Mike Whitney – The Unz Review June 22, 2025
Everybody cut the bullshit for once. Trump wasn’t “dragged into” this war. He and Netanyahu knowingly manufactured it, through the fake negotiations of his fake diplomat Witkoff, engineered to give Israel the pretext for launching the war, which he officially joined 9 days later. Michael Tracey, political analyst, X
“Humanity has come too far as a species to allow a lawless bully to take us back to the law of the jungle.” Sayed Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s Foreign Minister, 2 minutes https://twitter.com/i/status/1936278121818571172
First, let’s state the obvious: Trump’s pinprick attacks on Iran inflicted “no substantial damage” to their nuclear facilities. The bunker busting bombs did apparently strike near the entry of two of the facilities, but those sites were already locked down (evacuated?) in preparation for the bombing. The government announced on Sunday that all the enriched uranium at those sites had already been taken to safe locations “several days before”, in fact, the government had already published satellite photos of the closed sites 48 hours before the attacks. So, while the attacks have significant symbolic value (and could serve as a pretext to WW3), the damage was minimal and will not significantly set back Iran’s nuclear program. This is from military analyst, Will Schryver:
So … not only has the fake “bunker buster” attack failed to “obliterate” Iran’s nuclear facilities, but it will likely result in Iran withdrawing from the non-proliferation treaty, and formally joining the nuclear club.
Utterly genius move by the imbeciles in Washington
So, why did Trump give the green light for such a risky operation when nearly all the experts warned that the 30,000-pound GBU-57 “bunker busting” bomb was not going to work? (See: “The bunker buster bombs will have a very low rate of success. There is no question about it.” Professor Ted Postol, weapons expert
It’s clear to many people that Donald Trump is controlled by powerful Zionist billionaires and the influential Jewish lobby that has spread its tentacles across the political landscape and now dictates US foreign policy. The attack on Iran shows conclusively that Trump is not acting in the interests of the United States whose troops and military bases have been put in harm’s way. No, this bloody operation is designed to advance the Israeli agenda by eliminating Israel’s main rival in the region. America gains nothing from a war with Iran and Trump knows it.
So far, Iran has refrained from attacking US facilities in the region but has intensified its attacks on Israel which it regards as the ‘head of the snake.’ Early Sunday, Iran unleashed its 20thwave of retaliatory missile strikes called Operation True Promise 3 which destroyed a biological research center, alternative command and control centers, and large parts of Ben Gurion Airport. Iran also caused vast destruction in a residential neighborhood in Tel Aviv using its latest hypersonic ballistic missile which struck its target without triggering sirens in Israel. (There are also unconfirmed reports that Iran struck Israel’s Soreq Nuclear Center, although the extent of the damage is not yet known. Also, Iran destroyed the top-secret biological and chemical weapons center in Ness Ziona, 20 km from Tel Aviv.)
No celebrations in Tel Aviv
Experts conclude that Iran is prepared to endure a war of attrition with Israel for at least six months. It’s stockpile of ballistic missiles is not only deep but surpasses the current capability of the United States or Israel combined. In short, Iran is a hypersonic missile superpower with an offensive capability that is downplayed by analysts in the West, but which exceeds any similar projectiles in either Washington’s or Tel Aviv’s arsenal. Iran’s daily precision attacks on military, intelligence and critical infrastructure targets in Israeli cities attests to the impressive strides Iran has made in missile technology and proves beyond a doubt that Israel’s vaunted air-defense systems are simply no match for Iran’s state-of-the-art hypersonic missiles. We expect that it will take no more than a couple weeks for Israeli leaders to realize that they have “bitten off more than they can chew” and that –even with US support– Israel’s primary symbols of strength and resilience are being systematically reduced to rubble by an enemy that is far more prepared and capable than themselves. This is from a post by Dmitry Medvedev, former president of Russia, who explains “what the Americans accomplished with their nighttime strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran?”
- Critical infrastructure of the nuclear fuel cycle appears to have been unaffected or sustained only minor damage.
- The enrichment of nuclear material — and, now we can say it outright, the future production of nuclear weapons — will continue.
- A number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads.
- Israel is under attack, explosions are rocking the country, and people are panicking.
- The US is now entangled in a new conflict, with prospects of a ground operation looming on the horizon.
- Iran’s political regime has survived — and in all likelihood, has come out even stronger.
- The people are rallying around the country’s spiritual leadership, including those who were previously indifferent or opposed to it.
- Donald Trump, once hailed as ‘president of peace,’ has now pushed the US into another war.
- The vast majority of countries around the world oppose the actions of Israel and the United States.
- At this rate, Trump can forget about the Nobel Peace Prize — not even with how rigged it has become.
What a way to kick things off, Mr. President. Congratulations! Dmitry Medvedev@MedvedevRussiaE https://twitter.com/MedvedevRussiaE/status/1936725544017567860
This is a fairly evenhanded analysis of Saturday’s attack: Nothing was gained and much was lost. At the same time, the great majority of the world’s population is now convinced that the threat of US and Israeli aggression is too great to ignore and must be countered by any means necessary. The surprise attack on Iran during nuclear negotiations merely underscores the need for a more forceful approach to Washington and Tel Aviv’s relentless interventions. We should be grateful that Iran is spearheading the move to defend international law and demonstrate its courageous opposition to US-Israel’s endless wars of choice.
As for Iran, well, according to an article at Press TV:
In a decisive response to the US aggression against Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities, the Iranian parliament has voted to close the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz. A senior Iranian lawmaker, Esmaeil Kowsari, said on Sunday that the Majlis (Iranian parliament) has agreed to close the key artery for global energy trade in response to the American aggression and the silence of the international community.
Kowsari, a member of the parliament’s committee on national security and foreign policy, said lawmakers have reached a consensus on the closure of the strait, though the final decision rests with Iran’s Supreme National Security Council.
“The parliament has come to the conclusion that it should close the Hormuz Strait, but the final decision lies with the Supreme National Security Council,” Kowsari stated. Press TV
So, along his other triumphs in Ukraine, Yemen and Syria, the blustery Trump can now boast that his misguided air strikes on Iran triggered a blockade of the world’s most critical energy chokepoint sending equities markets into freefall while the global economy ground to a standstill. Is there no end to this man’s achievements?
Personally, I have always thought that Trump was going to lead the attack on Iran. war on Iran. Here’s a clip from an article I wrote on November 6, 2024, shortly after Trump was elected:
Why was Trump allowed to win the election?…..
As it happens, the deep state –which unconditionally supports the state of Israel– needs Donald Trump. They need a charismatic, populist firebrand to boost recruitment and spearhead the rush to war. Harris can’t do that. Harris had trouble attracting even a hundred supporters to her rallies.
No, this is a task for a leader that is trusted, admired and loved. This is a task for a man who has credibility with the red state young men who traditionally fight our wars. This is a job for Trump…. No president has ever demonstrated more unwavering loyalty to Israel than Donald J Trump
It’s clear that Trump is regarded by many Israelis as an American messiah who will deploy his legions of young men to the Middle East to smite Israel’s enemies and help the Jewish state emerge as the regional hegemon. That’s the hope at least; the reality may be far different. But the point we’re trying to make is that Trump’s utility to Israel may have been a critical factor in the deep state’s approach to the 2024 presidential elections. Of course, that is just my own conspiratorial point of view. Trump’s Triumph and the Firing of Yoav Gallant, Unz Review
Check out this 1-minute video of Trump boasting that billionaire Zionists dictate US foreign policy.
Trump to Israeli American Council:
“Miriam and Sheldon Adelson came to the White House just about more than anybody…” referring to $100m x 2 donor Miriam and her late husband, founder of Los Vegas Sands casinos.

Iran now finds itself embroiled in a fight to the death with two powerful adversaries that want to topple their government, erase their civilization and install a puppet regime that will follow their directives. Iran has no choice but to accept this challenge and lead the struggle against aggression, starvation, ethnic cleansing and genocide.
Iran stands on the side of humanity, decency and peace. We hope they prevail.
It all seems very performative…
Drumpf drops some big bombs for his jewe jackal owners no doubt signed by miriam adelson…the Iranians go large on unsocial media about producing nooks..it’s all aboot the nooks..remember medvedev and lavyrov and their red lines and nooks…how they were going to Satan lol bomb pirate rock…
and you had sports fans like jonesy baloney hereabouts that waxed lyrical..about how many should be used etc etc lol…
both sides now have narrative to spin out for muggle consumption..there’s enough pabulum to catch both sides..
and of course keep them engaged in the spectacle..
You really need to watch the reality puppet show..’Team America…world Police’… although it may be a bit grown up for most..
What is interesting is how all these CiA trolls in the not too alt media have fed them all central banker bullshit about these BRICS multipolar characters..which is evident horseshit..
you knew that when Brazil vetoed Venezuela with one vote..
lol..
The funny thing when I go to bed in last few days, I fall asleep with a huge grin on my face. Knowing people who call me Goyim or Infidel are killing each other. I hope Iran wastes the Kikes Tho and I have to add Tod Dem Juden.
Read some of the way…
There are two birds that need to be killed, but using one stone.
Running Iran into the dust, paves the way for a Greater Israel. It also weakens China, and Russia. They may have passed the bill to close the Strait of Hormuz, but the final decision still needs to be taken.
Apart from continuing attacks on Joolandia, and likely attacks on US forces in the region, the closing of the Strait of Hormuz is likely to be the key factor in starting a hot WW3, because Nazi economies will be crushed by the price of oil. This will be ten times worse than any lockdown.
I believe this is what the Nazis want, they want China to suffer a 30% oil shortfall.
This would’ve been so much easier if Putin had used tactical nukes on day 7 in UKraine, because the Nazis would have been instantly defeated before they’d got going, and it’s been Putin the Weak, who has allowed the Nazis to escalate.
If Putin had done the right thing two years ago, and nuked the UK, the world might of had a chanc. What we now have is the makings of WW3 in the Middle East and Asia, making Nazi Amerika more distant.
Nazi Amerika is now about to do to China, what they did to Japan, before Pearl Harbour, only this time, many have nukes. I keep saying it, Kim is desperate to nuke LA, or/& Chicago, and he has the missiles and nukes to do it.
This seriously stupid idea that Russia and China persue the UN Charter as some sort of protect shield, when the Nazis don’t give a stuff. The only thing the Nazis understand, is a nuke up their arse.
I note that the fake news appeares to be more on the ball than the boring alternative media. This is what happens when so many in the alternative media, take their orders from the Nazis.
How does Iran close the Strait of Hormuz?
And if they close it, does Iran also remove its own oil and gas from the market?
Perhaps they can enforce that only Iranian oil and gas can travel through it.
Anyway, Iran should not attack US interests around the place just yet. They would be inviting a lot of trouble. Just keep bombing Zionist Israel until Israel stops bombing Iran.
If Trump attacks again it will be obvious Israel is losing.
The other war Iran can be engaged in is exposing the crimes of the US, it’s a record the US can not defend.
Iran accepted Islam early on, so it had already accepted the destruction of its civilisation (no more art, science or philosophy)
Iran stand strong and fight back. Hopefully you will obliterate criminal drumpt, nutyahoo, bvir, stromich among other genocidal entities of israehell and usa.
Well it’s the same….same old song….but with a different meaning…..blah blah blah.
Hey mike shitney, everything you wrote turned out to be a lie.liar .now its time to appropriate the writings of the avant garde.those that own the truth,by their own volition.the group think and marginalisation within the truth non-movement notwithstanding.you did make a killing.in greenbacks and shekels.you have been reading along in the comments too.
Now you know why its called USrael.
Liar ,you know iran is a fake adversary.
This is correct –> “Trump wasn’t “dragged into” this war. He and Netanyahu knowingly manufactured it, through the fake negotiations of his fake diplomat Witkoff, engineered to give Israel the pretext for launching the war, which he officially joined 9 days later.”
Trump is a Rothschild agent working with Netanyahu, the leader of the Rotshcild state of Israhell.
Trump and Netanyahu are working together to fool the world. Trump is an actor, a liar, and has destroyed MAGA. MAGA was a ruse, Trump a demon from hell and Netanyahu the devil himself.
Everybody cut the bullshit for once. Trump wasn’t “dragged into” this war.

Ben Fulford says there are two Trumps. The real one is hissing in Mountain 🏔️🌄 Cheyenne and the fake one is the one the Jews are using to make wars for the joos.
Any opinion? 🧐🙏 Pls post comment
Thanks 🙏👍
Kike-smike! Terrorists-tooth fairies! It’s all about resources to back up our dollar. Trump has fingered Canada, Greenland for the same reasons. Iran is a hunk of rock floating on tempting pools of oil. Banzai!
good to see someone exposing these alt news frauds, leeches and grifters like whitney, kit knightly etc..
so british navy can seize iranian ships but not
able to prevent massinvaders to UK + Gibraltar .
The answer is quite simple, follow the money. These weapons are extremely expensive, adding to the US national debt paid by the American taxpayer. Similar to the war in Ukraine, where expensive munitions and military equipment were wasted in “no win battles”, the respective European, UK and US national debts are increased, paid for by their respective tax payers.
These are the gift that keeps on giving, the Ponzi Scheme of further loans, taken out to purchase replacement equipment and to train and equip new military personnel to replace the dead, wounded and equipment.
The fact of equipment dysfunction matters little, as long as expenses are driven up (reference US military equipment cost overruns), requiring further loans with continual interest on the never to be paid off principal. As long as the international money changing Pharisaic Khazarian Mafia (KM) gets their cut is all that matters.
The US president is a puppet, as well as the entire EU and UK leadership. ALL OF THEM act not in the best interests of their people. (Fidelita of Peru murdered the indigenous for peacefully protesting the foreign investors mining their precious minerals without benefit to the population.) The KM, Gog has captured nearly all world governments, the latest being Mexico (Claudia Sheinbaum), which the disappearance of children 11 years ago still goes unanswered. Argentina (Javier Milei-kowsky) has been captured, too.
These are play book words. The bottom line is to follow the money. It is all about greed and self-importance of the KM. Being Bolshevik murders, the lives of others mean nothing. Their goal is to capture all the Arab natural resources in their lands: the oil, gas, precious metals, valuable minerals, gold, and etc. and deny the rightful owners. This is why the British military on behalf of the Lord Balfour plan of 1917 broke the Turkish Ottoman Empire into multiple vassal states. Prior for centuries, they more or less lived in peace with each other. This model of destruction and death for the sake of profit is hinted at in:
https://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/?p=250301 Makow — Organized Jewry’s Business Model is Theft by tts-admin | Oct 10, 2024
Bolshevik psychopaths they are. They have no mercy even for their own, as one Israeli cheerleader found out, who previously mocked the suffering Palestinians on social media only to have her high rise apartment outer wall blown away and interior trashed. The KM built their MOSSAD headquarters next to a major hospital and in a residential area, turning their lesser Jews into sacrificial human shields.
Lately expressed on social media, the blind Christian Zionists are awaiting the unbiblical “rapture” where G-d will transport them to Heaven so the Jews can complete their (murderous) “Way of salvation” on earth with their restored Jewish kingdom and world hegemony. Follow the money.
Infidel cleric John Hagee is extremely wealthy, owning a 7,600 acre Texas ranch with many choice facilities, a hotel and a private airfield with 2 business class jets hangared, plus owns several residences. The late false predictor Hal Lindsey (1929-2024) in 2011 already divorced 3 women and was courting a 4th, had a wealth of $53 million US from his book sales (e.g., The Late Great Planet Earth and others).
Yet Christ said,
However neither have freely returned their wealth to help those in dire need. Hagee made many over 20 visits to Israel and met with its top leaders, paid millions to relocate Bolshevik Jews from Russia to Israel, but has yet used any to help the Palestinians. Are those the way of “true religion”?
Regarding being “unspotted from the world”, both have a documented history of divorce(s), a disqualification according to Titus 1:7-9. Thus, they are unqualified for their ministries.
G-d has not forgotten, He is original. Satan is a copycat, attempting to repeat the past, to restore the Tower of Babel that reaches into his “heaven” (Genesis 11:4) with remaking the now obsoleted Jewish 3rd temple, to be fittingly constructed by the grounds of the old Roman Fort Antonio, where his own continue to worship its wall. Even their red heifers are fake, created by human genetic engineering, not by an act of G-d.
According to:
Has G-d captured the hearts of possibly the Iranians, Turks and Houthis to be His ministers, to execute justice to the KM criminal enterprise called Israel? Time will tell, but when it happens, I surmise that a small nation the size of New Jersey may no longer exist, and it is possible that the head of the snake may be removed as well.
“Iran stands on the side of humanity, decency and peace. We hope they prevail.”
Once the rial drops in Whitney’s thick skull and he realizes that humanity includes even the drop outs of Humanity that call themselves “WE” and hope that decency and peace will prevail – than WE as a totally fucked up artificial species (with two legs and not to be confused with specie) might get somewhere.
“the red state young men who traditionally fight our wars” …. otherwise known as the dangerously stupid yokels. I live in one of those Southern “red states” and you should have heard the dumber than dog shit hicks in my office today who couldn’t tell shit from Shine-ola, let alone know the first f*cking thing about actual history or geopolitics, spouting off about how “those Eye-rainians have had it coming for a looooong time”. I didn’t hold my tongue, of course, and said, “You dumbf*cks do realize that Israel was behind 9/11, right?” Which was answered by slack-jawed blank stares.
Humanity is utterly doomed as long as Jewry is allowed to exist.
Trump says he “gave” Israel the Golan Heights; two Jews kept begging him for new things and they got that “without them even asking”, so it seems the US owns the whole world and can give your country to someone else if it wants. We saw already that someone took Britain off the British and gave it to every itinerant criminal in the world
Ah, Flor…Ben Fulford is an asylee in Russia. His continued civic status depends on him saying what he’s told say, when he’s told to say it. He’s as reliable as RT.
That world leaders have body doubles, there is no doubt.
That the super rich have luxury underground bunkers to escape to, is well known.
Make of it what you will but don’t let it confound you unnecessarily. Trickster spirits behave trickily. You shouldn’t expect otherwise from them.
I have a conspiracy theory for you, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is a western plant, a Rothschild agent. This one man is the supreme religious leader and issued a fatwa prohibiting Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. Iran could of developed nukes, like NK, but did not, because of this one actor. Ali Khamenei’s fatwa trumps all other Iran government laws. How convenient.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Khamenei%27s_fatwa_against_nuclear_weapons
Iran had a revolution and overthrew the Shah and the Mossad created Savak. Ruhollah Khomeini is brought in and made the “supreme leader”. Iran is in dire straights, having overthrown the Rothschild puppet Shah – Rothschild agent Ronald Reagan has Saddam attack Iran in a 10 year war. Yet even with the extreme threat of USA, UK, and Israel – Iran never develops the bomb.
Why in the hell not?
Ali Khamenei.
Note how his generals are taken out but never him. Note how Trump brags he knows where Ali Khamenei is hiding but doesn’t actually assassinate him. Why? Because Ali Khamenei is in on it. Now with all his rivals dead, Ali Khamenei is the dictator of Iran.
IOW the Rothschild plant is the supreme leader of Iran. Don’t be fooled by Netanyahu and Trump’s threats against him because all 3 are working together as Rothschild agents.
It is possible, but I think not. Iran has been under heavy scrutiny. It knows the West wants to bomb it back to the Stone Age. Israel is the only nuclear power in the region, looking for further excuse to attack for Greater Israel expansion, the Khazarian Mafia (KM)’s pet project.
Israel wasn’t created over any Biblical dictate, it was created to protect an oil spigot, the end of a 1,000 mile pipeline from Iraq to Port Haifa completed in 1933. Further expansion to form Greater Israel is to justify further capture of Iran’s natural resources. Greater Israel is not the Arab lands, it is about capturing all the natural resources of the entire world. (Follow the money.) Those who resist are dealt with immediately.
Thanks to John Hagee’s efforts to fund millions of dollars used to transport Bolshevik Jews from Russia to Israel, has allowed Russia to become more Christian-like by sending the troublemakers to Israel. Some “Goyim” (Gog’s word – Yiddish for cattle) are now making their “Aliyah” to Russia, to escape Gog’s Western depravity upon families and children, finding that Russian life is much better to raise children.
Yet Hagee mixes Bolshevism with his Christianity, even advising the West to attack Iran. His god is not the L-rd, it is Moloch. The KM has rewarded him nicely, as he now owns a 7,600 acre Texas ranch with choice facilities and a hotel, private airstrip with 2 corporate jets to fly him to Israel and beyond, and owns several luxury homes.
Hagee thinks the honorable Putin is Gog, along with 50 million US Christian Zionists. No, Gog is Netanyahu.
(Hagee is also an abomination. He richly supports secular Satanic anti-Christ Gog, but has spent none on visiting and supporting the destitute Palestinians, of which at least 40% are Christians.)
It would not surprise me that proud, arrogant, wicked Israel may soon decide to exercise its nuclear Sampson option (“By Way of Deception Thou Shalt Do War”). It will be then we may see Israel wiped off the face of the globe. And, it may very well be Russia that assists Iran to bring this about. To stop western retaliation, it would not surprise me that US and UK with its Commonwealth be dealt a blow with their military assets, so that it would be futile for them to respond.
Putting Bolshevik Christian Zionism aside, I believe we are here now:
7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 8 And shall go out to deceive* the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. 9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. Revelation 20:7-9 (KJV)
