🚨Could Iran shut down the Strait of Hormuz if the US🇺🇸 and Israel attack?

‘What we worry about in the Middle East is the wider conflict or the reignition of the war between Israel and Iran, which would bring into question the role of the Strait of Hormuz, through which one third of all gas and one third of all oil used in the world goes through.

So if there would be a major crisis or war between Israel and Iran, the Strait of Hormuz could be closed, and we would have an energy crisis of epic proportions.

If push would come to shove, I’m sure they would do it. It would hurt them also. But if the very existence of Iranian leadership, or Iran as a state, would come into question, I’m sure they would do it.

But I think that President Trump does not want to go there. So there is a backstop here, I think, in the US.’

Axios reports Donald Trump’s armada, sent for an imminent war on Iran now includes 2 aircraft carriers, 12 warships, hundreds of fighter jets, and multiple air defense systems.

More than 150 US military cargo flights have moved weapons systems and ammunition to the Middle East.

Vote red, vote blue, Make America Great Again, I’m With Her, it’s all the same CGI politics. At the end of all the partisan rhetoric, pantomime culture wars; both parties and every President works to strengthen Washington’s oppressive imperial boot on the rest of the world.

Both parties are servants of the powerful military-industrial complex, which seeks wars of destruction to increase their profits. Both parties are the servants of the disaster capitalists that reap the spoils of war…

Meanwhile, the American people get nothing. They shoulder the cost of war through taxes, and the tragedy of losing their loved ones as they die in foreign wars.

The corporation, the elite class, reap the profits. It’s a disaster for the US population, it’s a profit bonanza for the elites.

More than ever, the upcoming war on Iran shows that the state in the US is nothing but a managerial organisation for the elite class; and their collective interest is to keep profiteering off of US imperialism, while giving you leftover crumbs from the table to prevent mass unrest.

🚨Col. Lawrence Wilkerson: WORLD WAR 3 HAS ALREADY BEGUN, Israel is dragging the US into a war against Iran that it can’t win

‘Bibi Netanyahu is not just the face of Israel, he is Israel right now. And wherever Bibi Netanyahu wants to go, he’s going to go, and the United States is going to follow, however reluctantly. And I think we will follow reluctantly with war. And that’s the only way that Netanyahu is going to get out of it if he does.

But what he’s going to do in the process is drag the United States into a war that it can’t win either. So thank you very much.

We’re in World War Three. Tack that on to what’s happening in the Arctic, what’s happening in the Balkans, or the Baltic Sea, what’s happening in Kaliningrad, perhaps what’s happening in Ukraine and around Ukraine, what’s happening in other places between Ukraine and the Caucasus.

And below the Caucasus, you got the World War already going. You’ve got several theatres already going, and all it needs to do is merge, and it will eventually, and we’re going to have a damn fine war.’

🚨ALASTAIR CROOKE: IRAN SHOWED IT CAN STRIKE ISRAEL AS DESIRED

‘Iran had to demonstrate that actually, Israel’s air defence systems are not very effective, and they’re quite capable of landing ballistic missiles, as desired, on target, in Israel, at very short notice.’

The calculation in Washington and Tel Aviv now seems to be that an apocalyptic war on Iran, and the subsequent severe retaliation from Iran, is worth it if Iran is left annihilated like Iraq, Libya, Syria, and many others.

Why is Trump going to war with Iran?

‘I have already spoken to three US Presidents…when a person is elected, they may have some ideas. Then people with briefcases arrive, wearing dark suits. These people start explaining how things are done and instantly everything changes.’

-Vladimir Putin

Trump campaigned against disastrous, endless wars abroad…and instead is becoming the second coming of George W. Bush. Why?

Because ultimately, the permanent imperial state is what makes the decisions in the US, not the red/blue figureheads elected in the pantomime grand spectacle of US politics.

Red or blue, no matter who, the wars planned decades ago will proceed, for the profits of US corporations.

🚨🇬🇧PRINCE ANDREW ARRESTED IN THE UK

Former Israeli Intelligence Officer Ari Ben-Menashe: ‘Prince Andrew was Jeffrey Epstein’s and Israel’s USEFUL IDIOT!’

‘Andrew was the son of the Queen. So when he would invite these rich people to come to play golf with them, or have parties with them, or so on, they would all come running, because he was the son of the Queen.

I called him the useful idiot for Epstein and the Israelis. He was a very useful idiot that brought all these people in to meet Epstein.’

🚨WSJ: Trump has briefed on military options designed to maximise damage to Iran’s regime, including ‘killing scores of political and military leaders, with the goal of overthrowing the government.’

We’re back to the days of Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, and Feith.

The MAGA campaign rallies where Trump railed against regime change wars will be remembered in history as lies and pantomime politics if Trump goes ahead with this war for Israel.

Why is the US🇺🇸 going to war with Iran?

It’s because all of the US’ other methods to gain access to and control the resources of Iran have failed. Now the corporate empire will launch a barbaric war to steal Iran’s resources.

‘Peace in the Middle East is not possible if Iran has nuclear weapons.’

-Donald Trump

But his administration told us ‘Iran’s nuclear facilities have been obliterated—and suggestions otherwise are fake news.’

They aren’t even bothering with convincing propaganda for this coming apocalyptic war for Israel like they did in 2003 for Iraq, just openly comical and easily debunked narratives because the military-industrial complex and Israel lobby have become so powerful that they don’t even need to convince the US population anymore.

‘Peace in the Middle East is not possible if Iran has nuclear weapons.’ -Donald Trump But his administration told us ‘Iran’s nuclear facilities have been obliterated—and suggestions otherwise are fake news.’ They aren’t even bothering with convincing propaganda…
In a surprising turn of events, UK🇬🇧 Prime Minister and charisma vacuum Sir Keir Starmer has reportedly BLOCKED the US🇺🇸 from using RAF bases for a war on Iran...

Sir Keir Starmer may have suddenly grown a backbone and realised getting into another illegal, disastrous US war is against the so-called 'national interest' he endlessly talks about...

But given the history of the US-UK 'special relationship', which is effectively a master-servant relationship, Washington will privately threaten the UK and put it through public humiliation rituals until the UK is forced to cooperate anyway.

Some words of advice for Sir Keir Starmer: being a vassal of Washington is not in the UK's national interest, and the endless disasters that the UK has uncritically participated in simply because Washington demanded British participation, have only made the UK more despised around the world.

It's in Britain's interest to publicly oppose an apocalyptic war on Iran that will eclipse the disaster of the Iraq War in 2003. So far, the US and UK have brought nothing but war and destruction to this region.

If Sir Keir Starmer has truly grown a backbone, he would use his voice to be on the record against this looming disaster, instead of sitting on the sidelines as Washington's quiet secretary, cowering in fear over the consequences of criticising the master.

The GCC, the wider Middle East, and the majority of nations are alarmed by the prospect of this war. If Sir Keir Starmer doesn't publicly oppose this war, most of the world will view the UK as nothing but a useless satrapy that can do nothing but publicly voice 'concerns' and 'monitoring the situation'.

If Sir Keir Starmer is forced to U-Turn (his speciality) and allows the US to once again flagrantly violate international law, or goes even further to show his loyalty by participating in the war, then he will be an even more hopeless, unpopular, and failed Prime Minister than he already is.

‘Should Israel be expected to even pay one penny to rebuild Gaza?’

US Amb. to Israel Mike Huckabee: ‘Absolutely not. There ought to be reparations to Israel.’

They will commit a genocide against you, and even expect you to pay for the genocide they carried out.

The US without its liberal mask is this; colonial barbarism.

Throwback, Trump’s Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee:

“There is no such thing as the West Bank, I speak of Judea and Samaria. There is no occupation, it is occupied by the people who have had a rightful deed to the place for 3500 years.”

There is no ‘rules-based order’ or ‘international law’ because the US🇺🇸 tore it apart decades ago.

Any leaders representing an oppressed people pointing to international law, hoping it will lead to something, is an exercise in futility.

The only difference now is the US commits the same barbaric actions, but has abandoned the liberal rhetorical mask.

Reporter: ‘Are you considering a limited military strike if Iran doesn't make a deal?’

Trump: ‘The most I can say, I am considering it.’

Continually changing terms for negotiations, incoherent diplomacy, as the US moves more military hardware into the region than for the Iraq War in 2003…

Are these ‘negotiations’ a facade for the US to prepare for the unleashing of an apocalyptic war?

Donald Trump’s looming war on Iran is exactly what Jeffrey Epstein wanted in 2013.

For all the performative disgust at Jeffrey Epstein, the US elite class (Epstein class) all want the same thing; unrestrained US imperialism.
