President Donald Trump is leading the attack on Iran. This much is clear when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says there were two assassination attempts on President Trump by Iranians, once when he was campaigning and the bullet nicked his now famous ear!
Then at the golf course at Mar-a-Lago where the bushes provided cover to the would-be-assassin as the bullet almost parted the soon-to-be 47th President’s hair.
Nobody had an idea whose assassins wanted Trump’s life snuffed out. And why Trump when Joe Biden was President? Did the Iranians know Trump would be elected President?
By “Iranians” meaning the Khamenei people? How did Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu know and why did he remain silent if he knew it? Today, when Iran is down and nearly out, Netanyahu has the courage.
Does President Trump believe ‘Bibi’? Does Netanyahu want to punish Iran because of the two assassination attempts on Trump when he was the most vulnerable? Once when he stood atop a stage and the second time when Trump was tailing a golf ball!
President Trump is possibly Mr. Simplicity people don’t talk about unless with a gender-change. Trump says and does things in the most convoluted manner in which he answers questions. So, Trump says, “Iran should have accepted the deal, but that’s okay, let them first fight it out!”
What does the man want, War or Peace? Or War & Peace? Just when you think it must be peace, he gets up and says, “Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran.” And when the common Iranian is doing that, he wants Iran to sign the nuclear deal with the United States!
Which country is at war with Iran, Israel or the United States? President Trump attends the Group of Seven (G7) Summit in Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada, and then he exits because he’s gotta tell Tehran residents to evacuate because Israel is gonna attack civilian areas.
“Iran should have signed the ‘deal’ I told them to sign. What a shame, and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!” Trump wrote on social media.
And when one thought Iran was stone deaf, Iranian state media reported explosions and the anchor/newsreader stood up amid sounds of exploding bombs and fled the studio followed by cries of ‘Allah-hu-Akbar’. It was eerily scary, whatever happened to the anchor, did she survive President Trump’s warning salvo?
Trump’s evacuation warning was followed by the Israel Defense Forces evacuation order: “Dear citizens, for your safety, please leave the described area in the 3rd district of Tehran immediately”, posted in ‘Farsi’ by the IDF Arabic-language spokesperson Col. Avichay Adraee on ‘X’.”Your presence in this area endangers your life.”
Meanwhile, just for fun, Trump crows on social media that Iran “isn’t winning against Israel, should negotiate before it’s too late.”Videos shared on social media showed people leaving Tehran. Trump’s and the IDF’s warnings was followed by “a wave of escalating hostilities.”
Israel’s massive air campaign is code-named “Operation Rising Lion”, what’s President Trump’s ‘demoralize Iran campaign’ called? Israel has been targeting Iranian nuclear facilities and military establishments as also top Iranian military leadership. Iran in turn has fired multiple volleys of ballistic missiles and drones at Israeli cities, setting sirens to go off in multiple voices.
The United States is an ocean and a half sea away from Iran and yet the United States feels a potential Iranian nuclear heat. But, of course, Israel will be sweating. The slovenly military parade the American military put up on President Trump’s “birthday” was proof the United States needs more capable hands on deck, winning a potential war against Iran cannot be fought hand-to-hand.
Modern-day, 2025 warfare is missiles and drones and cock-a-sure nuclear threats, like the one, which Iran held out, stating that “if Israel nukes Iran, Pakistan will nuke Israel” and so on and so forth. And if Pakistan is involved, India can’t be far behind, at the most a split-second from Armageddon!
Israel’s goal is to eliminate the “existential threat posed by Iran’s nuclear and missile programmes” and to “protect the world from this incendiary regime.” Trump makes similar noises. “No more death, no more destruction, just do it before it’s too late. God bless you all.”
After all that, will Trump’s convoluted declaration of “War & Peace” be heard? Is dialogue possible between Iran and Israel? Israel considers Iran an existential threat and Iran wants Israel out of the middle-east’s coordinates!
It’s the sleepy head dealmaker President who holds the key, except that the man doesn’t sleep! If Trump orders Israel to halt, Benjamin Netanyahu will halt. All that Trump does is ask Iranians to evacuate so that Israel can bomb Iran out of existence and vice versa. Only a warhead does that! Trump holds the key to ending the Israel-Iran war, the question is will he? (IPA Service)
