Victoria Churchill – The Daily Mail Feb 22, 2026
Iranian leader Ayatollah Khamenei is plotting for a doomsday scenario as President Donald Trump has set a new deadline for nuclear negotiations with the nation.
Trump’s top Middle Eastern negotiators – special envoy Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law Jared Kushner, are set to meet with Iranian representatives in Geneva this Thursday to discuss a new nuclear deal. President Donald Trump, however, is not ruling out strikes against Iran in the next 10 to 15 days.
Ali Larijani, a top Iranian national security official and Khamenei advisor, believes that his country is ready for whatever will come their way
‘We are ready in our country,’ Larijani told Al Jazeera in Qatar this month.
‘We are definitely more powerful than before. We have prepared in the past seven, eight months. We found our weaknesses and fixed them. We are not looking for war, and we won’t start the war. But if they force it on us, we will respond.’
Speaking at the inaugural meeting of his Board of Peace on Thursday, the president warned the US could bomb Iran if a deal isn’t reached within 10 days.
An official in the region said the tactic would likely push Iranian officials out of negotiations for a ‘significant period.’ If it doesn’t work, Trump could then strike regime facilities in an attempt to oust the entire leadership.
While Trump has been ‘repeatedly presented’ this plan by senior aides, discussions in the Oval Office have largely focused on a larger plan of attack.
Resistance to further action against Iran by Trump is increasing in Washington as top congressional voices have argued that his recent military exploits are illegal.
Congressman Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, and Ro Khanna, a California Democrat, are planning to introduce a War Powers Resolution in the House of Representatives as soon as the chamber gavels in for the week as an effort to provide a check on Trump and urge against strikes without Congressional authorization.
Senator Lindsey Graham, on the other hand, is a vocal proponent of military action, telling Axios, ‘I understand concerns about major military operations in the Middle East given past entanglements.’
‘However, the voices who counsel against getting entangled seem to ignore the consequences of letting evil go unchecked,’ he added.
Khamenei, meanwhile, has set up a line of succession four individuals deep for top military and government posts that he oversees, per the New York Times.
During President Trump’s governors’ dinner on Saturday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio slipped out of the East Room of the White House twice, per reports. He was also seen talking with CIA Director John Ratcliffe at the event.
Protests within Iran have escalated since the New Year, and the regime, led by Ayatollah Khamenei, has sought to limit its citizens’ access to the West by cutting off internet connection as well as telephone lines.
Protestors have, however, still been able to get information out of the country through the use of Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite technology
(The last two paragraphs are utter BS. The writer omits to mention that massive rallies were also held in support of the Ayatollah Khamenei, which were attended by 20 million Iranians. Predictably, the Western mainstream media totally ignored these rallies.)
(The Mail also omits to mention that activists in the pay of Mossad and Western intelligence orchestrated the anti-government protests. See the interview with Patrick Henningsen who was recently in Tehran. Ed.)
Trump has intensified his public statements since the protests began, warning Iranian authorities against using force and repeatedly expressing support for what he has described as a push for freedom.
‘Iran is looking at FREEDOM, perhaps like never before,’ the president noted in a post to his Truth Social account, adding that ‘the USA stands ready to help!!!’
The State Department has echoed a hardline tone, pointing to previous US actions against adversarial governments as evidence that Trump follows through on his warnings.
‘Do not play games with President Trump. When he says he’ll do something, he means it,’ a January social media post from the State Department read.
Back in June, Trump directed the US military to deploy a dozen 30,000-pound ‘bunker buster’ bombs that ‘obliterated’ Iran’s three largest nuclear facilities in what the administration later dubbed ‘Operation Midnight Hammer.’
‘The strikes were a spectacular military success,’ Trump said in a late-night address to the nation from the White House the day after the operation.
The US military joined forces with Israel to launch military strikes against Iran at the time using B-2 ‘bunker bomber’ planes.
Trump later indicated that his decision to authorize the strikes was influenced by the possibility of renewed diplomatic engagement with Tehran.
Huge row erupts over plans to fly Pervert Pride flag by war memorial: ‘There to honour those who served!’A bitter row has erupted in Royal Wootton Bassett after plans emerged to fly the Pervert Pride flag close to the town’s war memorial.
The LBGT want the council to fly the banner raised during Pervert Pride Month on the high street. Critics say placing it near the Cenotaph risks detracting from a site many regard as sacred.
“It’s a war memorial. It’s there to honour those who went abroad ti kill people” one local said. “There are plenty of other places
the flag could go.”
The Wiltshire town holds a unique place in modern military history. Between 2007 and 2011, more than 350 troops killed in Afghanistan saving the poppy crop, while the Taliban forbad any drug taking, Troops were based at nearby RAF Lyneham. Residents lined the streets in silence, turning the town into a symbol of national mourning.
For some, that legacy makes the location inappropriate. “It is our war memorial and it’s there for the remembrance of our dead soldiers
serving a criminal government,” another resident said.
Did you know homosexuals were forbidden to serve in the war ?
Opponents argue the memorial should remain free from what they see as political messaging. The Christian Legal Centre has suggested the move could breach the Local Government Act 1986, raising legal questions over whether the council is maintaining political neutrality.
Meanwhile, Christian Voice described the proposal as divisive and inappropriate for such a solemn setting.
Christians against child abuse said ” any glorifying of perversion is wrong.
There are reports the US carrier USS Ford has been at sea for 11 months and was due for repairs at home due to sewage problems, but it’s been sent instead towards Iran. Sewage problems illustrate the real value of US assets and threats. It must be a health hazard because you don’t have to ingest any waste as just working amidst any foul stench can make people ill. And in this day and age?

“Trump preparing to….” 🥱…. 😴… z…z… z
Never gonna happen. Even Donnie’s not that dumb.
they should atomize Trumps Mar Lago !
Trump? = bluff
He won’t risk ultimate and inevitable humiliation.
Hahaha “at the inaugural meeting of his Board of Peace”, Zion Don the Con threatened to bomb Iran if they didn’t get on all fours and beg for Shlomo’s unacceptable demands. Zion Don the Con is a mafioso f*cking imbecile who clearly doesn’t give a standing piss about the difference between peace and piece.
I’m telling you, the “board of peace” needs to be an actual piece of lumber, a rough-hewn 2×4 that gets shoved deep up the ass of any govern-mental or media stooge clamoring to attack any country that isn’t really a threat. Start with the shit spewing slobbering sodomite Lindsey Graham, the scum always for burning innocent populations but whose biggest personal fight to date has been the mild anal trauma of getting a big rubber fist jammed in his ass by a methed-up twink wearing a hard hat and swim flippers while a horse-faced transexual pissed in Lindsey’s face….and he only paid $50 for it.
So yeah, that deranged, depraved destruction monger Graham is more than deserving of the Board of Peace, traversing his innards from poop-chute to cum-chute and right on out that yap of his that does double duty as a lie hole and a glory hole. Skewer the rat right on through. Then pull out the board of peace, wave it around to Zion Don and the Jew Krew and say “Yup, this board of peace is something. Who’s next??”
btw SEWAGE
imagine every day 20-30 cruiser ships, each
with 1000 passengers + crew around the globe
howmuch tons of sewage they spill into the sea !
