Last time the flag appeared on the eve of Iran’s unprecedented missile and drone attack on Israel in April this year.
The flag has been raised for the sixth time in Iran’s history.
The problem is that we don’t realy know how serious the US realy is about winning the war in Ukraine.
By all evidence so far they’re not actualy very threatened or willing to make any meaningful concessions to Ukraine. From day 1 they refused to give Ukraine cruise missiles etc. They tried to say keep the US out of the fight and they made sure Russia couldn’t use US assistance as justification. Then the military escalation we saw was a complete joke as a result. The US said Ukraine can’t attack pre-Crimea invasion borders for example.
Of course between incompetence, delusion and some deeper strategy perhaps its all three, but if we just take the incompetence and media narratives at face value, then Ukraine was nothing but a long term grift, meant to allow the US to encroach on Russia, a plan that backfired when Putin actualy decided to go to war at first and when their “contingency”(aka sanctions) failed later on.
I wont go further but you can see this is very different from the entire context and meaning behind Israel’s existence and US support there.
If you want to have a peek at what the west is actualy thinking look at Rand corporation papers on Ukraine-Russia
It is very enlightening to see how they think of Russia as some “competition” for example. Some(most?) of these end up copy pasted over on western media btw.
