Trump - ‘We are getting close to achieving our goals'. ‘We are considering reducing our large military operations in the Middle East'. ‘Countries that use the Strait of Hormuz should protect and secure it'.
I wonder, is he getting to leave or is this simply the theatre that precedes an attack?
I suppose the MSM news on recent zionist accounts of Iranian long range missiles attempting to strike Diego Garcia and possibly being able to hit Europe as some sort of fact because the IDF reported it!
I think they might let that fake news sink in before ratcheting their killing up a notch.
Thanks Rob for another great review from the lunatic, terrorist, evil, nasty, crooky and greedy powers that rule in Israel and USA.
It seems that Israel has gone nuts and are overstretching to reach a final solution of their predicament to live as occupier's on stolen lands and want to crush all resistance by acting like the devil in hell.
The EU countries and UK act like it is raining water and not bombs on Lebanon and Iran.
Trump acts like a B-actor in a B-movie and read his lines and shout out not remembering if it is contradicting what he said a minute earlier.
Very upsetting to watch this brutal and unnecessary war leading to the destruction of not only Iran but also the selfdestruction of US and Israel and promoting anti-semitism and terrorism.
Thanks again Rob, I am impressed of your ability to remain as a sober reporter to this madness.
Thanks Freddy - The USraelis are going nuts with Trump offering a veiled threat to Iran that he may go nuclear. This shows that he is completely rattled. There are some in Netanyahu's coalition who believe that Israel must be defeated in order to bring on Armageddon - from which the Israelis will be reborn as rulers of the Middle East. This is nonsense of course. Trump, as you say, is a walking, talking contradiction. You make a good point about remaining sober. Some commentators are feeling this emotionally but I am managing to remain detached - most of the time.
I read that there are religious overtones about promoting conditions to lure a fictive, divine messias to descend into the world and solve all problems and create a heaven on earth, for some righteous believers, who obey every syllable in babylon/persian myths incorporated and stolen in to the Torah. I think this is propaganda for the half literate christian taxpayers in the US to pay for moar wars on behalf of the poor jews.
Maybe Rob you have a druid drink that makes you stay sane in an insane world?
I agree, the old testament is false and fake. We followed it in Sweden during reformation time in the 17:th century against Catholicism. I wasn't going very well. A lot of death sentences for minor issues was executed. I think that the Torah is an deathwish horror that is an inhuman fairytale and very obsolete. And to drink milk with a juicy steak renders you perhaps to death sentence. Happy Solstice, to you and newroz!
Thanks Rob, for doing your extra 'homework' at this crucial time in history.
Our government news channels in Oz only report damage to, and deaths and displacements in, Iran and Lebanon. There is no coverage of damage, deaths or displacements in Israel. Perhaps that is because Netanyahu, over a week ago, threatened 5 years gaol time for anyone posting damage to Tel Aviv on social media. However, there are reports that thousands of people are leaving Israel via an airport in the Sinai Desert, which makes me wonder if Ben Gurion airport is still functional.
The good news is that the Rafa Crossing has reopened and the people of Gaza are again receiving food and medical supplies.
The fire on the USS Gerald Ford was reportedly started in the laundry of the ship where it is thought that crew members set clothing alight there. Naval recruits are finding clothing quite useful in getting US Aircraft carriers out of the war zone, given that clothing stuffed into toilets on the other aircraft carrier there (USS Harry Truman?) was sabotaged with clothing stuffed into toilets. There are reports that this second carrier was hit with a fatah missile, has been seriously damaged, and has retreated to Cyprus for repairs. There is also massive resistance to this war in the US military, with both soldiers and commanders objecting to "dying for Israel" in a war that has not been sanctioned by Congress.
Given that the two times that Iran went to the negotiating table USreal attacked them, it is understandable that Iran has now set strict conditions for ending the war, which USreal will not meet. I optimistically believe that its continuation will end the Zionist Project all together, and result in terminating the US presence in the Middle East. Unfortunately repairing the damage done to oil facilities in the gulf is going to take years to repair, so will affect all of us very badly.
Oh, and the head choppers in charge of Syria were considering supporting Israel by attacking Hezbola via the Syrian border. They are now reconsidering this proposal, as their previous attempts went nowhere, after resistance not by Hezbola, but by tribes inside the border of Lebanon.
Thanks for that Joy. Even though I am having to do extra work: I could not have done otherwise when the Iran war started. I had to cover it. But I am trying to make my research more efficient. As for Ben Gurion, Israel has military stuff in the area: that's why the Iranians are hitting it virtually every day. Interesting that there could be some rebellion happening in the US navy. This has a long way to go yet but I am hopeful that the US will be kicked out of the ME and the Israelis muzzled - at the very least.
I have also been told that it shall be some ten commandments in the old testament. Maybe it is false because if the talmudists and the IDF population in Israel murder and steal almost every day they should be punished to death by their Asian Zoroastrian or Egyptian tribe god.
Thanks for the summary Rob. I think Netanyahu is as bloodthirsty as ever and god only knows what he will pressure the US into next.
Trump seems to be quite a sick individual who has no idea what he has unleashed.
The talk of possible boots on the ground, in the Judeo-Christian war, will surely be over ruled by military higher ups.
Also do they honestly think that the 2 MEU task forces that have been dispatched are going to frighten Iran.
Where could they possibly land 5,000 marines without being annihilated, or even sunk midway through the Persian Gulf?
Now he is calling NATO cowards for not wanting to get involved in his ZIO war.
Did they really model the whole thing and possibility of WW3 on a computer program telling them that a decapitation strike would create regime change in Iran.
It beggars belief,
Hopefully some more Western key figures will rebel and call out the insanity in the next few days or so.
"The Satanic ‘Epstein’ regime will resist with tooth and claw but the optimist in me is hopeful."
I'm deeply hoping that the members of the club of the 300 billionars ruling the hole show have children and grandchildren too so that they don't really want to obliterate the planet.
As the WW2 was starting in 1939 my grandfather said: "Doesn't matter, than we must eat fried potatoes (Bratkartoffeln) out of our garden".
So I'm hopefull too. Thanks for the huge update, Hans
Thanks Rob, I struggle to comprehend the level of hubris that have engulfed Trump and Israel. They look to be circling the drain and haven't a clue as to how to stop it. They have "negotiated "their way out of negotiations. Who would waste time talking to them? These are indeed weeks where decades happen. Cheers
Thanks Chris - I think Hubris has played a large part in this debacle. Trump and Hegseth symbolise the arrogant, exceptionalist hegemon as it continues to decay. They are so accustomed to being part of the sole superpower that they are not willing to accept that things have changed. They are in denial and the difference between their rhetoric and reality is stark. Of course, the legacy media will help them convince the majority of people that USrael is winning but as with Ukraine, reality will impose itself at some point - hopefully soon. I think Iran can help this by causing damage to USrael that no one can hide. An opportunity to do this may be presented by the Americans if they attempt to break the selective blockade of Hormuz to attack Kharg Island. I agree with you about decades happening in weeks. I was in my sick bed when this started so all I could do was watch. But a few days later I was immersed in it up to my head and I'm still there recording decades in weeks.
Czechia is landlocked. It doesn’t have a navy so I took the rumor that it had offered a vessel to help the US open Hormuz Straight as a pretty good joke.
So, this is Trump likely putting the final nail in the coffin that is the United States.
This evil war is likely to cost him the midterms, which will result in more impeachments, and when the Dems regain power, they'll make the Biden administration look positively tame by comparison, including jailing any and all political opposition.
America will not survive another democratic administration.
I just saw these Trump comments on Telegram:
Trump - ‘We are getting close to achieving our goals'. ‘We are considering reducing our large military operations in the Middle East'. ‘Countries that use the Strait of Hormuz should protect and secure it'.
I wonder, is he getting to leave or is this simply the theatre that precedes an attack?
Probably not even Trump knows the answer to that.
Hell mend the ba****d.
Could be the latter Rob.
I suppose the MSM news on recent zionist accounts of Iranian long range missiles attempting to strike Diego Garcia and possibly being able to hit Europe as some sort of fact because the IDF reported it!
I think they might let that fake news sink in before ratcheting their killing up a notch.
Czech cruiser in Persian Gulf is trolling.
The Czech Republic has no navy.
Czechs are laughing beasts.
The Czech Republic is a landlocked country.
The cruiser is reportedly named "Krteček".
"Krteček" (aka Little Mole) is a cartoon fairy tale character.
Hey George - I was caught out on that one- I'll edit it. I do know that the Czech Republic is land locked. Doh!
Let it. It's good trolling for mad orange man.

Maybe Rob you have a druid drink that makes you stay sane in an insane world?
Green tea - I have at least 7 cups a day with honey and lemon.
I reccommend freeze-dried milk.
What you've been told about the old testament is false.
I agree, the old testament is false and fake. We followed it in Sweden during reformation time in the 17:th century against Catholicism. I wasn't going very well.

Happy Equinox everyone. Here in the borders the daffodils are out in strength along with the primroses and today the weather is very spring like.

Thank you for another insightful summary.
US: hubris and desperation.
The RoW, Rest of the World, will force US/Zionist to stop.
Back in the old days there was a motto: live by the sword, by by the sword
Proposed update for these times: live by finance die by finance
WW III sure is going fast! Day by Day, Week by Week, should be over before Month by Month
Thanks Don - I am not hopeful that the Westerners or BRICS can get USrael to stop. But Iran may be able to. Cross fingers.
Cheers Rob.
Confucius say..
“If you call your allies cowards in February, don’t expect help in March”
He was spot on.
I suppose the European leaders having a good laugh at Orange man. Cheers Pete.
I have also been told that it shall be some ten commandments in the old testament. Maybe it is false because if the talmudists and the IDF population in Israel murder and steal almost every day they should be punished to death by their Asian Zoroastrian or Egyptian tribe god.
Thanks for that Freddy. I know very little of such things even though I used to teach The Sociology of Religion.
Thanks for the summary Rob. I think Netanyahu is as bloodthirsty as ever and god only knows what he will pressure the US into next.

Tense times - no idea what will happen next. Hey, I was on a band called 'beggars belief' a long time ago.
Tense times indeed Rob.
These situations sum up global leaders, immensely.
Continuously getting their countries into situations that do not have off ramps,
Their righteous politics crap precedes them as they focus on never backing down.
So true Anthony.
Thanks Rob for this huge report, I appreciate how much time it took. There is so much lies and ai slop out there.
Cheers Ray - it did take a lot of my time but it's a labour of love.
Thanks for all this hard work and a comprehensive daily summary.
Cheers Bill - appreciated.

Note the weasel Zelenksyy fully supports the US/Israel attacks against Iran....

Yes - I know; another reader pointed it out and I was caught out - even though I know the Czech republic is land locked. Good joke.
When I first heard the story, I was fooled for a few minutes myself.
So, this is Trump likely putting the final nail in the coffin that is the United States.
This evil war is likely to cost him the midterms, which will result in more impeachments, and when the Dems regain power, they'll make the Biden administration look positively tame by comparison, including jailing any and all political opposition.
America will not survive another democratic administration.
Thanks Occam. I suppose you know that Trump faces imprisonment as well as impeachment and that's where he and his lackeys belong.
For sure, he'll be arrested 20 minutes after handing over power.
At this point, jail is too good for the people who've done this to our country. And that includes most of the democratic party.
Honestly, it's well past time for torches and pitchforks in most western countries.
I doubt very much that you have seen evidence of devastating damage to bibistan. I haven't.
My main objection to your analysis is your discussion of trump as decider.
I dispute that that man has agency.
I have seen some since the conflict began including Gaza like destruction of buildings but it has been cut out now. All you see are damaged cars.
Thanks sincerely for your summary though.
