Just as my new AFP article was going to press, Donald Trump hysterically denied that Israel \u201ctalked him into war with Iran.\u201d <\/a>Right, Don. They didn\u2019t talk you into it. They ordered you to do it. -KB<\/em><\/p>\n

By Kevin Barrett<\/a>, for American Free Press<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Shortly after assuming office in 1961, then-president John F. Kennedy approved a US invasion of Cuba. The subsequent Bay of Pigs debacle, during which almost all of the US forces involved were killed or captured, is still considered one of the worst-ever American military defeats.<\/p>\n

Following the disaster, Kennedy ordered the construction of the White House Situation Room, a 5,000-square-foot secure, 24\/7 intelligence and communications complex in the West Wing basement. Dedicated to crisis management and high-level national security meetings, it allows the president to securely monitor events, communicate with world leaders, and command U.S. forces worldwide.<\/p>\n

On February 11, 2026, at 11 a.m., President Donald J. Trump summoned his top advisors to the Situation Room. That meeting resulted in the ill-fated decision to attack Iran.<\/p>\n

But the decision was not driven by Trump, nor by any of his American advisors. According to the New York Times<\/a> <\/em>account, based on insider sources who were present, the boss in the White House situation room that day was none other than Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Trump sat down, but not in his usual position at the head of the room\u2019s mahogany conference table. Instead, the president took a seat on one side, facing the large screens mounted along the wall. Mr. Netanyahu sat on the other side, directly opposite the president. Appearing on the screen behind the prime minister was David Barnea, the director of Mossad, Israel\u2019s foreign intelligence agency, as well as Israeli military officials. Arrayed visually behind Mr. Netanyahu, they created the image of a wartime leader surrounded by his team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Netanyahu delivered a hard-sell pitch demanding that the US attack Iran. He claimed, absurdly, that Iranians would love having the US attack them. Even more bizarrely, Netanyahu insisted that the son of Iran\u2019s dethroned US-puppet Shah\u2014who in reality is despised by virtually all Iranians\u2014would be acclaimed as Iran\u2019s new, US-backed, Israel-friendly leader.<\/p>\n

Netanyahu\u2019s sales talk was wildly divorced from reality. But Trump knows little about Iran, and what little he knows is wrong, because it comes from Netanyahu. Indeed, Trump decided to run for president in 2016 primarily because Netanyahu\u2019s billionaire friends incited him against Obama\u2019s nuclear agreement with Iran, promising lavish funding in return for embracing Israel\u2019s Iranophobia.<\/p>\n

On February 11, 2026, in the Situation Room, Trump swallowed Netanyahu\u2019s nonsense hook, line, and sinker. The result\u2014an immoral, unwinnable, economically and strategically disastrous US war on Iran\u2014may go down in history as the worst decision ever made by a US president\u2026except that it wasn\u2019t really made by a US president, but by an Israeli Prime Minister.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The White House Situation Room isn\u2019t the only American national security institution dominated by Israel. The Israelis also apparently have free run at the Pentagon. Tucker Carlson<\/a>, who has high-level sources in the Trump Administration, told economist Jeffrey Sachs that during the June 2025 12-day war on Iran, \u201cAsk anyone who worked at the Pentagon. They enraged American Pentagon staff by barging into meetings, giving orders, making demands, and no one did anything about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is extraordinary that a hostile foreign regime that has repeatedly attacked the United States (notably in the 1954 Lavon Affair<\/a> and 1967 assault on the USS Liberty<\/a>) and is suspected of assassinating a long list of American leaders, including the Kennedys<\/a> and Charlie Kirk<\/a>\u2014and is believed by a majority of Republican congressional staffers to have been behind 9\/11 according to a New Yorker<\/a><\/em> source\u2014can basically walk in and take over America\u2019s national security apparatus. How long have the Israelis enjoyed such privileges?<\/p>\n

According to Col. Lawrence Wilkerson<\/a>, formerly Colin Powell\u2019s right-hand man, the Israeli Mossad took over the Pentagon after the 9\/11\/2001 attacks on New York and Washington. Wilkerson described the situation after 9\/11:<\/p>\n

\u201cI watched Mossad take over the Pentagon in 2002. The Pentagon was infiltrated by Mossad. They did not need any identification to get through the river entrance to the building. They went upstairs to Douglas Feith, the Undersecretary of Defense for Policy, the third most powerful man in the Defense Department. Occasionally they went to the second most powerful man, Paul Wolfowitz, the Deputy Secretary of Defense, and they had run of the Pentagon. Donald Rumsfeld, the Secretary of Defence, said to my boss one time \u2018Hell, I don\u2019t run my building, Mossad does!\u2019 And it\u2019s unquestionable that the Epstein business was\u2026\u2018heavily infuenced\u2019\u2014let me put it that way\u2014by Mossad.\u201d<\/p>\n

Does \u201cthe Epstein business\u201d explain Netanyahu\u2019s privileged access to the Situation Room\u2014and his usurpation of war-making powers that the Constitution delegates to Congress? Have the Israelis blackmailed so many American leaders that they virtually own the Pentagon?<\/p>\n

It seems that Washington, DC and Arlington, Virginia are Israeli-occupied territory.<\/p>\n
