An Israeli settler responds to Netanyahu and Katz in a post on X
“The Israeli army hides behind civilians in the heart of Tel Aviv, then blames the Iranians for targeting the population. To them, my children and I are just collateral damage.”
She attached a map showing the Israeli Ministry of Defense building, “Kirya,” located near civilian facilities in central Tel Aviv.

The Lead
Hey, Stupid! Nobody Wins a Nuclear War (and If You Cause One, You Will Not Be Raptured)
by Diane Sare (EIRNS) — Jun. 16, 2025
The MAGA movement which elected Donald Trump to a second term, despite massive press hysteria, legal witch hunts and questionable election practices, is sharply divided on the question of the survivability of nuclear war. For any sane person, this should be a no-brainer. Former U.S. President and former Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force in Europe Dwight Eisenhower once quipped, “The only thing worse than losing a nuclear war, would be winning a nuclear war.” President Ronald Reagan was so concerned about this that he embraced Lyndon LaRouche’s proposal for laser particle beam defense, to be developed jointly by the U.S.A. and the Soviet Union, and despite Soviet rejection of his offer, on March 23, 1983, he announced the “Strategic Defense Initiative” “to render nuclear missiles impotent and obsolete.”
Today, however, the understanding of what happens in a thermonuclear exchange has been relegated to special courses taught by experts like Steve Starr and Ted Postol. Children in the “civilized” Western world are not taught about what happened to Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August of 1945. Worse, so-called military experts, including those holding important policymaking positions like Rear Admiral Thomas Buchanan, Director of the Plans and Policy Directorate of the U.S. Strategic Command, have revealed that they consider nuclear war to be “winnable.” Consider Buchanan’s remarks at the Nov. 20, 2024 CSIS conference:
“I think everybody would agree, if we have to have an exchange, then we want to do it in terms that are most acceptable to the United States. So, it’s terms that are most acceptable to the United States that puts us in a position to continue to lead the world, right?”
After a thermonuclear exchange, according to Buchanan, it’s important that the United States still be able to “lead the world.”
Last week, on June 10, two days after President Trump’s emergency Camp David summit, involving Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Vice President J.D. Vance and other unnamed “admirals and generals,” Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, from her personal social media accounts (where she has now added the disclaimer: Views do not reflect position of USG/DoD), posted a 3½ minute graphic video about her recent visit to Hiroshima, where she showed images of the aftermath of the nuclear bomb, and warned that today’s nuclear bombs are 14 times as powerful. For this, she was roasted by British and Zionist neo-con rags, and in some cases, as by New Republic Editor Mark Levin, and accused of betraying American war heroes by denying the necessity of dropping the bombs to end the war.
The war-mongering faction includes such luminaries as Sen. Lindsey Graham, Gen. Michael Flynn, and today, the sometimes sane Roger Stone, who just sent out an email praising Nixon for coming to the aid of Israel with massive matériel in 1973, seeming to imply that Trump should do the same.
On the other hand, Tucker Carlson, former Trump advisor Col. Douglas Macgregor, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), and now even Steve Bannon have come out opposing American involvement in a war with Iran, even if not in the most courageous way, by saying it is a betrayal of “America First.” In a lengthy post on X, Marjorie Taylor Greene wrote, “Everyone is finding out who are real America First/MAGA and who were fake and just said it bc it was popular. Unfortunately the list of fakes are becoming quite long and exposed themselves quickly. Anyone slobbering for the U.S. to become fully involved in the Israel/Iran war is not America First/MAGA. Wishing for murder of innocent people is disgusting. We are sick and tired of foreign wars. All of them.
And this one will quickly engulf the Middle East, BRICS, and NATO as countries are required to take a side.…”

The MAGA movement which elected Donald Trump to a second term, despite massive press hysteria, legal witch hunts and questionable election practices, is sharply divided on the question of the survivability of nuclear war. For any sane person, this should…
As Helga Zepp-LaRouche asserted in the call with her international associates, nothing is guaranteed about which way this will go. It has just been reported that a previously scheduled meeting between Russia and the United States aimed at resolving ongoing diplomatic tensions has been canceled at Washington’s initiative, even as President Trump pointedly told Canadian Premier Mark Carney that had Russia not been thrown out of the G8, “this war” [which one, we must now ask?] would not have happened.
The mixed messages from President Trump will not work anymore, thanks to the attacks on Russia and Iran within the first two weeks of June. Trump can no longer be a trusted negotiator for peace, which he doesn’t seem to realize is the case. The United States and the Trump presidency are also being targeted by a “strategy of tension,” as seen in the shootings (one fatal) of Democratic legislators in Minnesota, and the billionaire-funded No Kings rallies across the United States.
While we cannot predict what President Trump will do, and cannot control what our neighbors will do, we can control what we are going to do, which must be to build the LaRouche movement with vigor, including signing up hundreds of people for subnoscriptions to EIR, and memberships in the Schiller Institute and The LaRouche Organization, and inviting them to participate in the Friday International Peace Coalition meetings. We are the “idea” people, as reflected in our conferences and in publications like Leonore and Ibykus, and our ideas are needed.

Yep...it looks the Donald is completely co-opted by the Neocons and the British. A friend of mine who was completely Trump-skeptical turned out to right about him. Donald Trump is acting in complete bad faith now. I no longer see him as a "lesser evil" to the Democrats or establishment Republicans (Trump is tossing their salad now). At least Biden and the Bushes were more candid about their warmongering.

Wondering why there’s a total media blackout in Israel?
Why Trump abruptly cut his G7 visit and rushed back to D.C.?
Well… turns out Iran just introduced a new generation of missiles, launched vertically, vanishing into the sky, and reappearing only when it’s too late.
Occupied Palestine is in chaos. All hell is breaking loose within Zionist Israeli occupied territories.

💢 Only weeks ago, U.S. intelligence assessed that Iran was not pursuing a nuclear weapon.
“The intelligence community continues to assess that Iran is not pursuing a nuclear weapon and that Supreme Leader Khamenei has not ordered a resumption of the nuclear program he suspended in 2003. Our intelligence agencies continue to monitor Tehran in case it decides to resume a nuclear weapons program.” — Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. March 25, 2025

💢 — In 1982, Bibi claimed that destroying the USSR would lead to the collapse of "Palestinian terrorism."
— In 2002, to eliminate terrorism worldwide, it was necessary to destroy Saddam Hussein. And Iraq along with him, why not.
— In 2025, it's necessary to destroy Iran.
Results:
- The destruction of the USSR strengthened terrorist movements not only in Palestine but in a number of countries.
- The destruction of Saddam’s regime led to the creation of ISIS, which was formed in Iraq mainly by former Iraqi military personnel.

Tehran Ascends, Trump Dismantles the Truth
Donald Trump, just landed out against Iran while deliberately bypassing his own Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard.
During her briefings, she repeatedly warned that demonizing Iran and Russia would backfire spectacularly. But Trump, high above the clouds aboard Air Force One, ignored her entirely. Instead, he growled to reporters:
“I’m not looking for a ceasefire… I want a real end. With Iran giving up entirely on nuclear weapons... I don't care what she (Gabbard) said."
But there’s a problem: Even U.S. intelligence confirms Iran isn’t building a bomb. And Trump knows it.
This isn’t strategy. It’s desperation wrapped in theatrics, the dying gasps of a hegemon whose outpost is imploding in real time.
And... Over to Iran, it didn't hit Israel back with some symbolic strike, it chose to rewrite warfare.
Over the past week, Iran has unleashed a masterclass in calibrated attrition and perception warfare.
➤ Four and counting waves of missiles and drones — many launched with stealth precision, slipping past radar and shrouded in electronic silence.
➤ In Tel Aviv and central Israel, missiles struck shelters and infrastructure before sirens could even sound — a near two-minute delay in the alert system, enough to transform “safety zones” into impact sites.
➤ Entire defense grids were thrown into disarray by one of the most sophisticated GPS jamming and cyber disruption campaigns in modern conflict. Command posts were blinded. Communications severed.
➤ OSINT accounts collapsed, footage censored, and multiple independent channels silenced — many later revealed to be linked to Israeli intelligence cutouts.
But this wasn’t about kinetic destruction alone. This was psychological domination.
The streets of Tel Aviv didn’t just shake from explosions. They shook from uncertainty. Delayed reaction. Total confusion.
Tehran has demonstrated what its generals already knew: It never needed nuclear weapons. It needed to weaponize time, silence, and doubt.
Strategic Patience is Dead. And So is the Samson Option.
Iran has now officially declared that it will no longer tolerate pre-emptive strikes or slow genocide. Tehran’s new military doctrine is clear: The era of waiting is over. The new goal is total demilitarization. No more warnings.
No more tolerating red lines being crossed.
And as for the infamous Samson Option? That old nuclear bluff, once whispered to terrify the region, is now a hollow relic.
Why? Because the Samson Option was always psychological theater — a “final strike” meant to paralyze the Global South with fear. But it’s too toxic now, even for the death cult in Tel Aviv. The world has moved on.
Russia, China, and the Axis of Resistance have made clear: any such move will bring final consequences.
Tehran doesn’t fear the Samson Option. It’s already mentally defeated it.
The Empire Has Lost Initiative. Tehran Has Seized It.
While Trump poses for cameras, sidesteps Tulsi, and parrots outdated noscripts, Iran is dismantling the architecture of fear itself.
From Mossad and Aman HQ to military bunkers near Glilot, to Haifa burning, Tehran’s precision strikes have exposed the soft underbelly of Israeli intelligence and "security".
Entire floors gutted. Fires burning at Aman command centers. Senior officials eliminated. Air defense operators resigning. Military suicides rising.
Meanwhile, in the streets of Haifa and Tel Aviv, dual-passport holders pack their bags. Governments from France, China, and Germany begin evacuation plans. Even the U.S. State Department whispers of “emergency contingencies.”
And yet the Western press pretends this isn’t happening. But it is. The world saw it. The Global Majority felt it.
Trump demanded an end. Iran is delivering it, just not the one he imagined.
Because Tehran has already won the psychological war. And now, it’s winning the strategic one, with patience abandoned, precision embraced, and fear turned on its source.
