We knew it was coming and with the recent attacks on Russia and now Iran, the US national-security-state is rolling the dice. It’s game-on.

As the American empire loses primacy, and as it’s major weapons systems turn out to be fragile and ineffective, it’s increasingly turning to asymmetric, hybrid-warfare, especially high-tech terrorism. We’ve already seen what the preferred tactics are: assassinations, drone and terror bombings, cyber attacks, sanctions, divisions by ethnicity and religion in the “enemy” country, the whole color-revolution playbook, etc.

The Israeli attack on Iran had all of the hallmarks of the Ukraine attack on Russian airbases. Israel’s initial strike included the use of trailer-truck drones — the same tactic that Ukraine used on June 1 against Russia’s strategic air assets. Moreover, the US/NATO, Ukraine effort to assassinate Putin while attacking Russian nuclear assets looks very much like the effort to decapitate the Iranian regime with its attack on Iran.

Israeli sources claim Mossad established a covert drone launch site deep inside Iran, that was built over several months. The vehicle mounted drones were then deployed against Iranian anti-aircraft missile systems, communication infrastructure, military commanders and nuclear scientists.

Like I said, it sounds a lot like the Ukraine drone attack against Russia, where both operations involved US intelligence, surveillance technology and military assets.

Trump’s comments and behavior after both of these actions only solidify the reality that the US regime is a rogue state and never a good faith actor. Iran just became the latest victim of its betrayal. Senior Israeli official disclosed to The Jerusalem Post that the Netanyahu and Trump regimes colluded “to convince Tehran that diplomacy was still possible after Israel was ready to attack Iran.” As the Jerusalem Post reported, “The round of U.S.–Iranian nuclear negotiations scheduled for Sunday was part of a coordinated U.S.–Israeli deception aimed at lowering Iran’s guard ahead of Friday’s attack.”

For the US national-security-state, the idea is to keep Israel as the only nuclear-armed state in the Middle East so that it can project unrestrained military power across an oil-rich region the West is determined to control. What we have been witnessing over the past 20 months of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, terror attacks on the leaders of Hezbollah and the destruction of Syria, is Israel and the US jointly remaking the Middle East through extreme violence. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz noted this week, in one of those quiet-part-out-loud moments: “This [the attack on Iran] is the dirty work Israel is doing for all of us.”

There’s an economic as well as geo-strategic aspect to Israel’s attack on Iran. Military power depends on economic power. There’s the vast hydrocarbon resources, but Iran also is crucial to various trade and and pipeline plans, an ally of China and Russia, as well as a member of BRICS. Iran’s geographically strategic location has long positioned it as a bridge between East and West, as well as a key crossroads along the ancient Silk Road. In 2024 Iran also became a full member of BRICS, and in late May 2025 the first train ran on the Urumqi (China) to Tehran (Iran) railway, providing a direct rail freight link between the two nations; developing Iran as a transport hub with links to both China and Russia.

Viewed through this lens the US-Israel attack on Iran can be considered a front line in the war against China and Russia. The Ukraine war and the Israel-Iran conflict are not separate crises, but interlinked fronts in a stealthy world war — one that pits the US against a de facto alliance of of Russia, Iran and China. With the wars in Ukraine and West Asia now merging, the economic basis of the conflict is being revealed. The US is trying to destroy BRICS. The states standing in the way must be crushed.

The fingerprints of the US can be found all over the latest plot. As the initial attack was ongoing, the US Navy attempted to shoot down Iranian missiles as Iraq, under the control of the US, closed its airspace to Iranian fighter jets. Donald Trump’s claim that ‘he knew everything’ is because the US is uniquely responsible for the attack. At this point, claims that it was only Israel that attacked Iran are ridiculous.

Israel is our “unsinkable aircraft carrier” in the Middle East and their policies of rape, murder, terror bombing and genocide are our policies. The US and Israel view this larger war a zero-sum game, and there is no act considered out of bounds. This is the dark-side of the American empire: the US national-security-state wages a non-stop terror war against civilians and civilian infrastructure, while deluding Americans with tales of democracy and freedom.

The US empire and their colonial implant-Israel-are following the same ambition that drove every colonial power since the nineteenth century: unfettered access to cheap labour and natural resources. And one where genocide and wars of aggression are normalized. For that vision to become reality, the Iranian government must be toppled for standing up to the empire and attempting to achieve economic and political sovereignty.

What we have is the battle between the US global order and those states intent on retaining their sovereignty in the face of an empire hellbent on maintaining control. It’s ironic that the actions America is taking and enabling are monstrous yet they are accelerating America’s decline. Unfortunately, empires do not go gentle into that long night.

Update: Seymour Hersh’s sources say the US will attack Iran this weekend.

If Trump pulls the trigger, the Jeffery Epstein/Mossad honeypot operation must have some explicit pictures of him fucking young girls. Maybe he has a small dick and doesn’t want anyone to know?
