dynamics, but positioning Israel as a central actor in the global power dynamics. This campaign is an effort to colonise the world, just like the US once did, but the question remains. Why the sudden vigor — and more importantly, why now? The US is fighting Israel’s war all while promoting pro-Israel algorithms on its social platforms. Some analysts argue that Afghanistan would stand as the first contender to deserve such intervention on the basis of US reasons for interference in Iran, but eliminating possible resistances and reinstating Israel as a superpower is the gameplay for the next chess move of the USA. Iran, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen are being used as examples to not stand up against the new hegemony in the region.
The invocation of Agenda 2030 may provide some evidence for this fixation. While it is publicised as an initiative by the United Nations for sustainable development, its technological surveillance and geopolitical alignment point the other way. Critics interpret this as a way to gain global control and expand influence. The agenda is not about military dominance of the US anymore but a systematic attempt to redraw borders on sheer will and push the boundaries of sovereignty. From fiscal digital footprints to government-owned properties, the very concept that the US once opposed is now promoted to cloak the geopolitical domination under the facade of progress and sustainability. By situating Israel at the centre, one is made aware of the pattern of aggression in isolated conflicts; all revolve around it. Washington is not just protecting an ally but orchestrating coordinated Israeli proxy wars to reshape the region.
