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. 

Getting Closer to Samson???

The official US news is that 99% of Iranians hate their government, and, with just a teeny bit of help from the US, they will take over and end one of history's greatest injustices: Beginning around 1900, the UK explored, drilled, and developed their oil fields around the Gulf with Two Names (it's the Persian Gulf on the northeast side, and the Arabian Gulf on the southwest side, and has been for a very long time).

Then, in 1951, the evil Mosaddek stole all that British  oil, but the UK, after WWII, was not the powerful empire that it had been, it had already lost the Raj, their most valuable colony, and were rapidly losing the rest of the British Empire, so they asked the US for help, and help they were given. The CIA went in, arrested Mosaddek, put the Shah back in as head of state instead of a figurehead, and put the CIA/MI6-led Savak in to keep the Shah in power and keep all the oil as property of BP, now 50% UK owned and 50% US owned.

But the Shah got cancer and scruples and talked about preserving the oil for future generations, so he had to go, and Iran was given to an Ayatollah in France who was only concerned with keeping women in their place in Iran, he didn't care about the oil which would return to BP control. So the US/UK put the Ayatollah in power, and he declared that everyone in the US embassy was a hostage. President Carter had no idea what to do. The rescue mission hit a sandstorm and all were lost.

Reagan offered the Ayatollah a lot of money to keep the US embassy personnel hostages until Reagan won the election and took office in '81, when President Reagan would give Iran a huge ransom for all the hostages, and the Ayatollah agreed, so Carter lost the election, Reagan won, paid Iran, and got all the US hostage safely back in the US.

Anti-Ayatollah Iranians found it very easy to get US visas and passports, and they and their kids all want Iran to get the Shah back (the Shah says, once the US makes him the ruler of Iran, he'll stay in the US and act as sovereign and make sure whatever the CIA and Mossad want, he'll make the official Law in Iran).

Anyway, the US ordered Iran not to miss the meeting on 15 June 2025, but they missed the meeting, so Israel attacked Iran on 13 June 2025 for missing the meeting on 15 June 2025, killing all the Iranian generals and professors of nuclear physics (or, as Walt Kelley said, 'new, clear, fizzicks, not so new, not so clear, and nary a fizz). Then Israel bombed Iran for 10 days, then the US totally obliterated all the Iranian nuclear bomb development facilities, Iran retaliated by sending one missile to the US base in Qatar, and the 12 Day War was over.

Then, December 2025, the US Treasury Secretary went to all the international currency computers and crashed the Iranian currency, making it worthless, so no shop could replenish any of the stock they had sold, and customers could not buy anything, and peaceful protests started, soon joined by peaceful protesters sent by Mossad, the CIA, nd MI6, well-armed peaceful protesters who shot police and other protesters, all coordinated with Starlink terminals that let Mossad, the CIA, and MI6 tell them where the weapons were located, and where the next riot was to take place to kill off all the Iranians who supported the Ayatollah and did not want the Shah to resume being Supreme Leader of Iran. Good plan, but the evil Russians and Chinese gave Iran devices that could block Starlink, so those peaceful protesters could not ask where to find the weapons they needed for their peaceful protests, and those devices let Iran find all the Starlink terminals and arrest all the peaceful protesters.

So the planned attack on 14 Jan 2026 had to be postponed until 6 February, but the Ayatollah said he'd be at home on 28 February talking to all the top government officials, so the attack was rescheduled (again) for 28 February.

One Iranian general was a good Mossad agent, and he knew where the generals would be when they were talking with the Ayatollah on 28 February, and he told Israel and the US, so on 28 February, during the meeting, the US and Israel took out the Ayatollah and all his family, and all the generals (the good general working for Mossad excused himself from the meeting and left just before the US/Israeli attack), and the Ayatollah and all the Iranian generals were removed, making it very easy for the good Iranians to take over and install the Shah and Savak as …

 Oops. The old Iranian government had survivors who took over, and a few of them are still running the Iranian government.

My Arab friend (who has a US passport) says Israel will use the Samson option before the end of April, and a lot of the podcasts I watch figure he's right.

Some figure Trump will order a US nuclear attack on Iran, but most figure it will be Israel on their own, they have at least 300 nukes, and maybe some of those are thermonuclear (all secret, so no one knows, but we're likely to find out before the end of April, 2026).

How Close are We to Sampson????

The US sent Israel about 100 tonnes of uranium/yellowcake. It takes about 50 tonnes to make a bomb. Israel is estimated to have 100 to 300 nuclear bombs, just nuclear, not thermonuclear (they say).

Enough of the people responsible have talked that we're pretty sure this is a fact, and it took the US only 50 tonnes of uranium/yellowcake to make the first three bombs, one tested in White Sands, New Mexico and two tested in Japan at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It seemed like they killed a lot of people in Japan, but then they made much bigger thermonuclear weapons, but none of these have ever been used in war, so the record for deaths is from their use in Japan.

Not clear if Israel has any thermonuclear weapons. Anyone with more than 50 tonnes of uranium/yellowcake can make a lot of nuclear bombs, but it takes hydrogen to make a thermonuclear weapon.

Basically, every country that has 50 tonnes of uranium/yellowcake and wants a bomb, has a bomb. The nations with no nuclear bombs either lack the 50 tonnes of uranium or just don't want a bomb. And Israel has at least 100 tonnes of uranium/yellowcake, so we can assume they have some bombs, exact number Classified TS/SCI/NOFORN, but probably between 100 and 300, and maybe some thermonukes, or maybe not.

So, it's looking like Israel needs to nuke Iran, and the big question is, 'Will the US help, or leave Israel to nuke Iran all by themselves???'

There doesn't seem to be any question at this point of 'Will Israel nuke Iran?' only  a question of how many of their 300 bombs will Israel use?

Japan would be forced to concede defeat after the USSR joined the war on 8 August, but it took time for the details of the bomb and the USSR invasion to reach the Japanese leadership, so the US dropped another bomb before the Japanese surrendered on 15 August.

But the US only had 3 nuclear bombs in August, 1945, one to test and two to drop on Japan, while Israel have at least 100 and probably more than 300, and some of those might be thermonuclear.

So not much will be left of Iran, but the oil will be too radioactive to use, and the US have been at war with Iran ever since the Ayatollah stole all the Iranian oil from BP, which is 50% owned by the US (and 50% owned by the UK), so the US want the oil with few or no nukes, while Israel figure it's more important to ensure that Iran can never again challenge Israel, and if that takes carpet nuking, then so be it.

After which, everyone knows all of West Asia and much of North Africa will be Israeli, and all the goyim will be strongly encouraged to leave if they don't want to end up like the Iranians.

Trump: Worst President Ever?????

People like Judge Napolitano and his guests condemn Trump as the worst president they have ever seen, but I fear they need a visit to their ophthalmologist.

I watched President Trump, during his first term, order all US troops out of Syria.

OK.

Then, another press conference, and, again, President Trump ordered all US troops out of Syria.

Why two press conferences to give the exact same order?

Then, another press conference, and this time Trump ordered US troops into Syria to steal all the oil, and promised that this would not cost the US anything.

So what happened?

Obviously, there was a Teleprompter, as there has been a Teleprompter for the US President for about as long as Teleprompters have been available. As I recall, President Reagan used notes, but that was more than 35 years ago.

So Trump tended to ignore the Teleprompter, and failed to say what he was supposed to say and said something else, but if important persons came to the White House without the usual speech announcing their arrival and how happy the US was to see them, a few people were annoyed, but no real damage was done.

However, ordering the US troops out of Syria when the Teleprompter said 'into Syria' is not allowed.

So the staff tried explaining this to Trump, and told him he had to do it again, and this time read the Teleprompter.

But, for a second time, Trump ignored the Teleprompter and ordered all US troops out of Syria.

That's when the men in dark suits and dark glasses had a little talk with Trump and told him, if he didn't want to read the Teleprompter, no problem, he'd get a great funeral, just as good as JFK's. And they made it clear that their predecessors had gotten rid of Kennedy for not doing as he was told, and they'd be very happy to do the same for Trump.

Trump, however, tossed a bone to his voters, he said, 'I order the troops into Syria to steal the oil. This won't cost the US taxpayers anything, in fact, it will make money and reduce taxes.'

This wasn't what was on the Teleprompter, 'I order the US troops into Syria to bring freedom and democracy,' but it was enough, the troops went in, they stole all the oil and wheat, and with no money to pay the Syrian Arab Army, Assad was easily overthrown by Julani, who promptly gave Israel the right to fly over Syria, something Assad never allowed, and gave Israel all of Syria south of Damascus, which is a good start, so Julani is a good Wahhabi Zionist, and one cannot think of a better president for a nation like Syria.

The day before he started his second term, Trump said that the US must stop spending money on the Ukraine, since it was destroying the US. The day after he started, Trump said that Russia must get out of the Ukraine or the US would destroy Russia, and, in spite of 'peace talks', the US keeps giving more and better weapons to the Ukraine to drive all the Russians out. After all, all the oil, gas, gold, and uranium in Russia really belongs to the Western oligarchs who helped Trump get elected and are now telling  him what to do, so Russia's war against NATO in the Ukraine is supposed to destroy Russia so all those assets they are stealing can go back to the rightful owners.

Likewise Iran: Mosaddek tried stealing British oil in 1951, when Britain was much too weak to do anything about it, so they asked the US, who arrested Mosaddek and returned ownership of all Iranian petroleum products to BP, the rightful owner, with the UK giving 50% ownership to the US. This went very well until 1979 when the first Ayatollah took over and stole all those petroleum products, so the US sanctioned Iran: no one can buy anything from Iran. A US Naval blockade stopped all oil tankers who tried to carry Iranian oil out of Iran until 2021, when a fleet of oil tankers accompanied by a naval fleet managed to buy all the oil Iran had available for sale. Not only that, a few of those oil tankers are still buying Iranian oil, since Iran are still selling to selected buyers, but US bombing runs mean no large fleets of oil tankers can safely buy Iranian oil, only a very few.

Trump, of course, says, more or less, whatever he has to say, not quite with the words they want him to use, but he still says what he has to say, since he's not yet ready for that funeral they give former presidents, and he's trying not to get that great funeral they give to presidents who die in office.

As Judge Napolitano says, the US senior military analysts have been saying, 'Don't attack Iran!' for many years, and every president before Trump listened, but Trump ignored their advice.

But what that means is that the people giving Trump orders figured this was a good time to attack. The attack was planned, well, first for Friday, 13 June 2025, but that didn't work out too well, so the US and Israel called it quits after 12 days and started planning for a more effective attack.

They destroyed the Iranian currency in December, 2025, and riots started, first by some of the Iranians most severely affected by the currency crash, then those were joined by about 40,000 well-armed rioters with Starlink terminals so they could get their orders (and directions to the piles of weapons) from their Mossad/CIA/MI6 handlers, it it looked like the Iranian regime might be overthrown. Only the evil Russians and Chinese gave Iran some anti-Starlink devices that disabled all the Starlink terminals and guided Iranian forces to the locations of those 40,000 paid rioters who were arrested.

Clearly, Iran murdered more than 80,000 innocent, peaceful, unarmed protestors, and I know this because I read it in the New York Times and the Guardian and watched it on CNN, BBC, France24, and Fox News.

So the planned 14 January attack by Israel and the US on Iran was postponed until 6 February, and then the Ayatollah announced a big meeting on 28 February when he would be at home and the top generals would be in a 'secret' meeting place. Mossad and the CIA and MI6 got to work and paid a top general who would be at the meeting, and he told Israel and the US where the meeting would be and excused himself from the meeting, then the Ayatollah's house and the meeting place were bombed, taking out all the Iranian leadership, so, of course, …

Oops, the Iranian government reconstituted itself and began firing drones, huge numbers of them, at Israel and the Gulf Arab states hosting US military bases. The US expected this, so soldiers had been moved off the bases and into hotels, but some of those drones went off near those hotels, and many went off near the airports.

Clearly, firing drones at Israel makes the Iranians much worse than the Nazis, and firing at peaceful, innocent Gulf Arab States was a war crime. The Iranians have proved by their actions that they are evil incarnate, viciously attacking innocent, peaceful Jews and Arabs without the slightest provocation, and they must be destroyed (and all their oil and gas absolutely, positively must be returned to BP).

What Iran Did that Forced the US and Israel to strike on 28 February

I had planned a trip to the Arab Gulf, on 28 February 2026. The Arab Gulf is the southwest part of the Gulf with Two Names, the northeast part of which is the Persian Gulf, and the Arabs on the southwest of the Gulf have been calling it the Arab Gulf (in Arabic) for many, many years, while the Persians (now Iranians) on the northeast have been calling it the Persian Gulf since the time they called themselves Persians.

But, as my plane was approaching the Arab Gulf, it made a U-turn and flew back to the airport from which I'd come, since most of the Arab Gulf airports were closed because the evil, bellicose Iranian were attacking for no reason.

The Iranian claim their attack was provoked by the US and Israel killing all the Iranian leadership while they were fasting during Ramadan in Tehran. Being Shi'a, they figure it's Great to be Martyred during the Islamic month of Ramadan, so they scheduled a big meeting of all the Iranian leadership on a day in Ramadan, which started on 18 February and lasts for 29 or 30 days, depending on whether the Moon Sighting Committee does or does not see the moon on the 29th of Ramadan on 19 March.

In any case, all the Iranian leadership scheduled a meeting on 28 February, and announced the meeting, so, probably during the 11 February visit of Netanyahu with Trump, they agreed to kill off all the Iranian leadership, leaving Iran without a government, after which the CIA/Mossad/MI6 would direct their agents in Iran to attack and take over, then the US and Israel could bring the Shah back, put him in charge, and all the stolen Iranian oil would be returned to the rightful owner, BP.

Great plan, what could possibly go wrong?

Well, it seems the Ayatollah had the government arrange for replacements for everybody. The Ayatollah almost certainly expected to be martyred, and it is likely the other leaders knew martyrdom during their meeting was very likely, and figured it was time to go straight to Paradise for being martyred during Ramadan.

And the people who took over Iran after the former government were all killed, for no reason anyone can understand, started shelling the Arab Gulf states, all of which had US military bases, which were hit. The US military, knowing that whoever took over Iran, before they were dispatched by the Revolution that would give Iran back to the Shah, might be able to fire a few missiles and/or small drones at the US military facilities, had the soldiers staying in hotels, and, the Gulf Arab states being full of Iranians, Iran knew which hotels and struck those hotels, but no one is saying if any US troops were injured, the US only admit that 6, four named and two nameless, were killed by Iranian ordinance that hit the Gulf Arab states.

The US advises all Americans to avoid the Arab Gulf for now, and those stuck there to try to remain out of sight, and try to get out ASAP.

The US and Israel say the strike was a complete success, the entire Iranian leadership were taken out, and the return of Iran to rule by the Shah should be accomplished very soon. Trump wanted full victory in four days, but those four days are now estimated to be four weeks months, after which several have said that the US will declare total victory and withdraw.

The US spokespersons assure us all that they have destroyed most of the Iranian weaponry that could hit US assets, but maybe not quite all of it, so there might be a few more strikes by a few very small, impuissant weapons.

I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens. The Iranians haven't been able to do much damage to US military assets, while the US continue to bomb Iran, taking out most of the important Iranian military facilities like elementary schools, hospitals, and apartment buildings filled with people, and those terrorist facilities that were bombed were then 'double tapped' to kill not just the resident terrorists but also those trying to save those terrorists (and we know that those elementary school girls, hospital workers, and others killed by the US and Israeli militaries were all terrorists, since the US and Israel military never target civilians, only criminal combatants, and the Iranians had more than 260 criminal combatants under 12 years old, so the US and Israel did great work taking them out to protect the good, honest, peaceful seekers of the return of the Shah, and who will work hard to extract the BP oil and hand it all over to BP).

The New York Times report that the girl's school was really an Iranian Naval Base, disguised as a school, with 265 human shields kept there to discourage an attack, but the US military would never refrain from destroying an Iranian Naval Base, and all the students and teachers who died were victims of the Iranians who used them as human shields, the US military were innocent as new born babes, and they've been tried and acquitted (well, acquitted, no need for a trial when their innocence and the guilt of the Iranians is so obvious).

A total of about 1,400 Iranians have been killed by the US and Israel since 28 February, good work by the US military; however, the brutal Iranians murdered 6 Americans who were just doing their jobs keeping peace in Iran and returning all the Iranian oil to the legal owners, BP, which will be a major accomplishment by the Trump presidency, keeping the price of oil below $500 a barrel, with every ¢ going to US oiligarchs. 

What is happening with Iran???

 Saturday, 28 February, I was trying to travel and my plane was diverted as the skies were closed in a lot of West Asia, and I ended up stuck with no computer and no Internet.

It seems that, last year, Netanyahu and the other people really running the US agreed to attack Iran on:

First, it was going to be 13 January or 14 January, only the evil Russians and PRC gave Iran the technology to stop Starlink and track down all Starlink terminals, so Iran rounded up the people with 40,000 Starlink terminals given to foot soldiers with the Mossad/CIA/MI6 officers in charge safe in Israel, the US, and the UK.

So the protests petered out, and the US and Israel decided they'd better postpone the 13 Jan attack until 5 Feb or so, then they decided they'd better postpone until ...

The CIA (we're told) found out that there would be a big meeting of Iranian leaders on 28 February, so the US and Israel decided to kill all the leaders, the Ayatollah in his home apartment building, where a massive shelling by missiles killed most of those in the building, the Ayatollah and his family, including a small granddaughter, and also all the Iranian leaders meeting in a government facility. The war went very well from that point, since Iran had no living leaders, so no one to resist the US/Israeli attacks.

Oops.

The seconds in command  took over immediately after the former leaders were killed. The permanent replacement for the Ayatollah has not been chosen, but a temporary replacement took his place until the Council can choose a permanent Ayatollah/Leader, and the replacements for the secular leadership took over and ordered old drones and missiles fired at US resources in the Arab Gulf States (it's legally the Gulf with Two Names, the Persian Gulf on the Northeastern Coast, and the Arabian Gulf on the Southwestern Coast). So the airspace was closed, and not clear when it will re-open.

Iran keeps firing drones and missiles, and a few US planes were downed with the US military in the planes parachuting to safety, but the planes were lost. The Bahrain US military base is well-basted by the Iranian strikes, and CIA headquarters in the UAE were targeted.

The US are running out of ammunition. US and UK ships have been hit and stopped from carrying their oil to the purchasers, so the price of oil is rising rapidly, as is the price of gold. Not clear what happens to the US$. Not clear how high oil will go.

And not clear what the US and Israel can do to regain control of the situation.

Actually, that's not true, Israel can use what they have been calling the Sampson Option: nuke Iran until there is nothing left, all the oil too radioactive to use, and no government of any kind, all of Iran reduced to radioactive rubble.

Not clear when this will happen, but no one expects Iran to just surrender, and that's the only way they can prevent Israel from nuking them back to nothing.

After 5,000 Years, the End of Persia???

I just watched Col Douglas MacGregor analysing the current military situation in West Asia. He notes that, for multiple reasons, the US military are very short on ammunition. I've tried to explain that, as a defence contractor for several years, the US military mainly exists to pump $trillions into the pockets of those who really control the US government, and, while a few weapons systems and the ammunition they need to operate get built, not very much of those $trillions gets wasted on such things, most goes straight into the pockets of the real US decision makers.

Meanwhile, Iran showed that ???

Actually, we don't know. Israel swears that only one Iranian missile hit Israel and killed 24 people who had not gone to a bomb shelter, clearly an act of genocide, the legal definition of which is "killing all or part of a recognised religious-ethnic group," of which there is only one. Israel killing all the Palestinians, all the Arabs, all the goyim, or whatever, is not genocide under the legal definition, but must be called "self-defence".

But Russian and Iranian propaganda sources all say that Iranian missiles did significant damage to Israel, damage no one has seen because Israel bans all post-attack photography. And Iran were being careful to avoid escalating the war, carefully avoiding doing too much damage to Israel, hoping Israel and the US would not respond with too much of an attack on Iran.

After 11 days, Israel asked the US to stop the 12-Day war, so Trump and Iran agreed: the US would bomb three sites, agreed in advance, and then Iran would respond with one missile hitting the US military base in Qatar at a time and specific location agreed in advance, so not much damage was done to Iran or the US military base, no one was killed, and the 12-Day War was over.

This time, Col MacGregor says, after the inevitable attack on Iran by either the US or Israel or both, Iran will start to totally destroy Israel, taking out all major resources. This is somewhat limited, since Israel moved some of the government from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and Iran cannot do any strike that endangers the Al-Aqsa Mosque, but a lot of Israeli vital resources remains outside Jerusalem, and all those will be targeted, and the only way Israel can defend themselves is with a massive nuclear strike that will totally obliterate Iran.

Israel can and almost certainly will do this, given the alternative, if any war starts at all.

As Col MacGregor states, Trump is being forced by Netanyahu to attack Iran, or at least to support a conventional Israeli attack on Iran. This, we know, is not true. Trump is just reading the Teleprompter which has whatever the people really running the US want him to say. We saw that his first term when he stated, firmly, twice, that all US troops must leave Syria.

Then, after the men in dark suits and dark glasses asked him if he really wanted to be the next JFK, and these are the successors to the people who killed JFK, Trump agreed to just read the Teleprompter.

And again, on 19 Jan 2025, we saw Trump say that, if the US did not withdraw from the Ukraine, the costs of the war would destroy the US. Trump had already been elected, so this wasn't a lie told to win the election, it was something Trump intended to pursue. Then the men in dark suits and dark glasses had another little talk with Trump, and he then said that Russia must completely withdraw from the Ukraine or Russia would be destroyed.

So Trump has been taught to just read the Teleprompter.

We don't know, yet, if Trump will attack Iran, or if Israel will attack Iran. Col MacGregor figures it's a certainty that will result in the total destruction of Israel, but he forgets that Israel is one of the world's biggest nuclear powers, even though it is a tiny nation. The DPRK probably have fewer than a dozen nukes, just enough to convince the US not to try any regime change, but Israel has hundreds, maybe thousands of nukes, all built with the assistance and acceptance of the US. And, if mortally threatened, Israel will use those nukes.

After which, few in the West will miss Iran.

This also has the great advantage that the PRC will be cut off from a lot of the oil they need to keep their economy running at the current level.

So removing Iran will serve both Israel's purposes and those of the US, so it seems very likely we'll see the first use of nukes to totally destroy a country (the nukes the US used in WWII were only to impress the USSR, Japan surrendered after the USSR declared war on Japan a few days after the nukes were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki).

There is, of course, one way out of this: the people who are really in charge might know that any war with Iran will result in Israel dropping much of their nuclear arsenal on Iran, and they might not want this to happen. Then they will come up with some way to declare 'victory': They will find something to which Iran can agree, something, anything, meaningless, something Iran have no trouble agreeing to, and then Trump will read off the Teleprompter, 'We have achieved total victory over Iran without a war!!!'

That's our only hope.

What's Happening Now????

As I wrote before, Scott Ritter, on Friday, 13 February, said there was no way the US could attack Iran, since the consequences would be a disaster, and the US military  leadership would never agree to such an attack.

Then, on Monday, 16 February, Scott said the US was about to attack, and the attack would totally destroy Iran, the US had identified all Iran's weapons, the location of all Iran's leadership, and all would be destroyed on the first day of the war, after which the US would pound Iran until there was nothing left that could possibly threaten the US or Israel, and this would take place in a day or two. Scott repeated this on Friday, 20 February and Monday, 23 February, the US attack was coming up very soon and Iran would be totally destroyed.

I then heard that the PRC had agreed to sell Iran some new weapons systems, but could not deliver for at least a year, by which time there would not be an Iran there to buy them.

One point that somehow gets missed is that the US imposed sanctions on Iran, so Iran could not sell any oil. The US did this to Iraq, a complete blockade, Iraq could not sell any oil or buy anything, and Iraq had started buying food with their oil money, and cut back on their farming, and Iraq needed to buy medicine since they had no indigenous medical industry, so at least 500,000 Iraqis died from starvation and curable diseases. And the US official statement was that those 500,000 dead Iraqis were well worth it.

Iran is not Iraq. Iran produces lots of food, enough to feed themselves and sell their substantial surplus, and Iran produces their own medicine, and can treat common diseases, only a few, rare diseases that required very advanced medicines could not be treated and the patients died, but only a few.

And then, in 2021, a fleet of oil tankers showed up and bought all the available Iranian oil, in spite of the US naval blockade, since that fleet of tankers had a bigger Navy protecting them than the US naval blockade, so the US naval blockade withdrew, not willing to attack a much bigger, stronger naval force.

The PRC desperately need energy resources, and they were trying to develop Venezuela, while Russia sold their energy to the EU.

Then the EU said they would not buy anything from the Russian aggressors who want to take over all Europe, and the US know that, if they don't help Europe support the Ukraine, US tourists who want to see the Eiffel Tower and Big Ben will have to speak Russian. So the US/UK/EU will do whatever it takes to stop the Slavs from overrunning Aryan lands.

So now the Russians are selling their energy to the PRC and India, but the PRC energy needs keep growing and growing, and the PRC might be able to do without the Venezuelan oil they spent more than $1 billion developing, but they figured it was better to cut and run, and focus on Iran.

But the US intend to get all the Iranian oil, oil that the Iranians have been stealing, returned to the legal owners, BP, who will never be allowed to sell any oil to the PRC, and then NATO will overrun Russia, which, according to all the US/UK/EU mainstream media are losing badly and all that Russian energy should be returned to the rightful owners, US oiligarchs, who won't sell a drop to the PRC.

Scott figures this isn't all that ethical a plan, but a military victory of the US over Iran is not only certain, but will be very easy, with no US losses or any damage to Israel.

Russia keep saying they will be helping Iran, but the Russian military, according to all the US/UK/EU mainstream media, were armed with WWII weapons, all easily destroyed by the advanced NATO weapons used by the Ukraine, who were also able to destroy the Russian nuclear triad with a drone attack against which the Russians were totally unprepared and unable to stop.

So the Russia don't have much of a military left, according to all the US/UK/EU analysts, and will soon be totally defeated, broken up into many small, demilitarised countries, and all Russia energy, gold, and minerals will be taken as war reparations by US oiligarchs, and no Russian oil will go to the PRC, which will then collapse back into an agricultural society with everyone working as small farmers barely able to feed themselves, and the PRC will no longer be a threat to the US, but will be back where they were in 1850, after the UK and other Europeans (plus the US and Japan) took over the Qing Dynasty China and stole everything.

That's the plan, and the US/UK/EU figure it's a sure thing and an easy thing and nothing can possibly go wrong.

Of course, Russia and the PRC and Iran just might have other plans. Professor John J. Mearsheimer says that the US generals and/or maybe Trump have figured out that any attack on Iran is not going to go well. Israel seem to think the US have set up lots of new air defence systems to protect Israel, so now's the best time to take out Iran, after which Israel will be able to take everything from the northern tip of the Euphrates to the southern tip of the Nile, but the US military experts, according to Mearsheimer, are not convinced this will go well, and fear that this might go very, very badly, and do not want to go to war with Iran.

Mearsheimer hopes that the US can negotiate a deal like the one that ended the 12-day war of 2025, where the US bombed some Iranian nuclear sites after giving Iran warning and time to prepare, then Iran was allowed a symbolic hit on an American base in Qatar, and the war was over interrupted for six months.

But Iran says that is not on the table.

As usual, if Iran figures they have nothing and the US can totally destroy Iran with no damage to the US or Israel, why wouldn't Iran agree to such a generous offer?

But Iran say their missile sites are well hidden, the US won't be able to hit more than a few of them, and the cost to the US and Israel will be far more than they can afford. Of course, Iran might be wrong about this, but the US idea, repeated by Scott Ritter, that they can totally destroy Iran without losing any US or Israeli assets might also be completely wrong.

We can all hope that Professor Mearsheimer is right, that the US are quite unsure of how much damage Iran can do, and are not willing to risk that damage, so they'll try threats and bluffs, hoping Iran will respond by agreeing to all US/Israeli demands, or at least to some US/Israeli demands, and then the US can declare victory without any losses.

Or, if Iran refuses to negotiate, the US/UK/EU can have all the US/UK/EU media say Iran surrendered without a fight, knowing they were totally overpowered, or did fight but lost, and US/UK/EU people are now in charge, and all is for the best in this, the best of all possible worlds! 

After which, Iran can continue to sell oil to the PRC in peace, but not a peep about this will make its way to the US/UK/EU media who will celebrate the great US/UK/EU victory over the Iranian Ayatollahs.

Are Ayatollahs Allowed to Lie through their Teeth?

I have been reading Trump saying the US will start with a small attack on Iran, just to show the Iranians what the US can do, and then give them a chance to capitulate: total disarmament of Iran, removal of the Ayatollahs to some monastery (or whatever the Muslims call it) where they can pray in isolation, and return of Iran to the Shah and all Iran's oil to BP, and if they do not capitulate, then total destruction of Iran.

I have read several analysts guessing when the small strike will be, and how much damage it will do to Iran, and if the US will really stop after a small strike and let the Iranians surrender, or will just continue with the total destruction of Iran, losing no US military forces or equipment while they totally destroy Iran.

This, however, does not conform to what the Ayatollahs have been saying: if one bomb lands on Iran from the US or Israel, Iran will respond with a full, 'regional' response, meaning, Iran will destroy all US military forces in the region, plus all oil assets, plus all of Israel. Are the Ayatollahs lying? Will they accept a small strike and not retaliate, hoping that will prevent a larger strike? Will they withhold their fire, even as the US destroy Iran, fearing the US might do much worse if Iran dare to shoot back? My guess is that the Ayatollahs are telling the truth about what they will do, even if the US and Israel are sure they are lying, that they cannot retaliate, that Israel told the truth, every Iranian missile except one was intercepted by the Iron Dome, and that one missile killed 24 Israelis who did not go to a bomb shelter, a clear case of genocide by the genocidal Iranians, a crime that must be punished, and punished severely.

Obviously, Iran lacks (maybe) missiles that can hit the US mainland, we only know they have hypersonic missiles that can go 1,400 km (870 miles), far enough to reach Israel and just about all the US military assets now gathered around Iran, ready for an attack like the one on Iraq in 2003. Only Iraq didn't have any hypersonic missiles, while Iran have many.

We also know that the US have nothing that can stop a hypersonic missile, unless they can destroy them on the ground before launch.

The US military now say they can do just that, US stealth airplanes cannot be detected by Iran, and US intelligence have located every single Iranian missile, so all the missiles can be totally destroyed in about 5 minutes, leaving Iran with no offensive weapons, and no defensive weapons that could hinder the US destruction of Iran.

As Scott Ritter says, the US cannot destroy all the Iranian missiles, but they can destroy almost all of them, leaving just a few of what the military call 'leakers', but these few leakers cannot possibly overwhelm the US or Israeli air defence systems, so all will be destroyed before they can do any damage to US military assets or Israel.

So Scott is saying that, while it is not true that the US air and ship-launched missile attacks can take out every Iranian missile, they can leave Iran unable to strike any US or Israeli targets with the few missiles not destroyed before they can be launched.

Again, all this leaves out what the Ayatollah has been saying: one bomb, just one, and an all-out retaliation will take place, and if the US cannot destroy all those hypersonic missiles, a lot of US matériel and Israeli buildings will be destroyed and a lot of US military forces and Israelis will be killed. It also leaves out the PRC and Russian defence systems that have been installed in Iran (and which Russia and the PRC figure should have been installed before 13 Feb 2025), systems that make stealth US airplanes as visible as a cow in a close-cropped field in broad daylight (even when those US planes attack at midnight).

So the US military saying they know they can overwhelm Iran is either a) a bluff, an attempt to convince the Iranians to surrender, since Iran can't possibly know it's a bluff  (actually, Iran will react as if it is a bluff); or b) utter stupidity, which will work just like utter stupidity always works.

The question remains: when will the US actually try any utter stupidity????

Attacks have been scheduled for 14 January, 1 February, and 6 February, but all were 'postponed'.

Trump said on 19 February that Iran had just 10 days to surrender, later extended to 15 days, so will the actual attack by the US on Iran be on Monday, 2 Mar? Friday, 6 Mar? Tue, 3 Mar to catch the Iranians off guard, since they'd never expect an attack on 3 Mar?

Basically, I'm sure Scott Ritter based his assessment on what he was told by his friends still active in the US military, but they don't seem to know much, or couldn't tell him anything except the official lie that the US is still, by far, the strongest military power in the world.

I keep repeating: the US ordered sanctions, actually a naval blockade, on Iran from 1980 until 2021. I read many newspaper accounts of oil tankers that tried to buy Iranian oil, only to be stopped by the US Naval Blockade, taken to a friendly port, and sold, along with the oil, with all the money going to the US Treasury, so not one ¢ of the oil's value went to Iran, and the owners of the tankers lost their tankers and their oil.

Then, in 2021, a fleet of oil tankers showed up in Iran and bought every drop of oil Iran had to sell, and when the US Navy showed up to stop them, found the tanker fleet protected by a more powerful navy than the US blockade, so the blockade withdrew, and Iran have been selling about 2 million barrels of oil a day, every day, ever since.

So the US military ain't what they used to be many long years ago.

One final point: the New York Times, always reliable, i.e., always reliably demonising Trump, say they heard from the top US general that the general told Trump not to order an attack on Iran, and then, after that, Trump said that the general gave him the green light to order an attack.

Which might actually be partly true: the general might know that an attack on Iran is not possible, never said it openly, but quietly mentioned it to a New York Times reporter. And Trump might be threatening a small attack in hopes that Iran will accede to at least some small part of Trump's demands (not clear what, if anything, the Iranians might agree to at this point, backed by the evil Russians and PRC who are providing the Iranians with defences the US cannot handle).

But whoever is really running the US (and also Trump) might be hoping they can somehow convince Iran to make some small concessions (possible, if those concessions are small enough, or maybe Iran conceding that they will never do something that they never had any intention of doing), and the US can then describe those minor concessions as a total victory over Iran (which is about the best the US can do), and if the US go the utter stupidity route, it will be most unfortunate for US military personnel stationed anywhere in West Asia or off the coast of West Asia, Israel, and the Arab Gulf states.

Trump, fortunately, uses bluffing, so we can hope all his talk about destroying Iran is just a bluff, hoping the Iranians will fear US power and make at least token concessions, but I fear even token concessions are unlikely.

When will the 2026 Iran War Start?????

Bessent said he deliberately crashed the Iranian currency to destroy the Iranian economy in late December 2025. In anticipation of protests over the crashed (by the US) Iranian currency, Mossad, the CIA, and MI6 sent in 40,000 foot soldiers with Starlink terminals, and they were directed (from Mossad in Israel, CIA in the US, and MI6 in the UK) to piles of weapons and where to gather with other foot soldiers to kill security officers and protesters not aligned with the pro-Shah forces.

About 3,000 were killed, mostly Iranian security forces and civilians, plus several hundred of the good, (US-, UK-) law-abiding protestors.

Of course, the US/UK/EU mainstream media note that that figure of 3,000 is Iranian propaganda, and scream that more than 30,000, maybe more than 40,000, maybe more than 70,000 peaceful protestors have been brutally murdered by the evil Ayatollahs.

It seems the brilliant Mossad/CIA/MI6 plan ran into a little snag: the evil PRC and Russia gave Iran systems that could disable Starlink, track down the locations of all the Starlink terminals, and then arrest the foot-soldier agents sent to start the overthrow of the Ayatollahs and return of the Shah (who is the son of the former Shah).

But the violent rioters sent by Mossad, the CIA, and MI6 all having been arrested, the Ayatollah was still firmly in control, so the planned 14 Jan 2026 US attack had to be postponed, as was the 6 Feb attack and the 15 Feb attack.

On 19 Feb, Trump said he was giving Iran just 10 days to comply with all US demands: no uranium in Iran, complete de-militarisation, no resistance to return of the Shah and return of all Iranian oil to the rightful owner: BP.  

Ten days would mean 1 March 2026, but Trump later extended the deadline to 15 days, or 6 March 2026.

At this point, the top decision makers in the CIA/MI6/Mossad seem to be unsure how to proceed: the evil Russians and PRC militaries have been helping Iran prepare their defences, and the size and effectiveness of those defences may or may not be fully understood.

Plan A says that the US have detailed knowledge of the locations of all Iranian weapons, and the US stealth-planes can easily evade all Iranian radar detection, so the hundreds of planes and missiles fired from ships and US military bases will destroy all the Iranian weapons, kill all the senior government officials, military officers, and Ayatollahs, and leave Iran ripe for the picking, with the Ayatollahs replaced by the Shah just as easily as Maduro was replaced by President Trump (who now calls himself the effective president of Venezuela).

But there are sceptics who think the evil Russians and PRC might have defensive weapons that can conceal the whereabouts of the Iranian offensive weapons, and then just might, a remote possibility but still a possibility, sink one or more of the ships in the Armada(s), shoot down one or more of those US stealth planes, and might have a few well-hidden missiles that could do serious damage to Israel, US military bases, Arabian Gulf oil fields, and close the Strait of Hormuz with Russian and PRC mines.

One strange thing is that, on Friday, February 13th, Scott Ritter said that Trump would not dare order an attack on Iran, since the chance of unacceptable US losses was too high, but on Monday, February 16th, he said that a US attack on Iran was imminent, possibly before the end of the week. He repeated that again this Monday, February 23, that the attack is almost (but not quite) certain, and very soon, maybe early in the morning one day this week or next.

Scott says that, if ordered to attack, the US know the location of every Iranian missile, and can take most of them out. There will be a few missiles that will get missed, missiles that the military call 'leakers', but this is why the US have put in lots of additional anti-missile defence systems to protect US assets and Israel from those 'leakers'.

Ideally, Scott says, there will be no US or Israeli casualties, with US air defences and Israel's Iron Dome easily able to protect US military forces and all Israelis from the Iranian 'leakers'.

But Scott says that success for the US attack, while very likely, is not absolutely certain, and there might be some US and Israeli casualties.

Scott is hoping that the top generals will warn Trump that, while success is almost certain, there is still a chance that US and Israeli lives could be lost if the US attack Iran, and Scott thinks that Trump is a coward, and hopes that Trump will be so cowardly that he will refrain from ordering an attack.

Scott, like a lot of people, detests Trump more than he has ever disliked any other president. I, however, saw Trump go on TV and say, 

'I order all US troops out of Syria!.' Twice! 

Then the men in dark suits and dark glasses asked Trump if he wanted to be the next JFK, since the US hadn't had a good president's funeral in more than 50 years, and Trump asked, 'What do I have to do?' and the next day, Trump ordered US troops into Syria. 

Proving Trump, like Biden and Obama and Bush, Jr. are all just actors playing the part of the US president, reading the lines the real president gives them to read off the Teleprompter.

But I don't know if the person really in charge will order an attack that might fail, or will just hope that the Iranians are foolish enough to surrender, and if they aren't, won't risk an attack that could do serious damage to the US military.

We've also been 'promised' an attack at least four times now, but no attack, and there is a high cost to having an Armada sitting and doing nothing, so we need that promised attack to finally come about very soon now, or the fleet will need to sail home.

Nuclear Physics and Iran

Walt Kelly called it "New Clear PhyFizzics", then noted it was not so new, not so clear, and, when the book was dropped in a bucket of water, 'nary a fizz.'

In 1945, the US announced that they had the world's greatest weapon: U₂₃₅! Of course, everything was Top Secret, so no details, but everyone knew that no other nation could possibly produce such a weapon, only the US, so when the USSR produced one after four years, the US executed the two Jewish spies who gave away the secret. The way the spies were discovered was that the Great J. Edgar Hoover picked up some people and said, 'You will be charged with espionage. If you do not confess, you will be executed. If you confess and name your accomplices, you'll get your sentence reduced to just a few years in Federal Prison. Now name your accomplices!' And the people arrested kept naming accomplices and naming accomplices until a Jewish couple, Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, said they had not been spies, they had not stolen nuclear secrets and sold them to the Soviets, and they had had no accomplices, so they were both executed (the others arrested got prison sentences of a few years, then they were released as disgraced spies who had helped the Rosenbergs give the USSR the secret to the nuclear bomb; J. Edgar Hoover said he kept waiting for a phone call on the night of execution saying the Rosenbergs were ready to confess and name their accomplices, and he would have immediately ordered their sentence commuted).

I saw a Disney comic book back in the late '50s, showing Professor Ludwig Von Drake teaching about U₂₃₅: the most powerful explosive in the world. He threw a speck into the Grand Canyon. Nothing happened, so they asked, 'What's happening?' and Ludwig said, 'It hasn't hit bottom yet.'

When the U₂₃₅ finally hit bottom, the explosion filled the entire Grand Canyon. Nothing about radiation poisoning, though, since this was a children's comic book explanation about the atomic bomb and U₂₃₅, no details like radiation poisoning allowed.

In fact, the story started that all the bombs were U₂₃₅, then that one bomb was actually plutonium, not uranium, then two bombs were plutonium, and now most figure all three of the US bombs, the one tested at White Sands New Mexico, and the two dropped on Japan, were all plutonium bombs.

The grimy details finally came out about the secret facility in Chicago (the Chicago Pile) where about 50 tonnes of metallic uranium and yellowcake were allowed to sit until a fission reaction started, then it was stopped and the Pile was moved to a more secure location. After three years of fission, the pile produced enough plutonium to make three bombs. Of course, the fact that the bombs were Plutonium was tippity-top secret, classified TS/SCI/NOFORN/BBR!!! The US wanted everyone to try to make a bomb out of U₂₃₅.

Everyone knew the US was buying uranium, millions of dollars worth, but the war left most nations without millions to spend on uranium when no one thought it would work until they saw the US do it, after which, every country that has 50 tonnes of metallic uranium and wants a bomb has a bomb. The countries without bombs either don't want them, so they sell their uranium oar, or they don't have enough uranium to build a bomb.

So the Soviets didn't need any spies, nor did the French, Chinese, Indians, Pakistanis, or North Koreans (the British and Israelis didn't need any spies because they got by with a little help from their friends).

But Israel and the US want rid of Iran, and saying they are building a nuclear bomb and are only a few days away from completing one (and have been just a few days away for more than 30 years) is more than enough justification to totally destroy the country (and then return all the oil that the Iranians have been stealing since 1980 back to the rightful owners, BP).

The only teeny problem that intrudes into this brilliant and facile plan by the US and Israel is that the evil Russians and Chinese might have been helping Iran with their defences (all deny that, since if Iran lose, Russia and the PRC don't want any of the blame, and if Iran win, they want the US to know they lost to a small country with only the most primitive defences, spears and arrows and such like against the most advanced weapons in the entire world that only the US Defence Industry can produce: one can hardly believe the $trillions needed for all the advanced development by ChatGPT required to produce those US weapons).

Latest Guess about When the War on Iran Will Take Place

The 2026 State of the Union Address will take place on Tuesday, 24 February.

I heard some experts say that any War on Iran will tend to overshadow and distract people from paying much attention to the State of the Union, something Trump would never allow, so the War must be postponed until at least 25 February, and then take place either that day or very shortly thereafter. 

Trump announced on the afternoon of 19 February that, if Iran do not surrender and agree to all the US terms within 10 days, the war will start. It is not altogether clear what all those terms are: One or more of:

1) the JCPOA that Obama negotiated, got UN Security Council Approval, and so was 'legally binding on the US', then Trump said he was cancelling the JCPOA? 

2)  no nuclear material of any kind in Iran?

3) no missiles in Iran?

 4) total disarmament, Iran must be totally demilitarised?

5) new leadership, the Ayatollahs all have to leave, the Shah has to return as total ruler of Iran, and must stick to his agreement to return all the oil in Iran oil to the legal owners (under US/UK/EU law): BP? 

 6)????

One must recall that, the last time Trump said time was running out, that Iran must meet negotiators on Sunday, 15 June or the war would start, that the war started in the early hours of Friday, 13 June, with help from many Mossad, CIA, and MI6 agents and from the IAEA, so Israel knew where every general and senior atomic scientist was living and droned all their homes, killing every single Iranian general and senior atomic scientist, and tried to kill both the Ayatollah and the president of Iran but only wounded the Iranian President, and the Ayatollah was not staying in the residence where the spies said he would be, so he escaped unharmed.

So Trump might expect a great victory, as Great and as Quick as Venezuela, a victory he will be able to brag about during the Address, so the war might start and end with a total and complete US victory before the address, catching the Iranians totally by surprise?

Last I heard, most of the experts are predicting that the war will start shortly after the address and take at least a few weeks, and some predict a year or more.

So will Trump wait 10 days, and start the war on 29 June, or sooner or later or ???? 

There are, of course, the second and third Carrier Battle Groups, AKA the second and third Armadas, which have not yet reached a position where they can participate in any initial massive strike on Iran, a strike which is supposed to be so massive that it will take out all the top government officials and most Iranian military assets, leaving Iran unable to make much of a return strike, nothing that can penetrate Israel's Iron Dome, which has been further protected by many Patriot batteries set up in the last few weeks. And if the US are waiting for all the Armadas to arrive, the war will have to be postponed until they arrive, which will be a week or more after the State of the Union Address, and not clear exactly when that will be.

Again, Trump said Iran must meet all US terms (which are not precisely articulated) before 29 June, but, based on what we've seen Israel and the US military do before, the attack might be sooner or later than that. 

*** 

After the first US and/or US-Israeli strike are launched from the one, two, or three Armadas, Iran are supposed to have nothing left that can penetrate the Israeli defences or the defences the US have set up to protect US military assets in West Asia, nothing that can do any damage to the Arabian Gulf oil fields, nothing that can mine the Strait of Hormuz and limit the easy travel of Arabian oil to world markets. And with the Ayatollahs all gone, the Shah can be put back in, all Iranian oil, stolen by the Ayatollahs in 1980, will be returned to the lawful owner (under US/UK/EU law), BP!

And after this victory, the US will be free to concentrate on liberating the Soviet Union from the Communist dictators, and then breaking up the former USSR into many, small, demilitarised countries, with all Soviet oil, gold, and other valuable minerals returned to the rightful owners, Western (mostly American) oiligarchs, as War Reparations. 

***

Of course, some of the pro-Iranian propaganda channels say the evil PRC and Russia have given some weapons to the Iranians that can stop any US or US/Israeli attack. Iran say, 'That is not true. No one has given us any weapons, we bought them all with our own money.'

In any case, it is not at all clear what kinds of weapons Iran have, except that none are nuclear. They might have hypersonic missiles that can penetrate the defences of the Armada(s) and Israel. They might have stealth submarines that can take out some or all of the ships in the Armada(s). 

I keep wondering about a) calling it 'three Armadas,' since the term 'Armada' covers all the US naval assets, not just part of them; and b) using the word 'Armada' after what happened to the most famous Armada in (British) history.

The Armada(s) are sure that they are out of range of all Iranian missiles, but it is not clear if that intelligence is correct. 

The Iranians also have some stealth submarines, but the US a) may not know that a backward nation like Iran could possibly have any submarines, and b) if they do, they are probably like the US Civil War Southern Rebel submarines that were easily destroyed by the Union Navy, so the US Navy are sure they can detect and destroy any Iranian submarine that approaches the Armada(s).

There are quite a few commentators on the pro-Iranian propaganda channels who figure the US Armada(s) will do about as well as that last Armada sent to conquer Britain, the Iranian hypersonic missiles and stealth submarines will be able to sink much of the Armada(s), and those hypersonic missiles will then do massive damage to Israel, US military bases, and the Arabian Gulf oil fields. Iran will also mine the Strait of Hormuz, possible with PRC mines set to never go off if approached by a PRC tanker, so the Strait of Hormuz will be closed to all ships except those from the PRC.

***

Net: a lot of people claim to have excellent intelligence about what is about to happen, but we'll have to wait before we can be sure.

What does seem likely is that, if the US and/or Israel attack Iran, and that initial strike fails to decapitate all Iranian defences, which then prove rather resilient and formidable, seriously threatening the complete destruction of Israel, then Israel will carpet nuke Iran to take out all Iranian defences. 

This will, sadly, leave Iranian oil too radioactive for anyone to use, and make oil permanently worth much more than current prices, but at least Israel would be safe from Iran, and could start concentrating on taking out Türkiye. 

After all, Israel were promised all the land from the Euphrates to the wadi, and, the Zionists have a new and greatly improved definition of wadi from the ancient Hebrew meaning (an arroyo), to the new definition, Great River, so now the word wadi means the entire River Nile, so Israel runs from the northernmost tip of the Euphrates to the southernmost tip of the Nile, and the Turks need to find someplace else to live, as do all the West Asian Arabs.

But we aren't sure what, exactly, it will take to convince Israel that they have reached a situation that necessitates the use of their nuclear arsenal, or if the Iranian response to an attack by the US and/or Israel would be such a situation.

So it looks like some very interesting times ahead. 

Calendars and Wars

Calendars:

16 Feb 2026 was Chinese New Year. Almost all the world's calendars are lunar, like the Chinese, where New Year can be anywhere from 21 Jan until 20 Feb. 

Note that the old, pre-Roman British calendar must have been lunar, since the word 'month' is very close to the word 'moon', meaning the old British calendar must have been lunar. 

In the Romance languages (I have no idea how 'Roman' became 'Romance' after the fall of the Roman Empire), there is no relation between the world for 'month' and the word for 'moon'.

Unlike the West, where there are big fireworks displays starting at midnight, 1 Jan, the Chinese have fireworks all year long, but sporadic, for weddings and other, similar events. But, starting two weeks before Chinese New Year, there are fireworks from noon until midnight every day. New Year's Day, lots of fireworks all day long, with most (but not all) ending at midnight, then restarting the day after New Year's Day at about 8 am. The Chinese New Year Holiday is about a week long, with lots of fireworks before and after the actual New Year's Day.

Wars 

Last week, I heard that the US military knew that Iran could destroy massive amounts of US matériel, ships and planes, with the loss of many American lives, and the US generals and admirals knew this, and would not be so foolish that they would attack Iran.

This week, I see that the same people who thought war with Iran was out of the question now think it will start very soon: the US think they have located all the Iranian missiles (or at least almost all the Iranian missiles), so the strike will destroy almost all of the missile launchers, and the few missiles that will reach Israel will be well within the capability of the Iron Dome to prevent their doing any damage.

I understand Trump has now sent not just one, not just two, but three Carrier Strike Forces, so the US now have enough firepower to easily overcome all Iranian defences and stop all Iranian offences. Probably false, but wars usually happen when both sides are sure they can win (rarely, when one side knows they are sure to lose, but want to go down fighting).

In any case, if the war does start in the next week or two, we'll find out if the US have the capability to overcome all Iranian defences and offensive attacks, or if Iran will succeed in destroying the US Armada, the US bases in West Asia, and stop the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz. 

The Current Wars: State unknown

As of now, I read in the New York Times that just about every Iranian is waving the old flag used before the Revolution of 1979 and demanding the return of the Shah, the US are supporting them, and the overthrow of the illegal government that has been tenuously holding onto power by ruthlessly murdering every freedom-loving Iranian will very soon be overthrown by the US military and Iran will then be returned to a peaceful and prosperous democracy under the Shah.

Of course, I also read the Ayatollah's propaganda that, while all the Royalist Iranians who fled Iran before (seeing it coming), during (as it was happening) and after the 1979 Revolution that put Ayatollah Khomeini in as Supreme Leader are very few in number compared with the overwhelming majority of Iranians who stayed in Iran after the Revolution of 1979 and found their lives better under the Ayatollahs than under the Shah, and now fully support the Ayatollahs, and they will all work together to fight any American and/or Israeli attack, and, if attacked, will destroy Israel, the US forces sent to attack Iran, the US bases, the oil fields of the countries hosting US bases, and will mine and close the Strait of Hormuz, through which about 25% of the oil traded by sea travels, forcing the price of a barrel of oil up above $700 and severely damaging the global economy, but if Israel and/or the US want to try, while Iran would prefer that they refrain and leave Iran in peace, Iran are ready to do massive damage to Israel, US forces in the region, and the global economy (maybe not the PRC which have a train running between the PRC and Iran that could carry all the Iranian oil that is no longer being shipped on tankers).

Also, the PRC and Russian navies are approaching Iran for 'exercises'.

So, as I said before, last week, Scott Ritter says the US generals and admirals know they will lose in any war with Iran, and since they can veto any orders to attack that they are sure will result in massive losses, no war will take place.

But other experts believe a war between the US and Iran will happen very soon (and generally figure Iran will lose badly, while being able to inflict little if any damage on the US forces, bases, host countries, or Israel).

The original plan was to severely disrupt the Iranian economy starting on 28 December 2025, starting peaceful protests, then to send in 40,000 well-armed supporters of the Shah with lots of weapons and Starlink terminals, so they could be directed by experts at the CIA, Mossad, MI6, and possibly some other European intelligence agencies, severely disrupting the Iranian government and their ability to orchestrate any defence, so the massive attack was to take place on 14 January, 2026, a massive attack called off by Netanyahu after the evil Russians and PRC gave Iran devices that made a Starlink terminal unable to communicate with the directors of the insurgency at the CIA, Mossad, and MI6, and those devices also led Iranian defenders to all 40,000 insurgents with those Starlink terminals, and they were all arrested and are now awaiting trial, so the government was back in full control, the Iranian military were ready to repel and retaliate for any attack, and the Allies against Iran were not ready. So the attack was postponed until 1 February 2026, then postponed again, and no firm date for the next planned attack has leaked out, yet.

And, as of now, it is not at all clear when or if that attack planned for 14 January 2026 will take place. Or what will happen if and when it does.

***

And all the mainstream media in the US/UK/EU assure us that Russia are very weak, their economy destroyed by the sanctions, and the Ukrainians are getting closer and closer to total victory, but the brave Ukrainians do need a lot more money.

Meanwhile, the Russian propaganda media  say the Crimea and the Donbas are now legally part of Russia, and the US/UK/EU backed forces will not be allowed to take or keep a single square meter, and they suggest that Odessa is historically a Russian city that might very well be added to the parts already taken by the Russians.

Russia want all the ethnic Russian parts of the Ukraine, they do not want the Aryan bits, but neither do they want the Aryan bits to join NATO and let NATO put military bases and anti-missiles in their part of the Ukraine. Russia wants the Aryans completely out of power in the Ukraine, with an understanding that the Rump Ukraine cannot have a large, standing military, or an Aryan leader.

Of courses, all the Aryans in the Ukraine, plus the US/UK/EU, all want a rabidly anti-Russian Ukraine that can seize all the valuable oil, gas, and other minerals that are now in Russia but which legally (under US/UK/EU/Ukrainian law) belong to the US/UK/EU oiligarchs, and the Ukrainian Aryans are happy to conscript ethnic Slavs to do all the fighting to liberate Russia and hand control over to some Aryans who will return all the Russian oil and minerals to the rightful owners.

So not clear what's happening in the Ukraine since things are too muddy for serious fighting now, and no one is sure what will happen when the land dries up and military manoeuvres can restart.         

US Defence Dollars at Work

I graduated with a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and/or Mathematics) degree, but no job offers. Science, Technology, and Maths are broad with no obvious applications. Engineering is very specific, so only one or two engineering fields are in great demand in any given year, then engineering students flock to those fields and those fields become overcrowded with job seekers and largely devoid of job openings, while new fields open up with huge demand and no graduates. So almost all of us STEM graduates were not seeing the vast array of jobs we'd been promised when we chose our majors.

But then I got an offer: the US government was offering defence companies $20,000 in cold, hard cash for every STEM graduate they hired, so they hired me.

My first day on the job, I was sent to Orientation with a Vice President. He told me, 'We don't need any T or E, only S and M, Sales and Marketing. Your quota is $250,000. If you don't bring in at least $250,000 in a year, you'll be fired. Now where are you going to go to get a contract for at least $250,000???'

I said I didn't know, did he have some numbers I could cold call? He handed me a thick book.

'You want me to start cold calling these numbers?' I asked.

'NO!' he thundered. 'These are numbers of customers who are already claimed by one of our salesmen, and we do not allow any of our salesmen to poach another of our salesmen's customers.'

(This was a long time ago, now he'd have to say 'salespersons' or 'salesmen and saleswomen', but back then, we had a few saleswomen, but very few, and you don't correct a vice-president over his gender usage.)

'Then whom do you want me to call?' I asked.

'You can call any number that is not in this book,' he answered, then added, 'I can see you're not a salesman, so I suggest you resign immediately. All the time you stay here, you'll just be wasting your time and ours. This interview is over.'

So I left his office. But I had read my contract, and if I quit, I had to repay the US government the $20,000. Or else. I wasn't sure if I could go to jail if I couldn't pay, or just hand over whatever money I got from a burger-flipping job, or what, so I did not resign, and they had me dig holes and fill them up, hoping I'd quit, but I didn't quit, I stayed for a year, then they fired me.

During that year, I met Chuck, and I asked, 'So how, exactly, so you get contracts?'

Chuck told me, 'My best friend in high school got a job as a government contracting officer, and he always gives me $100,000 a year, and that's my quota. I work just two months. I have to help my friend write the Request for Proposals, then he helps me write the proposal, then he recommends me for having the best proposal and coaches me on how to defend my proposal. Then I have to defend the proposal, and the committee has always accepted his recommendation, since he accepts their recommendations to give their contracts to their friends. That takes one month.

'Then, 10 months later, he coaches me on how to write the final report, and I have to present the final report saying we accomplished far more than we promised in the proposal, far more than what was required by the contract, and I get my $100,000 payment made out to the company. That takes the second month. My boss and his boss keep telling me, "Look, you only work two months a year and earn $30,000. If you worked 12 months, you'd earn $250,000 a year, and you and the company would be much better off." '

I looked up the company salary and bonus policy myself. Basically, the company policy was that, if you bring in $100,000, your salary and bonus come to $30,000, but if you bring in $600,000, your salary and bonus go way up, so you get $250,000. My friend continued:

'But I know I only have one friend who's a contracting officer, so if I worked my tail off for 12 months, I'd still earn just $30,000. So why would I waste my time working, when I won't accomplish any more or earn any more than I do barely coming into the office for ten months?'

We had card punch operators back then, and programmers. Officially, the US government did not want salesmen, they wanted STEM graduates doing advanced weapons research, coming up with formulae for new, advanced systems, but really, they just went to lunches and dinners with their contracting officer friends and talked and talked and got contracts, so the US government said they wanted STEM researchers, but the system only rewarded good salespersons.

For a real line of code that was part of a program that solved difficult Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematical problems, the total cost of research, development, programing, and punching the card really was at least $100, and that's what the company charged the government (a $100,000 contract meant 1,000 punch cards).

In reality, the programmer's only job was to write the code that would print out all the numbered lines of code, and, at the presentation of the Final Report, the salesman projected page after page of the print outs of the punched cards, showing there were 10 cards for every $1,000 the contract was worth (million dollar contracts had to have 10,000 lines of code, none of which would compile or run, except the few lines that got the computer to print out the lines punched in the cards, and no one knew enough about programming to know anything was wrong, or if they did, they had every incentive to say, 'I can see that this is brilliant science and coding that will lead to a new, very advanced weapon system.'

Our company did what was called 'basic research,' the underlying scientific research that would later be the basis for the development of actual weapons systems.

I saw the laser: they packed the target with explosives and a radio-controlled detonation system. As the target flew by, some distance away and fairly high up, they shot the laser at the target, someone pressed the button on the detonator, and the target exploded, 'totally destroyed by the advanced laser weapon.'

Ditto the advanced particle beam weapon system.

So the US will have a public defence budget of $1.5 trillion this next fiscal year, and weapons systems less capable than the Iranian weapons systems, let alone the Russian or Chinese weapons systems. And that $1.5 trillion is only the public part, the Classified TS/SCI/NOFORN//BBR part of the Defence Budget is almost certainly much, much larger (but we'll never know how much it is or how it is used).

And because of the huge budget overruns and deficits, gold has gone from $2,000 an ounce a few years ago to almost $6,000 an ounce this year, and this is likely to continue as the real value of the US$ keeps dropping and dropping, thanks to the US government wasting all the money needed for real research and development on fake weapons research.

Scott Ritter and Jeffrey Sachs differ on a possible Iranian War

I watched Scott Ritter, a former active member of the US military (not sure about his current status), who appeared on the Judge Napolitano podcast, and he says there will be no war on Iran: the US military commanders, the generals and admirals, know that Iran has weapons that can destroy:

1) All of the Great Armada(s) the US are sending to threaten Iran in the hope that Iran will surrender and disarm;

2) All of the US military bases within 1,000 miles of Iran;

3) All the oil producing areas in the countries hosting those US bases;

4) Most of Israel;

and Iran can close the Strait of Hormuz, which, added to the destruction of oil producing facilities, will block the world from about 25% of all the traded oil that travels by ship from producer to market and raise the price of a barrel of oil to at least $700.

So there is no way they will allow any US attack on Iran.

I then watched Prof. Jeffrey Sachs, who thinks Trump is an idiot who might start the war without thinking, and who would definitely start the war if ordered to do so by his Zionist owners.

There seems to be a disconnect here, but they were on separately, and Prof Sachs, who came on second, did not respond to Ritter's assurance that a US or Israeli war on Iran is impossible, but figures one is almost certain to happen, with disastrous results, given Trump's idiocy (Sachs does not like Trump).

There were more people on Judge Napolitano, and the majority figure any US attack on Iran will result in the destruction of all US military assets within 1,000 miles of Iran and also most of Israel, but they also figure Israel imagine that the US is so strong that the US military can totally destroy Iran before Iran can hit Israel with any weapons that can penetrate the Iron Dome (before, Israel was OK for about 9 days, then the Iron Dome ran out of ammunition and Israel was vulnerable to Iranian attacks, so the US, Israel, and Iran agreed to a way to end the war with a token US attack on Iranian nuclear facilities that did little damage, followed by a token Iranian attack on the US base in Qatar that did even less damage, so Israel, Iran, and the US agreed that they had reached a place where the US, Israel, and Iran could declare peace).

 Obviously, the US desperately want a repeat of the 12-Day war, with the US doing a symbolic attack on Iran followed by a symbolic Iranian retaliation, neither of which do any real damage.

But the Iranians don't want regular repeats of the 12-Day war, so they say that, if one American or Israeli bomb hits Iran, they will destroy all US and Israeli assets.

Current Best Guess: no idea, given the idiocy of Israel and the US: Israel want the US to carpet bomb Iran with a large enough fleet of bombers and missiles to totally destroy all Iranian defences, only this is probably not possible. Ritter says that the US military all know this, and say the US must never attack Iran, or all US military assets and just about all of Israel will be destroyed. Trump was a wild card when he first took office, he was ordered to send the US military into Syria, but instead he ordered all US troops out of Syria. The men in dark suits and dark glasses had a little talk with Trump, and then Trump ordered the US troops into Syria.

So Trump does what he is told, he is not really responsible for any of the idiotic and contradictory orders he keeps giving, he says whatever he is ordered to say, no matter how idiotic it is (of course, we don't know if Trump knows how idiotic these orders are or not).

But the people who really run the US of A have told Trump he'd better read the Teleprompter verbatim, or he'll be the next JFK.

And who knows what those people, who all have ID-10-T identification cards, will order Trump to do next. 

 

 

The Coming War Against Iran?????

Netanyahu has ordered the US to destroy Iran, so Trump sent an Armada a couple of weeks ago, and now says he's sending another Armada, and Iran had better be very worried, they must meet all US/Israeli demands or be totally destroyed.

Those demands are: 1) no nuclear weapons!

This is a reasonable demand, since the current Ayatollah says that Islam prohibits nuclear weapons, so Iran will never build one. Of course, Pakistan have nuclear weapons, but most Pakistanis are from a different sect of Islam than the Iranian Ayatollah and don't see having nuclear weapons as haram, but rather as a requirement since India have nuclear weapons they could use against a Pakistan that did not also have nuclear weapons.

2) no ballistic missiles! 

Iranian ballistic missiles, according to Israel, were all except one stopped by Israel's Iron Dome, and that one killed 24 Israelis, which is genocide under International Law, which defines genocide as 

Killing all or part of a recognised religious-ethnic group 

so killing 24 Israelis is genocide under the official definition, while Israel killing all the Palestinians or all the Arabs would not be genocide under international law, but self-defence against terrorists.

So all Iranian ballistic missiles must be banned to prevent another genocide by the evil Iranians.

3) no support for any anti-Israeli group!

Clearly, we must keep all the Zionists safe, since doing anything else is facilitating genocide, and the Iranians keep supporting the genocidal groups Hamas (which include all Palestinians), Hezbollah, and Ansarallah. 

So far, Iran has agreed to 1) and rejected 2) and 3), so such a rejection of a simple, essential Israeli Zionist demand means Iran must be destroyed.

Sadly, the only way that appears available to totally destroy Iran without risking major damage to Israel is to carpet nuke Iran. Israel has the nukes, but all those nukes have been officially TS/SCI/NOFORN/BBR, so Israel kind of, sort of, agrees that they have them while saying all such talk is strictly prohibited, and we must abide by whatever the Israeli Zionists demand, so we must never talk about Israeli nukes, but they have enough to totally destroy Iran, leaving Iran unable to ever threaten Israel again. Of course, that leaves Iranian oil too radioactive to use, so what will be left of Iran will have no obvious economic benefit to anyone, and all that oil that legally belongs to BP will be lost for the next 1,000 years or so.

A great solution does not seem available, but the total destruction of Iran by Zionist nukes seems like a good start to keeping Israel safe from attack by goyim, so I guess that's our only option. 

***

One knows that we can rely on the always accurate US/UK/EU media, who get all their information from the CIA/MI6/Mossad and EU intelligence agencies who assure us that an attack on Iran poses no threat to the US military since Iran are very weak militarily, and their military were massively damaged in the 12-Day War where the US obliterated all their offensive capabilities, so there is no danger they could sink any US ships, shoot down any US planes, destroy any US military bases, or succeed in getting even a single drone past Israel's IranIron Dome.

In fact, Iran are even weaker than Venezuela, and the US military, by far the strongest military in the world, if not the galaxy, were easily able to disable all the Venezuelan defenders with a new weapon that left them all paralysed and lying on the floor, unable to shoot at the Americans as they made the legal arrest of the narco-terrorist Maduro.

That same weapon will leave all the Iranian defenders helpless as the US arrests or kills all the Ayatollahs, arrests or kills all the Iranian defenders, and puts the Shah back in as total ruler (with a force trained and armed by the US to support and protect him and enforce all his edicts, plus Mossad will have a massive force in Iran to make sure the new Shah never suffers the same fate as the old Shah unless he fails to do what Israel orders him to do).

Then Iran will, as it did in 1953, return all the Iranian oil to the rightful owner, BP, eliminate all defensive systems, in fact the entire current Iranian military, who were guilty of firing missiles at Israel, and any other Iranians who violate US or Zionist law will be gaoled for Life without Parole, and Iran will return to being a great friend of Israel, a strong supporter of Zionism, and a source of labour for BP to extract and take all the Iranian oil, all of which legally belongs to BP under US/UK law.

All should be for the best, in this, the best of all possible worlds. 

(And we all hope that nothing goes wrong with this excellent resolution of the Iranian problem.) 

***

I must note that not all accept the obvious fact that the US military, the Greatest in the World, were easily able to arrest Maduro without the loss of a single US soldier, thanks to a new weapon. They say it was a very old weapon, the Almighty US$ that paid off the defenders (except the Cubans, who were most of Maduro's defenders who were not paid off by the US, and who were all killed).

But I think most know that Venezuelans speak Spanish, not English, and so could not understand the Americans demanding that they surrender, so the US had to use their advanced new anti-personnel weapon to totally disable all of Maduro's defenders and then arrest Maduro.

And now the US can and will do the same to Iran, and then probably  Russia, and finally the PRC.

Russia will be broken up into many small, demilitarised states, and the PRC will be returned to their proper state, a nation of farmers without any electricity or petrol, doing all the farming manually. (The US will take over all the PRC rare earth facilities and move them somewhere else under better US control, maybe Mexico or Canada, or maybe Greenland.

Neither state can possibly stand up to the US military, with new weapons that can disable all defenders and allow the US to destroy all military capabilities.

The US military and all the US/UK/EU mainstream media assure us this version is the TRVE one, so we must all believe it, not the Iranian/PRC/Russian propaganda channels that abound on social media that say the Iranians (with advanced Russian and PRC weapons) are more than a match for the US military (but not the Israeli military with their arsenal of nukes).

And we must ignore the fact that Trump keeps talking about the Great Armada, when the last Great Armada didn't do all that well against the English.
