9 May 2026: US fired on 7 May, as predicted, but not much. 16 or 17 May???

President Trump is scheduled to meet with PRC leaders on 14 and 15 May, so no big attack on 7 May, a date predicted by some for the resumption of US/Israeli attacks on Iran. A few shots were fired by US Navy ships on 7 May, and shots returned by Iran, but nothing much.

The PRC have been helping Iran, so Trump doesn't want to be in the middle of a major war during his visit, and so the attack that the Zionists want seems to be postponed until after the visit, and it is said that whoever is really in charge prefers weekend attacks that won't shock the markets. This theory is contradicted by the fact that Trump announces peace shortly after some punters bought puts on oil, and then announces that the peace initiative failed after the punters cashed their puts and bought calls on oil. How much Trump (or his close family members) made on the markets is unknown, but someone seems to have known about the declaration of peace and the nullification of that declaration and made a lot of money from that knowledge. Anyway, just good business: it has always been the case that the big boys (and now the big girls like Pelosi) have access to information denied to most of us.

All the Zionists keep saying that Iran must be destroyed, they are a mortal threat to everyone in the US, they are only a very few days away from nuking the US. And some believe them.

Trump has declared total victory several times. I've heard him say, 'We've destroyed the entire Iranian Army, Air Force, and Navy and all their weapons, and we've killed all their leaders.'

But he's never added the obvious, 'so now we can go home and forget all about Iran.'

Sadly, the Zionists keep pointing out that Iran still control the Strait, in spite of having no army, navy, air force or weapons, so the job isn't done, and won't be done until there is no Iran on the map.

And the Zionists are in control of the US of A (and, a fortiori, Trump), so the war will definitely continue after Trump gets back from the PRC, but when, exactly, the war will resume won't be clear until the bombs start falling.

7 May, Will the US Start the New War on Iran Today?

 Trump declared that the US war on Iran, called "Epic Fury" had ended in April.

The US Constitution says that only Congress can declare war, but, with nukes, the idea was that war might last half an hour, and it takes Congress at least a day to convene and vote, and the war would be over (with the US losing) before the Congress could even gather, let alone have the House and Senate agree on a Declaration of War and pass the declaration. So the Congress voted that the US President can declare a military operation, but he must get Congressional Approval before 60 days.

Trump's 60 days started on 28 February, so they ended in April. Trump did not go to Congress, but a few days ago, he said the operation ended before the 60 day limit, it was over, done.

So now Trump, probably under orders from Bibi, is planning to start another war, and the rumour mill says the new war is scheduled to start today, 7 May.

Will the US try a land invasion? A massive bombing run? Trying to shoot some Iranian fishermen?

No one can be absolutely certain that the date of 7 May is the confirmed date for the next iteration of a totally new military operation against Iran, an operation that US President Trump has every legal right to start, since the old operation was closed before the 60 day limit.

We might find out if the rumour about a new military operation against Iran is true early on 7 May, or perhaps late on 7 May. 

And it is possible that nothing of military interest will happen on 7 May.

But we will find out soon enough. 

Trump wanted to nuke Iran?????

We have videos of General Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, leaving the White House with his head down. There is wide disagreement about what this meant.

The best story (not most accurate, but best as in 'most news worthy') is that Trump wanted to nuke Iran, but the procedure for nuking required that Caine verify the nuke, and Caine refused and stormed out of the White House, leaving Trump unable to nuke Iran.

There are a lot of Trump haters who hated Trump when his only big public appearance was doing The Apprentice, a show many loved and many hated. They want anything that makes Trump look bad.

I saw Trump try to keep the US out of the war to overthrow the Syrian government. Twice! Two times, Trump ordered all US troops out of Syria, but he was put up three times to talk about the US in Syria, and the third time he ordered US troops into Syria to overthrow the government. The overthrow didn't happen until the last year of Biden's presidency, but the US managed to remove Assad and replace him with Jolani, a good Zionist who gave Israel all of what had been Syria south of Damascus, and shut down all Syrian air defences, so Israel can fly over Syria to attack Iran.

So most agree that it's great that Trump was moved from his stupid anti-war stance to a 'destroy every nation in West Asia and North Afrida and give all their lands to the Zionists!'

We have no idea what really happened that caused General Caine to storm out of the White House, nor do we know if Trump can do the right thing, as the US did in 1953, and change the evil government  in Iran to a good government that will return all Iranian oil to the rightful owner, BP (50% owned by the US).

I remember, back in 1973, watching the old Shah on TV saying the world needed to conserve the precious oil that was running out, meaning BP had to pay him more for Iranian oil. So the US found a cleric in Paris whose only goal was making sure all Iranian women dressed in black and covered their hair, so the US got rid of the Shah (who was dying of cancer) and put the Ayatollah in as the ruler of Iran.

Only the Ayatollah didn't return all the oil, he wanted to steal it, make it all Iranian oil, sell it, and use the money for heaven only knows what, but whatever it was, stealing BP oil was obviously terrorism, and the US started planning how to get rid of the Ayatollah. And the Iranians took all the Americans in the American Embassy in Tehran hostage, and President Carter's attempt to rescue them resulting in some American soldiers dying in a sandstorm, so the American voters chose Reagan who had promised to pay the Iranians to release the hostages. After Reagan took office, he paid and the Iranians sent all the hostages back to the US, so the US put on sanctions and a naval blockade so the Iranians could not sell any of their stolen BP oil (owned 50% by the US and 50% by the British).

Until 2021 when a navy that was much stronger than the small US fleet blockading Iran came protecting a fleet of oil tankers that bought, paid (a fraction of the market price) for, and filled up with just about all the oil Iran had available for sale.

The US remain determined to return every drop of Iranian oil to BP, but Israel don't care about Iranian oil, they just want rid of Iran, so a discussion is going on between the Israeli leadership and the American leadership: the easiest way to get rid of the evil Iranian oil thieves is to nuke them, but then all that oil will be too radioactive to use in the US/UK/EU, so it can only be sold for a tiny amount to third-world countries that don't care if their drivers and passengers get radiation poisoning, so the owners of BP are not fond of that good Zionist solution to the problem.

Barring nukes, no quick solution seems available, and the Zionists don't want to wait, so we'll just have to wait and see who is stronger: the owners of BP or the Zionists.

My Arab source is sure Israel will eventually use nukes, and they'd like the US to use at least one as well so it won't be all Israel, but the US are reluctant to use even one small nuke, so my Arab source says he thinks they will pither around until late May before nuking Iran.

Pausing for a Month???

The person or persons really running the US of A had Trump, the designated Announcer of Official American Policy, say there would be a 'ceasefire' ending yesterday, Wednesday, at around 12:01 am Washington, DC time. But sometime around 11 pm Tuesday, Trump announced the ceasefire would be extended by a month, but the US blockade would continue, costing Iran more than $500 billion a day in income until they cannot continue as everyone, including the Ayatollahs, are starving, so they will have to surrender and agree to all the US/Israeli terms.

Official US sources say that US blockade have stopped all traffic to Iran, no oil is being sold, no food is being bought, so a month of such sanctions should force surrender without the US having to waste good taxpayers' dollars bombing Iran.

Foreign sources say quite a few ships are making it to and from Iran, since the US blockade is enough to stop one ship every few days, and the ships they're stopping are mostly empty. Of course, only the US sources always tell the the TRVTH, the whole TRVTH, and nothing but the TRVTH, so those Iranians rioting in the streets every night waving the Islamic flags that have the name 'Allah' written where the old flags, used when the Shah was in charge (as a US puppet), had a lion holding a sword, are only waving those 'Allah' flags because they couldn't find any of those lion flags, and they all want the Shah back. 

As a primitive people, the ordinary Iranians have no use for the oil and gas that legally (under US/UK law) belongs to BP, a company 50% owned by the UK and 50% owned by the US, and all those ordinary Iranians are desperate to return to the simple life under the Shah and the CIA/MI6-run Savak that kept all the oil and gas going to BP, a little money going to the Shah and Savak, and the ordinary Iranians living the simple, pre-industrial life. (Sorry, times change, so update that 'CIA/MI6-run Savak' to the new status of a CIA/MI6/Mossad-run Savak, with Mossad, now really in charge, politely taking third place.)

The big question is, what happens next? The Zionists running Israel, many rich enough to fly to Epstein's Island, where they spent their time on the Island doing the hard work of running the world, are not willing to waste a month during the promised 'ceasefire,' which is only planned to be long enough to move the troops and materiel into place and get the Iranian guard down, then they certainly won't wait the entire promised month, but will strike. According to my Arab sources, they'll almost certainly use nukes.

As I've said before, US oiligarchs don't like that solution since their oil and gas will be too radioactive to sell to Western nations, so they'll have to sell it all at deep discounts to Third World nations. But those whose money is mostly from other sources than oil and gas figure the nuke option will be the quickest and easiest way to solve the Iran problem and let the Russians and Chinese know that, if they step out of line, they'll be next, so a great plan, and one those really in charge will probably use at a time when it is least expected and Iran is as unprepared as possible. 

Dee Lie Leh?

Prof Mearsheimer says the world desperately needs an agreement that returns Persian/Arabian Gulf Oil to the world market, or we'll be facing a Global Depression that will make 1929 seem like a very minor economic setback.

As Prof. Mearsheimer says, the US desperately needs a deal: Iran have been sanctioned and unable to sell their oil for many years, while the world got about a third of the energy resources needed from Arab sources, but now Arab products are mostly blocked by Iran, and the US military are unable to break the Iranian block, so the world is now getting about 30% less oil, gas, fertilizer, helium, etc., etc.

Which leaves a couple of solutions. One is to accept Iran's demands, and let all the Persian/Arabian Gulf products back on the world market. The alternative of trying to live without those products is something close to a total collapse of the world economy, as in mass starvation, caused by a massive reduction in the total number of gasoline/diesel powered vehicles and all the stuff they deliver, plus much less food production because of the lack of fertilizer, and the inability to manufacture lots of the items we desperately need that cannot be produced without helium.

The only way to not appease Iran and not have the world's worst Depression seems to be the Samson Option. Reliable sources have photos/videos showing the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Kane, leaving the White House with his head down; unreliable sources interpreted that head down as meaning General Kane was very angry/disturbed by Trump's announcement that he plans to use nukes on Iran.

Of course, the US doesn't have to be the nation to use the nukes, Israel is quite capable of nuking Iran, with or without a US joint nuclear strike.

It is certainly looking like Delilah has done her work and Samson is now blind, and ready to pull down the pillars in the Temple of Dagon.

An Arab friend predicts Israel, with or without the US, will nuke Iran before the end of April, which is only 9 days away, and the ceasefire officially ends 22 April.

After the 9/11 attack in 2001, President Bush, Jr announced that all the hijackers were Afghans, members of the Taliban, none were from Saudi Arabia, and he sent the US military into Afghanistan, where they made great improvements in things like agriculture. Afghanistan, before the Taliban, had been a big producer of opium, but the Taliban had put an end to that valuable crop. Fortunately, the US and allies fixed that, returning Afghanistan to a major producer, along with many other great improvements. But, in 2003 President Bush, Jr gave what the Washington Post calls one of the best State of the Union Addresses ever, when Bush, Jr noted his big mistake in 2001 saying only Afghanis were involved. 

In fact, Iran planned and funded the attack and trained all the 9/11 attackers, who were not all Afghans, but also included Iraqi and DPRK terrorists (to which, a few days after the State of the Union address, Bush, Jr. also added Libyans, Syrians, and Cubans).

It was in 2007 that General Wesley Clark said that he remembered hearing sometime around 20 September 2001 that the US would take out "seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran.'"

The US got all the oil in Iraq, Syria, and Libya, that we know of (and gave some to the UK and France for helping). 

We also know that the British did the exploration and development of all the oil in Iran from around 1900 until 1951, when Prime Minister Mosaddek stole all their oil, and the UK were too weak to take it back. Iran had never been a British colony, the legal Head of State was an ethnic Iranian, the Shah, but the Entail was made and revised by the British, and they replaced Shahs they did not like with Shahs that they did like. But by 1951, the UK were too weak to do anything, so they had the US go in and gaol Mosaddek and returned the ownership of all the oil in Iran to BP, which was split 50/50 between the UK and US. All went well until the Ayatollah stole that oil in 1979, and the US have been trying to get it back ever since.

So the US want Iran back under the Shah, all power taken from the Ayatollahs, and all the oil returned to BP.

But that oil won't be worth much if it is too radioactive to use safely (well, the US could still sell it to third world nations, but would probably have to give a great discount). So the US do not want Israel to nuke Iran, unless that is the only alternative available: better a nuked Iran than a free Iran that might give ideas to other nations.

So we are very likely to see the Samson Option before the end of April. 

Straight Flush???

As several have noted, Iran have been trying to acquire a Weapon of Mass Destruction for 40 years, and, on 28 February 2026, they had one: the Strait of Hormuz. At least 20% of the world economy requires the traffic of energy, fertilizer, helium, and other critical products that go through that Strait, and Iran, which never touched that Strait before 28 February 2016, the day the US and Israel killed the Ayatollah, Iran blocked the Strait and said no ship could use it except those ships allowed by Iran.

Insurers would not insure ships going through the state, and ship owners will not risk a ship that is not insured, so the world are facing a major depression in about four to six months unless Iran relents.

Iran did relent when Israel stopped bombing Lebanon, for a whole day, when Israel continued to bomb Lebanon while promising (or being promised by the US) that they would stop, then closed the Strait when the US and Israel did not fulfill their agreements with Iran.

So the world economy is back on course for a Depression that will make the US Great Depression of 1929–1941 seem like a very mild recession.

And we're still waiting for the Samson Option, which an Arab friend predicts will happen before the end of this month. Not that the Samson Option will necessarily leave a usable Strait, but at least there won't be many Iranians to continue rejoicing in their victory over Israel and the US of A, so Israel and the USA will be able to rejoice in their 'victory'. 

US-Iran War Over, Iran Lost???

According to the Western Media, the war is now over and Iran lost. Iran have agreed that they will no longer impede any ship that wishes to pass through the Strait, while the US will continue to limit the Strait to only non-Iranian ships that did not do any trade with Iran. And Iran will hand over all their uranium and weapons.

Great ending to Iran's attempt to challenge the US, the strongest military power the world have ever seen, and probably the strongest military power the world ever will see.

Oops.

Iran demanded that there be peace in Lebanon, and Israel have stopped waging war against Lebanon, at least for now (not clear just how long).

Iran are still in control of the Strait. No military ships allowed, and no enemy merchant ships, but non-military ships may pass if they apply for and receive permission from Iran to pass the Strait.

And the ships Iran have been allowing to pass have sailed past the US blockade without any problems, including ships that bought items from Iran, and Iran are selling oil, gas, fertilizer, helium, and other essential items.

So clearly, a complete and total victory for the US, and a complete and total surrender for Iran.
