Let me make something very clear. The Neocons have been talking about using nukes forever. There are people in Israel also talking about using a tactical nuke on Iran’s nuclear facility because nothing else would reach it. These discussions are not using a major nuclear weapon like Hiroshima. This is a bit out of place. It is nothing new and I can tell you that the default with some of these people is to just nuke the opposition.

President Trump has been suckered into this war by the Neocons who escorted their Trojan Horse into the situation room, Netanyahu. Trump was against endless wars promoted by the Neocons like John Bolton. According to reports from The New York Times and other outlets, Netanyahu was “escorted” or “whisked” into the White House Situation Room on February 11th, 2026, by President Trump’s team for a highly classified presentation on Iran. Netanyahu was a foreign leader given rare access to the White House Situation Room. I believe he was the FIRST ever to enter that room, but I cannot definitively confirm that.

It is also not possible to definitively state that Jared Kushner escorted Netanyahu into the Situation Room during the February 11, 2026, meeting. However, I can at least confirm that he was present at a White House meeting with Netanyahu that same day. Netanyahu is obsessed with Iran and has been trying to get the United States to destroy Iran at least since 1996.

President Trump, I believe, was lied to and told that killing the Ayatollah on day one would win the war. That is ALWAYS a Neocon solution. They said the same about Saddam and I have head the very same bullshit that if they took out Putin, the Russian people would cheer and give them their fictional tickertape parade. These people have the same sales pitch and they are ruthless and claim to be for democracy yet infiltrade every administration to promote their endless wars.

These Neocons have justified regime changes around the world since World War II. The reason WHY Iran calls the USA the “Great Satan” is precisely this issue. The CIA, working alongside British intelligence (MI6), orchestrated the 1953 Iranian coup d’état to overthrow the democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh. A primary motivation was to re-establish Western control over Iran’s oil industry for the benefit of British and American companies.

This operation, known as Operation Ajax (or TPAJAX), is a well-documented example of Cold War covert intervention. The crisis was triggered by Mossadegh’s decision to nationalize Iran’s oil industry, which had been controlled by the British-owned Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (the forerunner of BP).

These Neocons have usurped American foreign policy and claim that they are spreading “democracy” to the world when in fact they circumvent the Constitution and launch unilateral operations without any Congressional approval. This is no different from a dictatorship. The people are NEVER asked shall we overthrow a government or start a war.

I was told back in the ’90s that the US should overthrow all the dictators in the Middle East and that would secure Israel for the future. Here is a video of General Wesley Clark hearing the same thing after 9/11 in 2001. I heard that same idea about 5 years before in private discussions with a leading Neocon.
