It makes one wonder if egging the US on to attack Iran and initially joining in the strikes, the plan all along was to have cover for invading southern Lebanon and doing Gaza-like destruction while the rest of world is distracted and economically handicapped by Trump's war of choice. Yes, it would be multi-dimensional chess, but not out of the realm of possibility.
