‘No possibility of rift…’: Expert on relations of Israel-U.S. amid Iran war | West Asia Crisis
Mar 21, 2026
On US–Israeli air superiority, Austrian aerial warfare analyst and historian Tom Cooper says, "It is a stupid war, launched by Israel, which has managed to coerce the White House into playing a part... This war was launched to reshape the future political and diplomatic landscape of the Middle East because Israel recognizes that U.S. power is waning, and it needs to secure its future... As for the precision and effectiveness of the campaign led by U.S. and Israeli forces, primarily the Israeli Air Force, it is indeed highly precise.... They are targeting even ordinary soldiers, partly because they know they cannot destroy Iran’s vast underground military facilities..." He also says, "Professional military sources in Israel and the United States are lying so much that even the IRGC is more dependable... We see the Israelis destroying all palaces around Iran, which are actually memorials and tourist sites... Not only India, but plenty of other countries are heavily dependable on sourcing their gas from Qatar, as well as fertilizers. So it is absolutely mindless, psychopathic attack, aiming to destroy everything in Iran..."
