Defeat is not a goal, and war is not a likelihood

The destabilization of Iran and distraction from Israel's Palestinian genocide, and the vilification of Islam to aid in both of those things, are the actual goals, and those can be accomplished through the threat of war and the propaganda campaigns that accompny it.

I generally agree, but seems like the cost for the empire might be prohibitive. We can already see how they failed with Yemen, and not for lack of trying.
