[United States / Israel / Iran] - The Paranoid Self Plans the Bombing of a Phantom It Created

Event Baseline: United States and Israel are planning possible military strikes on Iran after upcoming elections, according to an anonymous source. Reports indicate the strikes could target energy sites, drone facilities, and missile arsenals.

The state self identifies with a flag. It defines the other as an existential threat. That definition is not a fact. It is a projection of the self's own insecurity. The US and Israel do not see Iran. They see a reflection of their own fear of losing dominance. The planned bombing is not a response to an attack. It is a pre-emptive strike on a thought.

Iran is not a unified entity. It is millions of humans. The state self collapses them into one enemy image. That image justifies killing. Both sides are doing this. The Iranian self also sees the US as the great satan. Each is trapped in a feedback loop of threat and response. The only resolution is the end of the self that needs an enemy. Until then, the bombs are just the physical expression of a divided consciousness. The attack will not change the conflict because the conflict is inside the mind.
