I'm reading the craziest thing about this Iran war, including that Israel and Iran both have incentives to make it as large as possible

Because neither side can win it alone. And even that the US is supposed to lose this one and be out of the middle east for a generation, and the only reliable direction is the entire middle east is going to be uninvestible for a century

Israel absolutely want a gigantic war which engulfs the entirety of West Asia because their #1 goal is regional power and also expanding their own borders.

Meanwhile Iran are bombing fucking everything in sight because they need to make this war as catastrophic as possible to apply pressure on the US to stop attacking them. If Saudi Arabia is destabilized and losing tons of money, they are going to have Jared Kushner banging on Trump's door to tell him to knock it off.

This is also why every administration has wanted regime change in Iran, but only this one was stupid enough to go for it.
