Last month I warned in these pages that Donald Trump faces a stark choice regarding Iran: \u201cNuclear Deal II or World War III<\/a>.\u201d I pointed out that Iran is open to a deal, but that it won\u2019t be much different from the JCPOA that Trump unilaterally canceled during his first term.<\/p>\n

Failure to reach a nuclear agreement would make a catastrophic US war on Iran almost inevitable\u2014not because Iran would quickly build nuclear weapons or threaten anyone, but because failed negotiations would embolden Israel to attack Iran, knowing that it would almost certainly be able to draw the US into the war. And if that happened, Iran could climb the escalation ladder by killing thousands of US soldiers, sinking US ships, and most importantly, destroying enough of the region\u2019s oil production to completely collapse the global economy.<\/p>\n

Iran doesn\u2019t want nuclear weapons, which are banned by a decades-old religious edict renewed by the current Supreme Leader. But a growing minority of Iranians want to rethink that edict. They believe that Iran\u2019s lack of nuclear weapons has allowed nuclear-armed Israel to repeatedly attack it, murder its scientists, perhaps even (deniably) assassinate its president, and commit genocide and other crimes with impunity. So even though nukes are ungodly, the minority claims, there is a \u201cnecessity doctrine\u201d that allows people to do things that are ordinarily forbidden if survival requires it.<\/p>\n

Israel, for its part, wants to completely dominate the region. Zionist extremists, who now represent about half the Israeli public, are committed to building \u201cGreater Israel.\u201d That would require genocide at industrial scale to eliminate regional populations so Yahweh\u2019s supposedly chosen people can steal all the land and resources between the Nile and Euphrates rivers.<\/p>\n

An ever-expanding Israel that continues invading and occupying its neighbors, stealing their land and resources, and murdering and expelling their populations cannot dream of doing such things unless it is the only nuclear weapons state in the region. So the possibility that one day Iran might \u201cgo nuclear\u201d worries Israeli hardliners. If Iran continues developing its civilian nuclear program, Israelis believe, someday its leaders might change their minds and decide to build nuclear weapons. The Israelis apparently don\u2019t understand that it is their own reckless criminality that is driving more and more Iranians toward considering the necessity of developing nukes for self-defense.<\/p>\n

A Trump nuclear agreement would, like its predecessor, keep Iran in a position of needing about a year of \u201cbreakout time\u201d to build nuclear weapons\u2014as opposed to months or even weeks without a deal. But that\u2019s not good enough for Netanyahu and other Israeli hardliners. They want to lay waste to Iran, even if it requires blowing up the global economy and with it Trump\u2019s presidency.<\/p>\n

A group of \u201cSenators from Israel\u201d led by Tom Cotton (R-IS) and Lindsey Graham (R-IS) is trying to torpedo Trump\u2019s nuclear negotiations with Iran. The treasonous Israeli-owned senators are pushing a resolution demanding that Iran completely dismantle its civilian nuclear program. That\u2019s a non-starter. International law, beginning with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) specifically allows Iran (like other non-nuclear-weapons states including Japan, Brazil, and the Netherlands) to enrich up to 5%. Under the 2015 JCPOA Iran agreed to limit enrichment to 3.67%, a significant concession representing roughly the minimum enrichment required for nuclear power and research.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

The \u201cSenators from Israel\u201d also want Iran to abandon its ballistic missiles\u2014the core of its defense strategy\u2014and stop cooperating with regional allies in Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen, and above all, Palestine. Those demands, too, are non-starters. Their only purpose is to destroy the possibility of any agreement, thereby opening the door for Israel to drag the US into a disastrous war on Iran.<\/p>\n

Will the Trump Administration break free from the malign influence of the Israel lobby and its extremist leader, Benzion Mileikowsky, that Polish-born internationally-wanted criminal who operates under the alias \u201cBenjamin Netanyahu\u201d? Will Trump take the advice I offered last month and \u201cterminate Bibi\u2019s command\u2026with extreme prejudice if necessary?\u201d<\/p>\n

There are encouraging signs that Trump may jettison Netanyahu in order to avoid the war-on-Iran-for-Israel trap that Bibi has set for him. By striking a separate peace with Yemen\u2019s Houthis that allows them to continue targeting Israel, then triumphally visiting the region\u2019s Arab capitals (including Hamas-funding Qatar) Trump has done everything but order Israel to stop its genocide in Gaza.<\/p>\n

Trump needs to give that order ASAP\u2014not only for humanitarian reasons, but also to create a fait accompli that will help bring down Netanyahu and forestall the Israeli hardliners\u2019 efforts to trick the US into yet another disastrous war for Israel. If the Trump Administration does not act decisively, Netanyahu\u2019s bought-and-paid-for \u201cUS\u201d senators will keep pushing Bibi\u2019s war plans, with potentially catastrophic results.<\/p>\n
