I don’t get why the Zionist Reich would attack Iran unprovoked, an obviously stupid move given Israel’s reputation right now and that it’s neighbors are openly hostile to it due to the Occupation of Palestine and its previous unprovoked attack.

My read on it is that the war in Gaza is going really poorly for Israel, even Israeli media is now openly admitting that Israel was defeated https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-04-11/ty-article-magazine/.premium/saying-what-cant-be-said-israel-has-been-defeated-a-total-defeat/0000018e-cdab-dba9-a78e-efef6ba10000
On top of that, Yemen managed to successfully blockade shipping which is having a significant economic impact, this is also compounded by the need for mobilization which pulls people out of the economy. So, on top of a military debacle, Israel is also starting to have serious economic problems.
The government isn’t exactly popular, and Netanyahu is facing criminal prosecution when the war ends. So, I think he’s trying to expand the war into a regional conflict which will force US to engage directly. Incidentally, this was exact same strategy that Ukraine kept trying at the start of the war to create a provocation that would force NATO to step in.
It’s a move of desperation, and it’s showing that Israel is in a very difficult position now.
