Wow, this may be the most biased article about this war that I have seen. Somehow it is Iran's fault that Israel is committing genocide against Arabs? Iran's response to all this has honestly been very controlled.

It's basically war propaganda shaping public opinion for a war with Iran.

Manufacturing Consent as preparation.

A big war is brewing among Israel, Hezbollah and Iran. The clash is inevitable because Tehran’s murderous mullahs won’t back off their goal of isolating and destroying the Jewish state.

Geez I cannot think of another motive for all of those groups attacking Israel.

Forbes taking their mask off with this article. Their next article will about how the Russians fought Nazi Germany because of their insatiable hate for white people

What a garbage article. It makes it seem like the consequences of Israel's genocide is actually a masterful gambit of Iran using militia groups to tighten a noose on Israel. It fails to mention the genocide at all. Also the way it weaves in the threat of war with China, and hints at nuclear war, is peak fearmongering and sabrerattling. I figured Forbes would be a shitty source, and I was not surprised.

The whole article is based on saying that war is unavoidable, but also fails to mention that those same Iranian backed militias have all said they would cease aggression if the genocide stopped. Israel's commitment to this genocide is the only thing that guarantees further war.

It actually is avoidable but the people in charge don’t want to avoid it. The weapons manufacturers and military contractors are going to make a lot of money, but the US will come out weaker from it just like it did in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the US worker will be left worse off.

But we created a lot of shareholder value...
