President Donald Trump was poorly advised in the lead-up to the Iran war and believed that the decapitation strike that knocked out Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would lead to a swift victory – similar to what the U.S. experienced earlier this year in Venezuela when it kidnapped Nicolás Maduro.
Regardless of the outcome of the U.S. and Israel’s war of aggression against Iran, the result is clear: the world has changed and Washington’s presence in the Middle East will never be the same.
Dysfunction, decadence, depravity and a death cult: that, in a nutshell, sums up the mindset now at the heart of the Trump administration.
President Donald Trump on Saturday appealed to other countries to intervene to help open the Strait of Hormuz, stating that the war should have “always been a team effort, and now it will be.”
President Donald Trump has vowed to protect commercial tankers stuck inside the Strait of Hormuz with the U.S. Navy and has appealed to other countries to join a coalition to see to it that Iran can no longer keep the vital waterway essentially closed for business.
Abbas Araghchi, the Iranian foreign minister, said in an interview with CBS News on Sunday that Tehran has not sought a ceasefire with the U.S. and Israel and is prepared for a long war.
The Trump administration’s daily updates about the direction of the war in Iran have deviated from the traditional sober assessments of military engagements from the White House in the past, and sound more like the trash-talking you may have heard from a high school bully, or stupid movies.
President Donald Trump’s decision to carry out an illegal war of aggression against Iran was quickly praised by some of his most devoted supporters and pro-Israel politicians, led by warmonger Sen. Lindsey Graham who said in an interview that the $1 billion-a-day price tag is well worth the money.
The warmongers in the U.S. Congress agree that President Donald Trump should not be constrained while he prosecutes his illegal war of aggression against Iran and voted against resolutions last week that would have stopped the White House from continuing its airstrikes alongside Israel until it sought approval from Congress.
French President Emmanuel Macron blamed Iran for forcing the U.S. and Israel’s hands to launch their attack and vowed that Paris’s military will support the war effort in an effort to “protect and to restore peace as soon as possible,” but WSWS said he actually means his forces will support the U.S.’s “neocolonial war of aggression” and Israel’s continued genocide in Gaza.
