"Genius" Trump Thinks He Can Lie And Bullshit His Way Out Of The Latest War He Started With Iran

Must mention first that he's under the control of Israel and its ruler, Binyamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu has spent about 20 years trying to drag the U.S. into war on Iran. He's finally succeeded.

Trump, his minions, and reactionary shouters online and in neofascist media have been pushing the Big Lie that Iran is building (or is about to build, or already has) nuclear weapons. The entirety of corporate media has effectively bolstered this lie by never pointing out that it is untrue, and by speaking of Iran's "nuclear program." That is a thoroughly dishonest fudge that misleads people into believing the Big Lie that it is a weapons program and NOT what it actually is, a uranium enrichment program. Which of course is necessary to someday HAVE  a weapons program, which Iran DOES NOT AND NEVER HAS HAD. 

But if you were REALLY worried about it, you wouldn't have killed the agreement reached by the Obama regime and Britain, France, China, Russia, and Germany all on one side, and Iran on the other, which completely mothballed the enrichment of levels of concern, handed over the more highly enriched uranium, allowed for rigorous inspection, and was to be in force until 2030, allowing plenty of time for extension or a new agreement. Trump tore up that deal, and his successor, "Genocide Joe" Biden, didn't put it back. Hence Netanyahu is in charge. [1]

 Netanyahu tried vigorously to block the deal in the first place, even going to Congress at the invitation of Republicans (who controlled Congress at the time) to fulminate against it.

On February 28 Trump started his second war on Iran (the first was June 2025). This time the Iranians aren't allowing Trump to end it when HE wants. They learned from the last time, when they were successfully defeating Israel's missile defenses and should have pressed on. (I'm not on the side of the Iranian regime, let's be clear. I'm speaking objectively, what was a blunder on Iran's part that led to the current war, where Israel once again easily goaded Trump the Great Genius to attack again. As last time, this was done treacherously, in the middle of negotiations.)

So what is Trump doing now? Trying to lie and bullshit his way through, his lifelong behavioral pattern. Except now he's not some ripoff artist, incompetent casino owner, real estate hustler, TV actor, all around sleazy con man. He's president of the United States. 

Sheer idiocy that people voted for him. Criminal irresponsibility on the part of his enablers and abettors.

Trump is claiming Iran agree to most of the 15 points of his ultimatum (aka "peace plan," as the media, once again aiding and abetting Trump, is pretending it is). The ultimatum is a call for total surrender to all U.S. (i.e. Israeli) demands on Iran: completely dismantle its missile program and the factories for building them, completely surrender uranium enrichment (Iran is perfectly legal under international law to enrich uranium to a level well below weapons grade, which is 90% or higher), abandon its only allies in the world, the "terrorist" Houthis of Yemen, Hezbollah of Lebanon, and the Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas. All the groups that resist murderous Israeli oppression. (It would be immoral to abandon them. Not that only morality is guiding Iranian policy. As with all nation states, morality plays little or no part in critical decisions. Or any decisions.) The other demands, all written by Israel, are equally maximalist. "Unconditional surrender," a term Trump has recently used as his goal with Iran, would be more to the point than "peace plan." Once again power establishment media aids and abets Trump's gaslighting by going along with his preposterous falsehoods.

Trump claims, absurdly, that Iran "gifted" him 8 tankers of oil. That's not trucks, that's those giant ships that carry millions of barrels of oil. The media didn't hoot at that and ridicule him. No, they acted like stenographers and dutifully repeated the claim without sarcasm, just slight doubt.  Hardly the correct response to such a whopping lie.

Trump continues to insist, OBVIOUSLY falsely, that he's in "talks" or "negotiations" with the Iranians. The Iranians, far more plausibly, deny this. After all, what happened the LAST two times they were talking with Trump's envoys? Treacherous U.S. military attacks on their homeland. So "the" media splits the difference, saying it's "unclear" what the actual situation is. Is it? How many decades of Trump publicly lying and bullshitting and conning and ripping off do you need to acknowledge reality? To tell the truth for once in your godawful existence, media propagandists?

We have the Pakistanis claiming to be mediating, acting as go-betweens for messages between the U.S. and Iran. that's plausible. But that isn't the U.S. and Iran "talking" to each other. That's indirect contact. Trump is lying when he claims to be directly negotiating with Iran. Anyway this is the guy who claims 1] Iran GAVE HIM 8 oil tankers of oil, and 2] ALREADY SURRENDERED to most of the demands in his "peace plan" ultimatum for unconditional surrender.

Iran is currently, and quite reasonably, demanding reparations for the billions of dollars (or whatever currency you want to measure it in) of damages to Iran (not to mention thousands murdered, and many more fated to get cancer thanks to Israel plowing up oil facilities unwisely located in Tehran which spread a carcinogenic plume of pollution over the city population of nearly 10 million (9.84 million -2026 estimate)- almost 10 million souls put in mortal danger by Israel.

Which means, ultimately by the U.S. Since every warplane and every bomb and every missile Israel has is a gift from the U.S. A gift, paid for by U.S. taxpayers. (I.e. by us, if you pay U.S. taxes).

Unfortunately the putative "opposition" party in the U.S., the Democrats, aren't in a good position to oppose Trump and Israel. They too are a wholly owned subsidiary of the State of Israel. They too have hated Iran since the overthrow in 1979 of the U.S.' favorite murderous tyrant, Reza Pahlavi, the "Shah" ("King") installed by the CIA on Eisenhower's orders in 1953. So what the Democrats  do is whine about "process," Trump should have CONSULTED them first, or BRIEF them. So they can feel IMPORTANT, they can feel like they MATTER, which they less and less do.

The REAL opposition party, the party that opposes U.S. imperialism and the corporate oligarchy that rules America is the Green Party. (There are other smaller parties less well organized nationally). They are rendered invisible to most Americans because "the media," the system of power establishment propaganda, is assiduously makes sure to NEVER EVER MENTION EVEN THE EXISTENCE of the Green Party.

So now we're in a slowly developing global economic crisis. In retaliation for Israel bombing its aluminum plants, Iran has struck similar facilities in the U.S. stooge nations on the Arabian peninsula. Aluminum prices are rising as a type. Michael Bloomberg Billionaire's propagandists are reporting that the World Trade Organization has become irrelevant. Trump's war has hit U.S. farmers, who are among his biggest supporters, hard, as this is just when they need to buy fertilizer, which is petroleum dependent and much of which comes from those same same Arabian peninsula nations. (As of this writing fertilizer prices are up 25%.

Well that's enough for now. Isn't it.

 1] The JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) was agreed by the nations I mentions above and Iran limiting Iran's enrichment to 3.67% for 15 years, until 2030. Weapons grade is 90%+. Seems like a good deal, not a terrible, dangerous one as Netanyahu and his puppet, Trump, insisted at the tops of their lungs.

Is Iran Still Holding Back From Vigorously Defending Itself, Or Are Its Weapons Not Accurate?

 It's a bit of a mystery to my why Iran, after scores of its top leaders have been murdered by Israel and its colony the U.S., and numerous atrocities committed- hospitals and homes targeted by Israel, a girls' elementary school hit with a double tap strike by the U.S. on the first day of the latest unprovoked surprise attack on Iran on February 28th, Israel blowing up an oil refinery site in Tehran, blanketing the city with toxic oil fallout which is going to cause a cancer epidemic in coming years- why Iran's response has been relatively feeble.

Why haven't the Iranians eliminated the genocidal maniac Binyamin Netanyahu? Why haven't they bombarded the Knesset, the prime minister's residences and offices, the secret police headquarters (Shin Bet, Mossad, and other various secretive military and other units), the airfields from which Israel launches its U.S.-supplied jets with their U.S.-supplied ordnance to devastate Iran? What about Dimona, Israel's nuclear weapons manufacturing plant and military reactor?

Israel has 5 or 6 desalinization plants that supply water. It would be fitting to destroy those plants, after Israel has eliminated potable water in Gaza, in order to spread disease and murder Palestinians en masse just as the Germans killed millions of Soviet prisoners of war and many of its victims in concentration camps.

Maybe the Iranian regime fears the reaction. Israel is like the Third Reich reborn. It has nuclear weapons. Good reason for restraint. And of course the U.S. is a mad dog empire under Trump.

This is the second surprise attack launched by Israel and its U.S. puppet while Trump and his accomplices pretended to be "negotiating" with Iran. First came June 2025, with death and destruction rained down on the Iranians by Israel and its U.S. colony. Then the February 28 war, which is ongoing. 

Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu has been trying for 20 years or more to get the U.S. to attack Iran, thundering that Iran was about to get nuclear weapons. (Yes, the same lie for decades, now treated as fact by the accomplice U.S. media, including alleged opponents of Trump.) Now Netanyahu has realized his violent dream.

Every day, there is mindless chatter in U.S. media asking what the "goals" are of the U.S. and Israel, and are they the same? I don't know if the members of the bourgeois blatherariat are really that dumb or are just pretending to be. There is no mystery. Trump obviously wants to install a pliant regime in Iran. Israel wants to break Iran into several smaller, weaker countries, in pursuit of the goal it has had since its creation in 1948, regional hegemony. It needs to reduce Iran in size, geographically, economically, and in population, to achieve that goal. Besides Persians, Iran has significant populations of Kurds, Beluchis, and Aziris. Earlier this month there were stories in the U.S. media about provoking a Kurdish uprising. Israel claimed it could do this. But the Kurds, having been repeatedly used as a proxy army in various U.S. schemes and then double-crossed by the U.S., a history going back decades, apparently said No Thanks. (There is much easily accessible information online of what I'm talking about- just search "U.S. betrayal of the Kurds" or something like that to educate yourself.)

The people of Iran have suffered grievously ever since 1953. That is the year U.S. president Eisenhower ordered the CIA to destroy democracy in Iran and install a horrible dictator, Reva Pahlavi, the "Shah," (King). The CIA created one of the world's most vicious secret police forces for the Shah, SAVAK, which compiled a horrendous record of gruesome torture and murder. Amnesty International judged Iran under the Shah the world's worst violator of human rights. Until he was finally overthrown in a mass uprising in 1979, 250,000 Iranians were murdered by his regime.

Then after a too brief period of civilian rule, the Mullahs, led by their leader Khomeini, seized power and created the oppressive theocracy that controls Iran to this day. Having exterminated all possible organized opposition, the Shah left as his legacy the only organized force left in Iranian society, the Mullahs.

Today it is hard to discern a bright future for the people of that country. That makes especially cruel and callous and sick Trump's occasional throwaway lines about liberating or helping the people of Iran, about whom he couldn't give a fuck. Being a narcissist, he only cares about himself and those he considers extensions of himself.

 

 

What Next For Iran?

 If the U.S. and Israel succeed in the announced goal of ousting the Islamic regime, what will happen is Iran will break up. The Kurds will seize control of a region, and the Baluchis will seize another area, and declare their own nations.

The only way that could be prevented is by a U.S. ground invasion. Otherwise there is no armed force on the ground to prevent that if the regime is destroyed.

The U.S. plan, in an idiotic echo of the Bush regime scheme to impose Ahmed Chalabi on the Iraqi people, is to make the son of the late and hated dictator Shah of Iran the new ruler of Iran. But what men with guns will back him on the ground? He will need the U.S. army (and Marines and Navy SEAL terrorists, who will want in on the murderous "action") to put and keep him in power in Iran. The Voice of America is broadcasting Son of Shah's propaganda (in Farsi) into Iran. As if anyone there is listening, or would be inspired by his guff.

Breaking Iran into pieces is most likely what Israel would like best.This would mean three smaller, weaker countries in place of Iran. Israel is fanatically intent on being the regional hegemon, with the other states and people prostrate and helpless at its feet.

But since the only armed forces in Iran are tightly aligned with the regime, it seems unlikely that the regime CAN be toppled, not without an ARMED opposition. Apparently the CIA and Mossad haven't figured out a way to smuggle large numbers of arms into Iran without getting caught, and training up Iranian civilians in their use, and organizing them into people's militias. Absent that, the U.S. will have to invade the country to oust the mullahs from power. 

As an atheist, and a human to whom human rights are important, the Iranian regime is loathsome. Just as the regimes of such U.S. allies as Saudi Arabia, a repressive, vicious theocracy, is loathsome.

But let's remember how we got here. President Dwight David Eisenhower ordered a CIA coup in 1953 that destroyed democracy in Irao. The following year he ordered the same in Guatemala. In both nations the result was about a quarter million murders by the regimes. Iran had a revolution in 1979 which brought the current theocratic tyranny to power. Guatemala is still a death squad, fascist state, but with fewer death squad murders than in the past.The U.S. finds indigenous fascist forces and oligarchs to use to create its preferred fascist states.

Israel assassinated the Ayatollah, Khamenei, on the idiotic premise that this would cause the collapse of the regime. The mullahs are not dependent on him. He was 86 anyway. The regime didn't collapse when Khomeini, the first Ayatollah who took power in 1979, died. Just as the Israeli government wouldn't collapse if Netanyahu got his just desserts and was assassinated, or the U.S. government collapse if Trump was eliminated. Israel's and the U.S.' behavior drag the world down into a more barbarous state. Of course both these nations have horrible histories of many crimes, but one hopes for progress, not regression. 

One more thing: Trump is pretending he wants to free the Iranian people. Of course that is bullshit. He is a self-centered narcissist who could give a rat's ass about the Iranians. Here's a hint to how much the U.S. cares about Iranians: either the U.S. or Israel bombed a girls' school during the during the current aggression- on the very first day. They slaughtered 153 people (according to the Iranian foreign ministry). Not a peep in U.S. media, and whichever nation did it, it's accomplice in naked aggression didn't condemn it or even say don't do that sort of thing again.

The U.S. doesn't care about the Iranian people any more than it did in 1953. And Israel wants to break Iran into pieces. It wants all other nations in the Middle East to be as weak as possible, so it can be a regional hegemon until the end of time.

A demented fantasy every bit as psychotic as the Third Reich's was.
