Netanyahu engineered the current crisis over Iran’s nuclear program.

It began with Netanyahu's pressure on the first Trump administration to walk away from the JCPOA - the Tehran nuclear deal agreed in 2015 - which was Trump's "biggest mistake".

Netanyahu was pursuing a much bigger agenda than just Iran: building more settlements, preventing a Palestinian state, & annexation.

Trump’s War on Iran: Symptom of Unchecked US Military Power

"Virtually everyone killed by the U.S. military during the 'war on terror' has been a person of color."

"The US is the world’s preeminent warfare state, by dubious virtue of being not only the most militarily powerful by far...

... "but also by being willing to wantonly use that might to attack so many countries so often & with such unrelenting violence."

Report: "Israel pushes for war"

Some in Israel "would like to cut their losses & walk away," says fmr negotiator Daniel Levy.

But Netanyahu & most of the mainstream "want to double down & use all that US hardware... to seriously degrade Iran.”

“This stops when the US says it stops,” Levy says. As Trump said of Netanyahu after their Tuesday call, he’ll “do whatever I want him to".

Analysis: "No, China Isn’t Winning the Iran War. The U.S. Is Just Losing"

"D.C. fixates on China because it’s easier than addressing the real causes of American decline."

"Fighting Iran didn’t undermine 'readiness' against China. It revealed how unprepared the U.S. already was."

"Yes, Beijing is supporting Iran – & almost every country Iran is fighting."

Why Trump’s summit with Xi didn’t move the ball on Iran.

"Washington is in a strategic bind of its own making. A ceasefire without an agreement doesn't resolve anything for the US."

The US doesn't have the resources to achieve the initial objectives. And it can't resolve the issues resulting from the war, particularly Iranian control of the Strait of Hormuz.

Interview: The current Iran talks have a very small chance of success, says former US negotiator Rob Malley:

"Trump measures success by counting how many Iranian leaders the US & Israel have killed or how many boats or missile launchers have been destroyed".

But he’s looking at the wrong metric. Iran is prepared to absorb the damage & stand up to US bullying.

Unfortunately, the talks depend on Trump's mindset.

"It swells the profits of the war industry... alienates our allies & erodes the global power & prestige of the US".

The winners in this war are the people who placed $920m in crude-oil shorts just 70 mins before news broke of a new 14-point proposal, which stirred false hope.

Axios's Barak Ravid "is the main dump for leaks from Witkoff, Kushner & Trump, who are cashing in on the war".

Trump uses Ravid to manipulate markets, making $2.8b in insider trading since the war began.
