The Spin
Metaculus Prediction
The cowardly killing of the Hamas leader and the repeated violation of Iran's territorial sovereignty is the Israeli regime's latest attempt to escalate and expand the conflict. Moreover, the vicious attack would not have been possible without the blessing of the US, which covers for every Israeli crime. However, the Axis of Resistance will continue its struggle with greater resolve than ever and is fully prepared for all-out confrontation. Tel Aviv should be under no illusions, as justice will ultimately prevail over injustice.
