everything being done by the Trump admin now to push the "turn on Israel/Netanyahu" line is pure misdirection aimed at re-establishing the element of surprise ahead of the imminent attack on Iran, which requires both a sustained air bombardment and a ground operation at the nuclear sites.

For the attack to have at least some chance of success, it is essential for the element of surprise to be re-established. The fake "negotiations" in Oman with the Iranians, the demotion of Watlz, the whining about "neo-cons" like in the Saudi Arabia speech, the fake "defeat" against the Houthis and all the fake "leaks" about how Trump is really very angry and feels betrayed by Netanyahu, are all intentionally designed to create a feeling of passivity among the Iranians and the belief that the attack may not actually happen.

Netanyahu's trips to DC was where they decided to adopt this strategy, and then immediately thereafter it was launched and the "Trump turn on Israel" propaganda began in full swing. The entire media class is of course playing along with it, with their "anonymous sources" giving them "leaks" that establish and launder the narrative.

Trump's trip to Saudi Arabia and the Gulf puppet regime is aimed at shoring up support among the US-NATO-Israeli empire's "Arab shield", and consolidate the inclusion of Syria's Erdogan-Jolani fascist puppets into it ahead of the attack.

As they have been desperately trying to re-establish the element of surprise with bullshit meaningless rhetoric, these are the actual material things that are being done to set up the preparations for the attack.

Trump's Zionist enforces have been heavily involved in Lebanon, demanding they do more and more to destroy Hezbollah and prevent its ability from being a deterrent against an attack. Again, Syria plays a crucial role in this, which is why they have now formally integrated it into the US-NATO-Israeli empire. This is not only to eliminate the land corridor between Iran and Hezbollah, but also to have the ISIS-fascist proxies serve as an attack force against them in the case they get involved, with an invasion of Lebanon from the East being threatened.

Similar moves are being made in Iraq, with Trump's Zionist enforcers demanding the state crack down on paramilitary forces that are not beholden to the US-NATO-Israeli empire but instead aligned with the Axis of Resistance.

What about the Houthis? The Trump Zionist regime realized that the bombing campaign by itself would not be sufficient to destroy them, and they needed to make preparations for a ground invasion with the aid of its Gulf proxies, the UAE and Saudis chief among them. To help establish the misdirection narrative of the "Trump turn on Netanyahu", they decided to come out with the fake leaks about how what was always intended to be a temporary withdrawal was actually part of the "distancing" between the US and Israel.

They will re-launch that campaign with the ground invasion in concert with the attack on Iran, or perhaps even earlier.

The Trump regime already made the decision before it came into office that the "Axis of Resistance", meaning the only material force in the region that withstands genocidal Zionist Israeli and broader US-NATO imperial hegemony, has to be destroyed by military means and that now is the perfect time to do it because, so the propaganda line goes, Hezbollah and Hamas have both been defeated and so are no longer deterrents, and Iran has shown itself to be a paper tiger that talks a tough game with red lines and operation true promises, but then never follows through so is fundamentally risk-avert and unwilling to retaliate with the required force which it certainly possesses.

This btw is another propaganda line they keep repeating, which is totally deranged and pure Mossad-CIA propaganda: The claim that Israel actually managed to destroy most if not all of Iran's air defenses and rocket building capacities in its pathetic irrelevant attack that in reality had zero effect on anything.

Yet if you read the NYT (Ronen Bergman the Mossad asset), BBC, Washington Post, CNN, AP, Reuters, Guardian, it is now accepted truth that Israel has already destroyed Israel's defenses, and so any attack on Iran will be easy, involves very little risk, and they'll be too weak to respond.

This btw is how the CIA-Mossad approached Trump with their war plan and got him to accept it.

This is of course the irony: To successfully establish deterrence, you have to show that you are willing to go to war. If you instead impose red lines and they keep being broken and you don't even follow through with what you said were the appropriate responses even below the level of an all-out war, like the bombing of Tel Aviv in exchange for the bombing of Beirut, then you have lost all deterrent value. You have convinced the other side that you are weak.

Iran's fundamental mistake was that they kept seeing their red lines being violated, and then they didn't follow through on what they themselves had said would be the response. The same with Hezbollah.

This is why Israel was emboldened enough to assassinate Nasrallah. They have admitted that they delayed it for a very long time because they were afraid of Hezbollah and Iran's response. Then they did the assassinations of Haniyeh, Fuad Shukr, and there was nothing. They did nothing. They just whined. They just posted videos of drone footage over Israeli military bases. And now Nasrallah is gone and they are tightening the noose around Lebanon and proceeding with its full integration into the US-NATO-Israeli empire.

take note that the entire Western media and political class, including all the pseudo-radicals, the "experts", the epic based "Israel critics", the Intercept and Drop Site writers, the Murtazas who btw is sincerely the dumbest motherfucker alive, are all going along with the "Trump turn on Israel" propaganda. They're either doing it because they're just as in the aforementioned case plainly stupid and always follow the herd (more on that here:

), they believe whatever is published in the NYT and Washington Post and Guardian and always follow the State Department line as filtered through the liberal media class, or because they're intentionally part of the misdirection propaganda campaign, as is the case with Mossad asset Ronen Bergman at the New York Times (more on him here:

).

These are the same people who went along with the "Trump turned on Netanyahu and got a real ceasefire!" bullshit in January. And of course when it predictably turned out to have been a misdirection ploy to get the "civilian" prisoners out and also try to identify the locations of the resistance through that process (both from debriefing the prisoners and the drones constantly hovering above), and they immediately went back to the genocide exactly as I said they would all along:

Now of course there are zero consequence for media class hacks when they go along with propaganda like this and they are all proven wrong because that's their function. They don't even admit they were wrong, they just pretend like their current participation in manufacturing consent is actually based on real deep insights and expertise and knowledge.

It's based on nothing other than being fucking hacks.

You'll see when the US launches its war all these people will again face zero consequences for having participated in the misdirection campaign, and start pontificating about the real meaning and significance of it as if they had known it would happen all along.

see also this recent thread where I made the same point:

. Now what if my seeing through this blatantly obvious, just hilariously transparant bullshit fake "leaked" stories of "OMG LOOK AT US, WE ARE SO ANGRY AT NETANYAHU, OMG LOOK AT THIS EPIC LEAKED STORY IN WAPO AND WSJ AND NYT ABOUT HOW ANGRY WE REALLY ARE!" was actually incorrect and there is a real "Trump turn on Israel/Netanyahu"?

Well first of all, the standard for determining that is not the countless bullshit fake "leaks" you will see coming out in the next period that are nothing but empty words, rhetoric, meaningless whining, the purpose of which I have already explained.

The standard in actually determining that has happened is material action. Real, material action. And in this case, that means that there is an actual Iran deal that prevents a war, which will by necessity include a cessation of what is a war going on now by the US-NATO-Israeli Lebanese proxy "state" against Hezbollah and also the same in Iraq and Yemen, and also in Gaza with Hamas.

That will mean that an actual "permanent ceasefire" has been established between the US-NATO-Israeli empire and the Axis of Resistance, and there will be no war, at least not in the short-term, by which I mean by the end of this year.

Now if that happens, it means that the Zionist US-NATO-Israeli empire is actually much weaker than I had assumed it to be, as it had determined that it is incapable of fighting a war with Iran, and it was convinced that an attack on its nuclear sites would lead to a war given Iran's retaliation to it.

But so far I have only been wrong in the other direction, in overestimating the deterrent capacities of Iran and the Axis of Resistance, which has turned out to be much weaker than I had thought it to be, and that was based solely on the unwillingness of Iran to actually follow through on its own stated claims, not due to any lack in material capacities. Btw, the Mossad was definitely behind the killing of Iran's president too, and that entire list of deranged Israeli actions just went completely unanswered. They even participated in covering up the killing of their own president because they didn't want to have to be forced into actual retaliation by admitting it was Mossad.

Yeah, that's actually pretty shocking. I was wrong there, and I admitted I was wrong in the wake of Nasrallah's assassination which was the direct result of this.

And this only strengthens my view that the US-NATO-Israeli empire will definitely imminently attack Iran, and actually, I'm not even sure that Iran would follow through on its red line and do a real retaliation to it.

It's very possible they will just do another bullshit symbolic "True Promise" strike and leave it at that, in which case it's just over. To be fair, it was pretty much already over with the assassination of Nasrallah and the lack of any real response to that, but by that point you can just accept that there is no such thing as an "Axis of Resistance" and that Iran has been decisively defeated as a counter-force to US-NATO-Israeli Zionist hegemony in the region of any significance.

also to be clear, there is no such thing as just an "Israeli attack on Iran". So when the attack happens and the line becomes "this was just Israel, they have the right to defend themselves but we weren't actively involved, just look at all those leaks about how ANGRY and UPSET Trump is at them!!", you'll know why they began pumping out this propaganda. And the same goes for the Saudi/Gulf "softening" on Iran. This is to deflect responsibility, and desperately try to avoid being targeted in any retaliation, and to give Iran the excuse to avoid targeting them and just focus on Israel.

But everyone knows the US, NATO and their Arab shield puppets in the region will all be part of the attack and that it couldn't and wouldn't have happened without them.

Now Iran, to ensure maximum deterrence in rhetoric, established as a red line that all of these forces will be considered as part of the attack and hence subject to retaliation, but whether they will actually follow through on that is unclear, and judging from their past behavior which was extremely restrained, to put it nicely, it seems highly unlikely. Which again ironically is exactly why it's going to happen, as they've lost all serious deterrence capacity.
