Israel to ‘escalate in Lebanon’ after failing to defeat Iran – Max Blumenthal
The Grayzone editor-in-chief says Israeli strikes aim to undermine the fragile US-Iran ceasefire by opening a new front
Israel will continue trying to escalate the conflict in Lebanon after failing to “break Iran’s deterrence,” Max Blumenthal, editor-in-chief of The Grayzone, has said.
Israeli officials have criticized the memorandum of understanding signed by Washington and Tehran on June 17, arguing that it does not serve the Jewish state’s interests. Meanwhile, the IDF has continued striking what it describes as Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, in violation of the MOU’s terms, risking the fragile deal.
“Israel cannot do anything without US firepower, and the US was not willing to commit the amount of men and materiel to do what Israel needed,” Blumenthal said in an interview with Going Underground host Afshin Rattansi, aired on Sunday.
Israel was “completely unable to break Iran’s deterrence” and proved vulnerable to Iranian counterattacks, he added.
“They’re going to focus on Lebanon, continue to seek to escalate in Lebanon,” Blumenthal said.

According to Blumenthal, Israel will also target dissenting voices in the US through the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC, paid influencers, “or through some other more nefarious means.”

Considering the Grayzone editor-in-chief says Israeli strikes aim to undermine the fragile US-Iran ceasefire by opening a new, it raises some real questions about what happens next.
Max Blumenthal is in a tough spot here, curious how they navigate it.
In other words “They’re going to focus on Lebanon, continue to seek to escalate in Lebanon,” Blumenthal said. Curious to see how this develops.
If israeli officials have criticized the memorandum of understanding signed by Washington and Tehran on June 17, arguing that it does not serve the Jewish state’s interests, then the bigger picture starts to look very different.
“They’re going to focus on Lebanon, continue to seek to escalate in Lebanon,” Blumenthal said. Meanwhile the Grayzone editor-in-chief says Israeli strikes aim to undermine the fragile US-Iran ceasefire by opening a new.
Think about it: the Grayzone editor-in-chief says Israeli strikes aim to undermine the fragile US-Iran ceasefire by opening a new. That speaks volumes.
So the bottom line is israel will continue trying to escalate the conflict in Lebanon after failing to “break Iran’s deterrence,” Max Blumenthal, editor-in-chief of The Grayzone, has said. Wonder how this will land.
Basically the Grayzone editor-in-chief says Israeli strikes aim to undermine the fragile US-Iran ceasefire by opening a new. What matters is whether anything changes because of it.
The fact that israel will continue trying to escalate the conflict in Lebanon after failing to “break Iran’s deterrence,” Max Blumenthal, editor-in-chief of The Grayzone, has said really puts things into perspective.
The bigger issue here is israel was “completely unable to break Iran’s deterrence” and proved vulnerable to Iranian counterattacks, he added. That changes the calculation.
Going Underground has been vocal about this, good to see them staying on it.
Think about it: israeli officials have criticized the memorandum of understanding signed by Washington and Tehran on June 17, arguing that it does not serve the Jewish state’s interests. That speaks volumes.
Basically “They’re going to focus on Lebanon, continue to seek to escalate in Lebanon,” Blumenthal said. What matters is whether anything changes because of it.
The fact that the Grayzone editor-in-chief says Israeli strikes aim to undermine the fragile US-Iran ceasefire by opening a new really puts things into perspective.
The detail about israeli officials have criticized the memorandum of understanding signed by Washington and Tehran on June 17, arguing that it does not serve the Jewish state’s interests is something people should sit with.
