Mar 3, 2026 - My brief thoughts on Iran

I’ve never believed that a regime change was the goal, and I still don’t; it’s a total state collapse. These are very different things.

I do believe that Trump was being honest when he said that he’s against long, extended wars. Still high on the “success” of the Venezuela op, he was hoping to achieve the same in Iran. Just a quick in-and-out, a few days of bombing… maybe one week, tops.

Clearly, he and his cronies underestimated Iran’s resolve and state of readiness; they may have killed the Ayatollah and other top leaders, but in no way did this render the government inoperable or create the desired void. Thus, more bombs are needed, maybe for three to four weeks… maybe more. Don't be a stupid media outlet and ask "How long?"

Washington and Tel Aviv couldn’t care less who’s now in charge of Iran, as long as the country is in chaos and its oil production and proxy networks are severely disrupted, they’re happy.

CIA and Pentagon analysts, Mossad's too, are dangerous ideologues, but they’re not idiots; they’re well aware that installing a pro-U.S. and pro-Israel government is a real long shot, especially now. They’re hoping that the many factions they’ve been arming and funding—which is why the recent protests had turned so destructive and bloody—will weaken national unity and totally fracture the country, rendering Iran’s institutions, military, and oil industry inoperable.

These anti-Shia/separatist terrorist/militant factions include Balochis, Kurds, Turkmen, as well as other Sunni groups, and, obviously, ISIS and al-Qaeda forces are in the mix.
Terrorists and right-wing extremist groups almost always link back to Washington, and evil dictators are only so when they won’t bend to U.S./Western demands.
Iran has always been an important force against ISIS and al-Qaeda… meanwhile, the U.S. has continually supported these organizations in some way. The bigger ‘backer’ of terrorists?
Doubt what I say? Look who the U.S. and Israel put in charge of Syria.

The Ayatollah wasn’t as oppressive and evil as Western media made him out to be; just a bit of research will establish that the clerical regime had, in fact, greatly loosened its grip on society, and that Iranians, including women, enjoyed more freedom than the vast majority of brown or black persons currently living in the U.S. Mainstream Western media put out a tremendous amount of propaganda and fed much hate and ignorance. Idiots like Sam Harris gulped it all up.

The U.S., with its constant meddling ops and brutal sanctions, is the true cause of Iran’s  troubles and economic woes.

I won’t go into the details, but I will say: the “massacre” that the state is accused of having carried out during the protests is Western propaganda that fails to offer a fair assessment of events.

Since events in Venezuela, it should have been clear that:

  • This war was entirely expected, a key part of a larger plan.
  • This wasn’t a last-minute decision, nor did the U.S. ‘join in’ because Netanyahu is really in charge and calling the shots.
  • The order was important: before attacking Iran, the U.S. needed to be in control of Venezuela’s oil. (However, the Trump administration never thinks far ahead; controlling Venezuela’s oil isn’t enough to counter what’s to come, they needed to seriously develop its crude production first.)
  • Iran is key to BRICS and it’s an important part of China’s Belt & Road initiative, and its oil, like Venezuela’s, provided options that diminished U.S.’ control over the globe.
  • This is about Israel regional hegemony and U.S. global hegemony.
  • What's happening in Iran is completely in line with what’s laid out in the National Security Strategy.

Therefore, the attack was formalized when Netanyahu last visited the White House in December, a few days before the attack on Venezuela. The huge arms buildup in the region establishes that the U.S. didn’t just happen to be sucked into “Israel’s war” because Tel Aviv decided it was gonna go ahead no matter what. One day before the attack, the Trump regime stated that the “politics are a lot better if Israel strikes Iran first” (see headlines and highlights in picture, above, or do a search with that phrase). The U.S. was giving Netanyahu the green light. Saying that Israel forced Washington's hand is just a weak justification.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Iran’s nuclear program or the country being an imminent threat to the U.S.

The way that the Trump admin avoids mentioning oil, which is of major geopolitical importance, should set off a few alarm bells.

The negotiations were pure BS. The demands kept shifting and were too outrageous to possibly lead to an agreement; Washington wanted a “no” in order to paint Iran as an unreasonable and steadfast threat.

Trump had pulled out of the JCPOA as elements in both the U.S. and in Israel were angling for a war with Iran, which the JCPOA made harder to justify. Biden never did complete the easy task of reinstating the agreement, due to donor and deep state, pro-Israel pressure. Although Obama did more than most Presidents to beef up Israel’s military, he hated Netanyahu and his brand of Zionism, hence why he introduced the JCPOA; to piss him off.

U.S. hawks and the deep state have been wanting this war for decades, delusional Trump desperately wants to be the one to finally pull it off.
