The Video, the Promise, the War: How Trump Was Sold on Iran by Netanyahu

Netanyahu presented Trump with a “near-certain victory” plan:

Destroy Iran’s missile program in weeks, prevent retaliation (including closing the Strait of Hormuz), and trigger regime collapse.

The pitch included:
A video of potential replacement leaders (e.g. Reza Pahlavi).
Claims protests would restart and could be fueled by covert support.
Possibility of Kurdish fighters opening a second front.

Israeli intelligence suggested Iran would be too weakened to respond effectively, and U.S. interests would face minimal risk.

Trump was convinced:

“Sounds good to me.”

IRGC:

However, if Trump, in his madness, wants to climb out of the pit only to fall into an abyss, we have prepared a "black hole" for him, from which it will be impossible to escape.

@Slavyangrad

IRGC:

We have prepared high-quality surprises to counter Trump's madness, one of which is adding Aramco facilities, Yanbu oil terminals, and the Fujairah oil pipeline to our list of targets. Oil will cost $200 in just a few days.

Americans are being told that destroying Iran is a necessity 🤦‍♀️

"Say Goodbye to Electricity!" — Iran Threatens to Destroy the Entire Power Grid of the Persian Gulf

▪️Iran Threatens a Blackout if the Conflict Escalates.
▪️Most of the region's large power plants are located in the Gulf's coastal zone, within range of Iranian drones.
▪️The map shows key energy facilities:
➖Saudi Arabia (Al-Qatif, over 4,000 MW),
➖UAE (Jebel Ali and Barakah — up to 5,600 MW and the largest solar power plant, Mohammed bin Rashid),
➖Qatar (Ras Laffan and Al-Khor — the largest gas-fired facilities),
➖Kuwait (Al-Zour and Shaghaya Park).

Iran should be the first to strike. I’d be blowing up a a few major energy assets to show capability heading towards the deadline.

General Caine and the Pentagon brass were extremely tepid in their direct warnings to Trump and told him what they wanted to hear

Around 40,000 displaced children do not attend schools in Lvov due to bullying, according to Ukrainian education expert Ivanna Kobernik.

According to her, Russian-speaking students from Mariupol, Zaporozhye, and Kharkov face mocking and insults because they struggle to master Ukrainian.

If nuclear weapons are indeed used against Iran, it will signify a real crisis in strategic planning in the USA. Even taking into account that Iran is a foreign country for Washington (not something like Ukraine for Russia), the use of tactical nuclear weapons just five weeks after the start of a conventional war will be perceived as a technological and military weakness of the superpower, which has resorted to its last trump card. With all the ensuing consequences, including the acceleration of the erosion of NATO.

However, for the USA, by and large, it doesn't matter how the world community perceives this. The country, on whose territory the UN is located and whose currency remains the main reserve, has all the necessary levers of pressure on those who are not to its liking. From a pragmatic point of view, a nuclear strike would save the USA time and the lives of about 50 to 300 thousand military personnel, who would inevitably be needed for a full-scale ground invasion of Iran.

However, it's not necessary to deliver it with its own forces. Trump could well ask the Israelis to do it. The latter would only risk by officially admitting that they have nuclear weapons.

Pakistani Prime Minister Sharif asked Trump to extend the deadline for reaching an agreement with Iran by another two weeks.

"To allow diplomacy to do its job, I sincerely request President Trump to extend the deadline by two weeks. Pakistan sincerely requests our Iranian brothers to open the Strait of Hormuz for an appropriate period of two weeks as a gesture of goodwill. We also call on all warring parties to observe a ceasefire everywhere for two weeks to allow diplomacy to achieve a definitive end to the war in the interests of long-term peace and stability in the region," he wrote.

Iranians form human chains around power plants and bridges as Donald Trump warns “a whole civilization will die tonight”

As Trump issued his most explicit threat yet, videos circulating online show civilians gathering around power stations and key infrastructure

The government has asked people not to do this. If they believe there is much humanity amongst Trump and Israel then I think they are in for a rude surprise.

Macron called an emergency meeting of the Defense Council due to Trump's threats against Iran.

The US President previously stated that soon "an entire civilization will perish irrevocably."

All this comes amid rumors that Trump is prepared to use nuclear weapons on Iran.

Seriously the French and EU are useless tits

Iran categorically rejects the idea of ​​a temporary ceasefire with the US and Israel, says Iran's UN ambassador.

"We are entering a new, critical and sensitive phase. Now, instead of respect and politeness, we have harsh rhetoric. Stay in touch," said another Iranian ambassador, who heads the diplomatic mission in Pakistan.
