In war, truth is the first casualty\u00a0<\/em>\u2014Aeschylus,<\/a>\u00a05th<\/sup>\u00a0Century BC Playwright\/Father<\/a>\u00a0of the Greek Tragedy<\/p>\n On Wednesday May 6th<\/sup>\u00a0President\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a>\u00a0expressed optimism over his latest peace proposal that Iran is now evaluating. Trump stated from the Oval Office:<\/p>\n We\u2019ve had very good talks over the last 24 hours, and it\u2019s very possible that we\u2019ll make a deal.<\/em><\/p>\n Trump Secretary of State\u00a0Marco Rubio<\/a>\u00a0also said on Wednesday that the US-Israel joint Operation Epic Fury against Iran is over. Meanwhile, the more cautious Iran foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei explained to the media:<\/p>\n US plan and proposal are still under review<\/em>.<\/p>\n So, the world awaits Tehran\u2019s response. But over the last week, the US-Israel joined by its vassal UAE are making discrepant claims that are far apart from Iran\u2019s account of recent events.\u00a0While US\/Israel have a long-established track record of backstabbing betrayal and deception, never complying with previously made agreements, lying virtually 100% of the time, in relative contrast, Iran tends to far more accurately report a closer semblance of the truth. The challenge and aim of this article are to analyze and assess recent actions and statements of both sides to ferret out the truth and appraise where humanity is most likely headed in the near future. The proud nation of Iran, geographically larger than Western Europe and 67 times the size of Israel, is determined to sacrifice whatever adversity the US throws at it. Iran is willing to do this in order to overcome the oppressive stranglehold of globalist oligarchy as deployed by its strongarm vassal US Empire, allowed to willfully dominate and exploit the world with impunity for far too long. The Anglo-American-Zio Empire\u2019s half millennium heyday is finally over and Iran\u2019s bold actions are proving it.<\/p>\n On Thursday April 30th<\/sup>, Iran handed Pakistan Tehran\u2019s latest proposed\u00a014-point ceasefire<\/a>\u00a0peace offer that comes in three phases. The first phase aims for a permanent end to the war within 30 days, extending to both Iran\u2019s resistance nation allies as well as Israel, calling for an international oversight authority to ensure compliance. Iran agrees to gradually reopen Hormuz Strait with the US lifting its naval blockade. Also included in this first phase is Iran charging fees to Hormuz mercantile traffic as war reparations that would permit Iran to rebuild and repair after sustaining widespread destruction. The precedent is\u00a0Turkey<\/a>\u00a0charging fees through its Strait of Dardanelles.<\/p>\n The second phase centers on Iran\u2019s nuclear development. Tehran is reportedly offering a total freeze on all uranium enrichment for a period of up to 15 years. Since this issue has been central to Trump\u2019s justification for launching its unlawful war, this is a rather large concession on Iran\u2019s part. Trump\u2019s actual honest reason for the US-Israel\u2019s second war within 8 months against Iran is regime change. The nuclear issue is used as a poor feeble excuse since Iran has not sought nuclear weapons. The third and final phase includes the US removing its economic sanctions against Iran that for many decades have hampered Iran\u2019s economy and capacity for growth.<\/p>\n Despite Trump\u00a0tearing up<\/a>\u00a0the JCPOA nuclear agreement in May 2018, Iran had a record for full\u00a0compliance<\/a>\u00a0according to the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) inspectors. The Islamic Republic of Iran under both Ayatollah Ali Khomeini and his successor Ali Khamenei who was barbarically assassinated by the US-Israel\u2019s February 28th<\/sup>\u00a0unprovoked airstrike attack, both Supreme Leaders adhered to their religious fatwa policy prohibiting development of nuclear weapons. This fact was additionally confirmed by Trump\u2019s own US\u00a0intelligence services<\/a>\u00a0led by Tulsi Gabbard.<\/p>\n But because the US and Israel\u2019s repeated war of aggression against Iran, this time named Operation Epic Fury, constitutes an existential threat, Iran is fully justified to develop nukes in self-defense deterrence. It has been reported that Iran\u2019s current Supreme Leader\u00a0Mojtaba Khamenei<\/a>\u00a0is rethinking its fatwa policy as a potential means of deterring and limiting Israel-US lust for warmaking. In other words, the very reason US-Israel justify its brutal joint war against Iran is entirely the fault of these two genocidal belligerent villains. Were it not for their illegal war crime atrocities, Iran would never pose a nuclear threat. This problem is totally induced by the unconscionable US-Israel wrongdoing, morally, strategically and especially economically.<\/p>\n Three days after Iran\u2019s latest peace proposal, on Sunday May 3rd<\/sup>, Trump chose to inform Israel\u2019s\u00a0Kan TV<\/em><\/a> network:<\/p>\n [Iran\u2019s proposal is]\u00a0not acceptable to me. I\u2019ve studied it, I\u2019ve studied everything\u2014it\u2019s not acceptable. The Iranians want to make a deal, but I\u2019m not satisfied with what they\u2019ve offered.<\/p>\n The fat, ugly, imperial emperor, grossing the world out not wearing clothes and holding no cards, despite his feeble\u00a0Truth Social graphic<\/a>\u00a0claiming \u201cI have all the cards,\u201d is now once again racing full speed ahead toward Armageddon, in the form of his trumped-up latest euphemistic fantasy \u2013 \u201cProject Freedom.\u201d Sending in US Navy destroyers to escort tankers out of the Strait is not the answer and Tehran has made it clear that it will not sit passively by watching either. Trump is willing to use our own US Navy sailors as sacrificial fodder to wage the excuse for the larger Armageddon War plotted by Illuminati\u00a0Freemasons<\/a>\u00a0more than a century and a half ago in their delineated Zionist versus Islam World War III. Trump is playing out his Chabad Satanic cult destiny that he\u00a0readily admits<\/a>\u00a0will not get him into heaven.<\/p>\n However erratic Trump\u2019s behavior so often is these days, choosing no given offramp, Trump\u2019s nonstop, reckless, back and forth desperado deception and belligerence, in the end ultimately always\u00a0follows his masters\u2019<\/a>\u00a0orders. Trump readily admits he does whatever his\u00a0Jewish donors\/owners demand<\/a>, be they the Rothschilds bailing his ass out of\u00a0bankruptcy<\/a>\u00a0repeatedly or Miriam Adelson\u2019s nonstop bribery or Bibi Netanyahu\u2019s blackmail for Trump\u2019s Epstein\u00a0pedo-crimes<\/a>. As their designated loose cannon \u201cenforcer\/divider\/destroyer,\u201d Trump is simply their puppet obediently following his Satanic masters\u2019 orders, launching an apocalyptic world war to depopulate the earth for AI robotics takeover.<\/p>\n Put another way via Peter Hanseler\u2019s May 3rd<\/sup>\u00a0article on\u00a0forumgeopolitica.com<\/a><\/em>, entitled \u201cWar Without Peace \u2013 The U.S. Strategy Has Little to Do with Trump,\u201d opens with:<\/p>\n Trump is not his own master when it comes to policy\u2014he is merely the front man for implementing a strategy using unsavory means; a strategy aimed at maintaining hegemony that will ultimately target China and Russia\u2014and will likely fail, because the US has made massive miscalculations.<\/em><\/p>\n Agreed, until the statement that Trump and advisors\u2019 \u201cmassive miscalculations,\u201d attributed largely to Bibi the Butcher and his Mossad Director\u00a0David Barnea<\/a>\u00a0who both met in person with Trump days before their joint February 28th<\/sup>\u00a0attack. Nor is Trump misled by miscalculations of his sycophants \u2013 Foreign Secretary Marco Rubio and War Secretary zealot\u00a0Pete Hegseth<\/a>. As mere Zionist puppets they all simply follow orders given them on high by planetary overlords from these same handful of bloodline elites \u2013\u00a0the Rothschilds<\/a>\u00a0and Rockefellers et al. These infamous elites representing the black nobility class that runs our planet, last century calculatingly financed and built-up today\u2019s Eastern powers Russia, China and Iran as their\u00a0controlled opposition<\/a>\u00a0forces, expressly to defeat the socially engineered, impotently weaker yet belligerently led by handpicked, suicidal Western puppet maniacs like Trump. There are and were no miscalculations, but only the calculated calculus outcome by total deliberate design.<\/p>\n Despite Trump\u2019s outright refusal to accept Iran\u2019s 14-point proposal, Iran\u2019s Foreign Ministry spokesperson\u00a0Esmaeil Baghaei\u00a0<\/a>emphasized that Iran is neither negotiating under deadlines nor ultimatums in the context of its 30-day ceasefire proposal. Unlike mobster Trump, threats and ultimatums are not how Iran conducts business or war, but clearly it is offering talks from a position of strength. Also, unlike Mr. Tough Guy who holds no cards, like Israel they only hold their nuke card.<\/p>\n In the fog of war, the first thing lost always is the truth, especially when it comes to the US as the most warring nation on earth (93%<\/a>\u00a0of its 250 years). Like every nation aggressor that initiates wars, America never fails to demonize and dehumanize its targeted enemies, before, during and after every conflict it ever starts and, for nearly a century, every war that by design it inevitably loses. In the modern day, every long distant occupation war lost is a war of attrition. Moreover, with today\u2019s use of drone and missile swarms, battlefield warfare has radically changed, rendering tanks and aircraft carrier fighter groups highly vulnerable as slow moving sitting ducks. With $15,000 drones now able to damage and even sink large US Navy warships at a cost of $2.5-$13 billion<\/a>, not only does the US find its military weapons production too exorbitant compared to cheaply made potential lethal weapons mass produced by its targeted enemy for pennies on the dollar, but US warmaking capacity is bureaucratically corrupt and grossly inefficient. Even the poor nation of war-torn Yemen and their\u00a0Houthis<\/a>\u00a0were able to beat back America\u2019s big guns and bombs with their homemade drone swarms a year ago. Supporting and supplying multiple distant wars on multiple fronts for several years in Ukraine and Middle East, the US\u00a0weapons arsenal<\/a>\u00a0has largely been significantly depleted.<\/p>\n This combo does not bode well, especially when all the US military and political experts agree that our biggest adversarial rival is China, which unlike the US has modernized its military arsenal, possessing nearly twice as many naval warships as the US (841 to 465<\/a>). Like every dying empire, the US aggressor has spread itself way to over ambitiously thin, its unipolar hegemony now history, fighting on too many simultaneous warfronts, and is destined to combust and self-destruct shortly. But now this Middle East war alone against Iran as another war defeat in sacrifice for the Greater Israel Project, is also destroying not only the US, but entire global economy, having sped up America\u2019s own empiric demise manyfold. Moreover, it\u2019s not only losing two more wars of attrition, with one against a much smaller regional opponent Iran, having bitten off way more bombs and wars than it can chew, much less swallow or win. The US government, completely owned by Israel and its City of London founders that control our American politician traitors in Washington, is self-destructing in real time, sacrificing both our nation and its people, all for Israel\u2019s self-destruction. Total madness!<\/p>\n As the\u00a0most unpopular<\/a>\u00a0US President on record since presidential approval rating polls began in 1945, Donald Trump\u2019s trademark flip flops continue incessantly during the first 15.5 months of his second term, which he will not survive. Trump\u2019s overt\u00a0chronic drug addiction<\/a>, dire\u00a0medical<\/a>\u00a0condition, increasing dementia,\u00a0severe cognitive decline<\/a>, narcissistic psychopathy, tangential thinking, poor impulse control, daily fits of rage exhibiting psychosis including paranoid and grandiose delusions, all render him totally unfit for his job as president and a growing danger to every life form on earth. His top military officer Gen. Dan Caine has already prevented him from access to the nuclear codes at least once. Meanwhile, his Vice President JD Vance appears too cowardly to initiate the 25th<\/sup>\u00a0Amendment to save America and possible world from ruin, despite showing signs he disagrees with the war policy.<\/p>\n This last week Trump conveniently declared his latest illegal, unprovoked war of aggression against Iran to miraculously be over suddenly, simply to circumvent his\u00a060-day deadline<\/a>\u00a0(March 1-May 1) on his War Powers Act without Congress approval, in and of itself a violation of our Constitution. Only to proclaim \u201cProject Freedom<\/a>\u201d as his latest humanitarian \u201cpeace mission,\u201d ordering US naval warship escorts on Monday May 4th<\/sup>\u00a0to \u201cunselfishly\u201d begin unclogging over 1500 oil tankers and cargo ships allegedly trapped inside the Strait of Hormuz. This sanctimonious pretense neither hides nor obscures Trump\u2019s outright conniving endless lies to deliberately sabotage any and all chance of peace in order to escalate the conflict beyond a Mideast regional war for the Greater Israel Project, widened into all-out World War III for the Greater Israel Project.<\/p>\n On Tuesday May 5th<\/sup>\u00a0just a day later, Trump engaging in flip flop already changed his plans, announcing that\u00a0a pause<\/a>\u00a0for a short period on US warships guiding vessels through the Strait of Hormuz after reports that US ships were fired upon by Iran. However, the US naval blockade is said to still remain in place. Trump\u2019s given reason for the pause is progress in talks with mediator Pakistan to end the war, which no one at this point is holding their breath having heard that fa\u00e7ade go down countless times before. Iran has the missile and drone power to begin destroying the 12 or so US warships in close proximity to the Strait, and has threatened as much. But hoping for a peaceful way out, Tehran continues demonstrating remarkable restraint and patience.<\/p>\n There are limits, speaking of which the Iran parliament\u2019s national security commission chief,\u00a0Ebrahim Azizi<\/a>, warns that any interference with navigation through Hormuz Strait constitutes a violation of the ceasefire and return to war, which has been Trump and his Zionist overlords\u2019 overall mission.<\/p>\n Perhaps Trump and his top brass have realized the notion of a naval escort is highly impractical. Retired Marine Corps special operations specialist and counterintelligence agent\u00a0Jonathan Hackett<\/a>\u00a0sees Trump\u2019s latest ploy as yet more treacherous failure:<\/p>\n There are only about 12 Navy vessels that could actually conduct some kind of defence of these ships. Before the war, there were over 100 transits per day through the Strait of Hormuz. The maths simply does not work out.<\/em><\/p>\n Also United Arab Emirates has aired complaints on back-to-back days this week that Iran fired drones on its territory but that UAE\u2019s Edge air defense system neutralized them from reaching land, though two Indian nationals were allegedly hospitalized with minor burns from falling debris. In response, an Iran military spokesman emphatically denied that Iran carried out any recent attacks\u00a0against UAE<\/a>:<\/p>\n [Tehran has been subjected to]\u00a0unfair media attacks, baseless accusations, and propaganda.<\/p>\n The usual suspect in West Asia false flags is none other than Israel, the nation that the UAE is known to be especially cordial with.<\/p>\n Contrast the disparity of justice on how the US treats Iran with how both the US and world\u2019s tacit permissiveness toward Israeli war crimes looking the other way for decades greenlights Israel\u2019s mayhem and plunder in the Middle East. Case in point is the Jewish State\u2019s early 1960s buildup of a nuclear weapons arsenal that caused in part America\u2019s greatest modern president\u00a0JFK\u2019s assassination<\/a>\u00a0because he was determined to hold Israel to account for its nuclear threat, subsequently emboldened by its Sampson option as the only nation on earth arbitrarily threatening friend or foe alike. Every president since has been an enabler, never daring seriously confront this renegade nation over its nuclear arsenal estimated to be at 80-90 warheads. All the while, smug Israel neither confirms nor denies possessing nuclear weapons. Compound that with its total impunity committed to a nonstop policy of genocide against Palestinians and, with US collusion and unconditional support, Israel has yet to ever be held to account for all its carnage, defiance of international law and continual war crime history its last 78 years. All these facts have virtually the entire world rooting for an Iran victory against the world\u2019s deadliest nation pariahs.<\/p>\n As Israel\u2019s glaring genocidal war crimes come under increasing opposition from the entire world, including a growing number of European allies, finally Israel\u2019s nuclear hypocrisy has also come into focus. Thirty Democrats in the US House of Representatives have written a formal letter dated May 4th<\/sup>\u00a0to Secretary of State Marco Rubio demanding that Trump address Israel\u2019s nuclear arsenal and relevant policies. Texas Congressman\u00a0Joaquin Castro<\/a>\u00a0wrote in the letter:<\/p>\n [Washington is fighting]\u00a0side by side with a country whose potential nuclear weapons program the United States government officially refuses to acknowledge.<\/em>\u00a0The risks of miscalculation, escalation, and nuclear use in this environment are not theoretical.<\/em><\/p>\n Another\u00a0letter except<\/a>:<\/p>\n Constitutional responsibility to be fully informed about the nuclear balance in the Middle East, the risk of escalation by any party to this conflict, and the administration\u2019s planning and contingencies for such scenarios. We ask that you hold Israel to the same standard of transparency that the United States expects from any other country that may be pursuing or retaining nuclear weapons capability.<\/em><\/p>\n Also last month 40 Democrats in Congress voted to block weapons shipments to Israel. Finally, it\u2019s no longer a political liability to be critical toward Israel, despite the antisemitism hate speech laws. Democrats running for office this November refusing to be bribed and controlled by a foreign government called Israel will resonate with American voters. Registered Democrat voters currently hold an 80% negative view toward the pariah rogue nation. And a growing number of countries are demanding more accountability of the Jewish State than ever before in its eight-decade existence.<\/p>\n For over a century these so-called elites\u2019 malevolent grand plan \u2013 establishing their tyrannical one world government, has been their centralized, not-so-hidden, sought after agenda. Thus, their deemed biggest obstacle has always been the US hegemon as sole global superpower along with its albeit fractured, alienated Western European allies as so-called bastions of \u201cliberal democracy.\u201d With the West possessing the largest middle-class affluence and historically enjoying the most constitutional freedom, they are deemed to pose the greatest resistance, pushback and threat to the elites\u2019 dark vision of technofascist, neo-feudal, totalitarian enslavement. Their dystopian madness is what\u2019s about to kill off the \u201cuseless eating,\u201d inferior human race in favor of the AI robotics and transhumanist cyborg agenda.<\/p>\n Thus, these so-called \u201cmiscalculations\u201d are very much calculated as essentials if our common enemy\u2019s nightmare is to succeed. And in this 11th<\/sup>\u00a0hour and 58th<\/sup>\u00a0minute, if enough humans fail to realize what\u2019s at stake with our very species now targeted in our enemy\u2019s genocidal crosshairs, then it\u2019s already too late and tragically a done deal already. Our common enemy has long counted on our feeble ignorance to never mobilizing enough unified resistance and strength globally to defeat our would-be executioners. The Anglo-American-Zio Empire\u2019s overplayed hand through Trump\u2019s bullying, lawless aggression against a unified Iran that has not invaded another country for centuries yet has meticulously planned for this war for decades, appears to hold the victory cards, waiting it out to ultimately win this David versus Goliath war of imperialistic aggression as Iran\u2019s asymmetrical hybrid war of attrition.<\/p>\n Tehran is counting on the pain and heavy consequence of a collapsing global economy to be greater than its own internal pain of sustained Zionist airstrikes demolishing much of its energy and military infrastructure, its civilian hospitals, fertility clinics, schools and urban residences and a high civilian death toll. Yet its 90 million plus population, suffering personal loss of family and enduring severest hardship conditions, remains unshakably loyal toward its current government, resolute in outlasting US-Israel enemy.<\/p>\n Iran is fully aware that it is the last holdout sovereign nation never conquered as a US failed state fatality, per the neocon Greater Israel Project criminals right after their inside 9\/11 job aspiring to target seven nations for regime change within five years, made public by General\u00a0Wesley Clark<\/a>. Libya, Iraq, Somalia, Sudan, Lebanon and Syria are all destroyed failed states by US Greater Israel Project conquest. But never will Iran because its courageous stand against evil US-Israel imperialism is currently shifting the balance of power in both West Asia as well as the world. Unipolar is out and multipolar is in, much to Washington DC\u2019s chagrin. And as a result, out with the old US petrodollar and in with the new yuan and\/or local currency and\/or eventual BRICS currency backed by gold. And Iran will likely outlast the United States in the Middle East, both in rial vs USD and as a viable surviving nation. With the City of London Rothschild clan so heavily, profitably invested in creating conflict, and war on our planet and depopulation so high on their to-do list, hope for peace but expect more war.<\/p>\n ***Postscript***<\/p>\n Isn\u2019t it just like the flip flopper to tell Israel TV he rejected Iran\u2019s offer and then turn around a few days later submitting it right back to Iran as his latest offer so he can boast he brokered the peace deal. According to the Wednesday May 6th<\/sup>\u00a0Daily Mail<\/a><\/em>, All the same terms Iran last made on April 30th<\/sup>, are in Trump\u2019s proposal awaiting Tehran\u2019s approval. It\u2019s a one-page 14-point proposal that offers the same-30-day window to work out the details to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, lift all US sanctions on Iran and set new limits on its nuclear program (similar to the one Flip Flop rejected in 2018 because Obama made it). If idiot needs to save face for creating this global disaster by taking credit, so be it if in fact it results in peace. Iran is a mature and wiser civilization to let the infantile ego take a bow even though the entire world knows whose deal it is as the real dealmaker holding all the cards. My concern is Israel and the Jewish State Khazarian mafia founders will insist on yet another Flip Flop sabotage.<\/p>\n
