Iran Sows Turmoil in the Middle East
Scratch the surface of Hamas and find Iran.
“The Conflict in the Middle East Is About One Thing: Iran,” journalist Haviv Rettig Gur told Free Press editor Bari Weiss on July 30.
“It’s not about Israel, and it’s not about Gaza. You want to end the Gaza war? You want to prevent a war in Lebanon? You want to end the terrible civil war in Yemen and bring the forces to the table in Yemen that have starved 85,000 children to death and devastated that country? You want to fix the Middle East? It’s about Iran and it’s only about Iran.” — Haviv Rettig Gur
Haviv Rettig Gur isn’t the only authority on Middle Eastern policy to say so publicly.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — a world leader with decades more first-hand experience with Middle Eastern politics than most who presume to lecture on the subject — gave essentially the same warning to Congress just last week.
“In the Middle East, Iran is virtually behind all the terrorism, all the turmoil, all the chaos, all the killing,” Netanyahu warned D.C. lawmakers.
