Israel’s War Was Always America’s Problem: U.S. Experts Say Tel Aviv Engineered Conflict to Drag Washington In

According to Saed News, recent American commentary points to a growing consensus among media figures and defense analysts: Israel’s confrontation with Iran was never intended to be a solo endeavor. Instead, the military campaign appears to have been carefully orchestrated to compel the United States into direct involvement.

Cenk Uygur, founder of the U.S.-based TYT Network, questioned Israel’s motives on social media:

“Israel admits it cannot dismantle Iran’s nuclear program without American support—so why did it launch the war?”
“The assumption from the start,” Uygur argued, “was that Israel could draw the United States into the conflict. Their leaders have long counted on American politicians to force U.S. troops into fighting for Tel Aviv’s agenda.”

This sentiment was echoed by Afshon Ostovar, a security analyst and associate professor at the Naval Postgraduate School in California. Speaking to CNN, Ostovar warned that Iran is capable of inflicting serious harm in return and may seek to prolong the conflict:

“Iran won’t surrender easily. Extending the war could increase the cost for Israel—and that may be Tehran’s strategy.”

Ostovar further explained that Iran holds several levers of pressure, particularly as Israel continues its attacks on both Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and regional resistance movements.

“The more Israel bombs Iranian targets,” he noted, “the more Iran can strike back—and it will.”

Meanwhile, American influencer Dan Bilzerian, with over 30 million followers on Instagram, made waves by celebrating Israel’s setbacks:

“It’s like watching a movie where the bully finally gets beaten up. It’s satisfying.”

As media narratives shift, the emerging portrait is one of manipulation and miscalculation. A smaller regional power initiated conflict with a long-standing rival, not expecting decisive victory, but banking on dragging a superpower into its war. For now, that gamble appears to have paid off—with potentially catastrophic global consequences.
