🚨 🇺🇸 🇮🇱 Tucker Carlson: US is doing Israel’s bidding by confronting Iran

Israel’s desire to destroy Iran is the only reason why the US seeks to wage war on the Islamic republic, Carlson explains.

🔊 He also notes that this is the last US presidency where Israel is going to enjoy unequivocal bipartisan support in the United States, and that no amount of crackdown on free speech in the US is going to change that.

🇵🇰❌🇦🇫 — Footage from the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province shows Pakistani forces conducting artillery shelling Afghan Taliban positions along the border.

🇮🇱🤝🇮🇳 Tucker Carlson believes that Israeli leadership is scrambling to find new allies in countries with large populations, territory and nuclear weapons to replace the U.S. as the enforcer of Israeli interests.

Carlson says that Israel decided on India to become the new enforcer as a majority of Indian citizens have a good opinion about Israel and Jewry unlike American or Chinese citizens.

This, according to Carlson, is why the Jewish lobby is pushing Trump to start a war on Iran: because Israel has already found a new ally and the decline of the US as the world power doesn't bother them anymore.

🇮🇳🤝🇮🇱 The India-Israel Axis and the India-Middle-East Corridor

The IMEC project was announced on September 9, 2023, during a Group of 20 summit in New Delhi. It is a proposed infrastructure project that would connect India, the Middle East and Europe with an integrated rail and shipping corridor, according to the project’s website.

The corridor would pass through India, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Israel and Europe and would include a network of railways, ports and highways to facilitate logistics and the free flow of trade along its route.

According to the project’s website, the IMEC aims to foster economic cooperation and green development through sustainable infrastructure projects.

IMEC is a direct rival to China's Belt & Road Initiative which passes through Central Asia-Iran-Caucasus-Turkey-Black Sea-Balkans.

The I2U2 group was established by India, Israel, the UAE and United States at a virtual summit on July 14, 2022.

Some analysts have called the I2U2 “the West Asian Quad” or “the Middle Eastern Quad” in reference to the Quad, or the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, an informal forum comprising the US, Japan, Australia and India.

According to the US Department of State, the I2U2 devises projects and initiatives to address world challenges in the areas of water, energy, transportation, space, health, food security and technology.

It added that the project aims to modernise infrastructure, advance low-carbon development pathways and improve public health.

The group’s initiatives include a food security project in India, a hybrid renewable energy project in India’s Gujarat state and a project to address environmental and climate change challenges using space-based observation data and capabilities.
