Within two weeks Israel could be out of missiles and forced to sue for peace.\u00a0 But that time is unlikely to come. Israel\u2019s plight and Israel\u2019s control over the US government will bring Trump in to save Israel from humiliating defeat.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, Iran is on the list of Muslim countries to be destroyed by the US for Israel.\u00a0 Here is 4-star general Wesley Clark, former commander of NATO on TV explaining that on 20th September 2001 he was informed by a general in the Pentagon that the US had decided to take out 7 Muslim countries in 5 years. It has taken longer, but 5 of those countries have been destroyed. \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Eo6u9DpASp8\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Eo6u9DpASp8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Norman Podhoretz, editor of <em>Commentary<\/em> had called for this action, and it became the essential component of the neoconservatives\u2019 policy. We watched it, if we paid attention, unfold in the \u201cDubya,\u201d Obama, Biden, and Trump regimes.<\/p>\n<p>Iran\u2019s parliament has voted to close the Strait of Hormuz except for oil delivery to China.\u00a0 The final approval has to come from the Supreme Leader.\u00a0 Iran should simply wait and let Washington close the Strait, allegedly to punish Iran by blocking oil sales, but really to punish China by denying China its oil supply. Iran should let Trump, who has sold out MEGA-America, and the American Establishment execute themselves.<\/p>\n<p>If the Strait is closed, what would be the price of gasoline in the United States?\u00a0 Could it be $8 a gallon?\u00a0 Or would the Kremlin rush oil to the US to save Americans from the consequences of their own policy? The Kremlin often seems more concerned to rescue its enemies than to stand by its allies and to protect Russia.<\/p>\n<p>Considering the years of success of American and Israeli propaganda against Iran and the abandonment of Iran by Russia and China, Trump and Israel have a green light for advancing the cause of Greater Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Sooner or later reality will penetrate the consciousness of the Russia and Chinese leaders, but it will be too late to prevent the war that their stupidity guaranteed.<\/p>\n<p>Unless Iran, Russia, and China surrender, they will have to fight.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"zgMt4F3jn0\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paulcraigroberts.org\/pages\/donate\/\">Donate<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Donate&#8221; &#8212; PaulCraigRoberts.org\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paulcraigroberts.org\/pages\/donate\/embed\/#?secret=vmR7NXCtFS#?secret=zgMt4F3jn0\" data-secret=\"zgMt4F3jn0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paulcraigroberts.org\/2025\/06\/23\/world-war-is-on-the-horizon\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Considering the years of success of American and Israeli propaganda against Iran and the abandonment of Iran by Russia and China, Trump and Israel have a green light for advancing the cause of Greater Israel.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":131,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[61,58],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-311020","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-Commentary","category-Current_Affairs"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311020","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/131"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=311020"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311020\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":311021,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311020\/revisions\/311021"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=311020"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=311020"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=311020"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
