Under pressure from Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Trump administration may be within days of launching a nuclear strike on Iran. The target would be Pickax Mountain in central Iran, where Israeli intelligence claims the Iranian government has restarted its nuclear enrichment program. No conventional weapon in the American arsenal can penetrate 300 feet of solid granite to destroy the tunnels where enrichment is supposedly taking place. The only military option is a nuclear strike. Netanyahu has been pushing hard for one. “Bibi calls Trump about it every day,” says an informed observer.
Netanyahu is cornered and desperate. After last week’s election results, he can’t form a government unless Trump intervenes directly in Israeli politics and brokers a deal with other parties that gives Netanyahu 61 seats in the Knesset. Otherwise, he is out as prime minister and on his way to ignominy, investigations and possibly jail. Netanyahu must stay close to Trump. He needs this war.
To that end, he’s applied maximum pressure to his closest allies in the administration, including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper. Both oppose a negotiated settlement to the war they’ve so grievously mismanaged; both are pushing to restart major combat operations. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and CIA director John Ratcliffe are also following Netanyahu’s lead, as are leaders of the Democratic Party. In a recent meeting on the subject, former president Barack Obama said he opposes the current Iran peace deal being drafted in Doha.
The rest of America’s longtime allies in the Middle East are terrified by the prospect of more war. On September 27th, Netanyahu flew secretly to Abu Dhabi to enlist the UAE in his lobbying effort for a final attack on Iran. The Emiratis refused. After eight months of conflict, Gulf economies are teetering. So are global energy and fertilizer markets. They won’t recover soon. Globally, there are a total of about 850 supertankers used to transport oil from producers to the rest of the world. In October alone, 11 of them were badly damaged in Hormuz. At this pace, a global depression is imminent. A nuclear strike would radically accelerate the destruction. Fallout from a ground explosion at Pickax Mountain would contaminate the Persian Gulf, poisoning the water supply for 100 million people.
And those are just some of the immediate consequences for the region. The rest of the world is every bit as exposed. No country other than the United States has ever used a nuclear weapon in war. Some would like to. An American nuclear attack on Iran would set a new precedent. The Russians have already told at least two other governments that an American nuclear strike on Iran would free them to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine. Pakistan and India would be tempted to do the same against each other, as would North Korea against Seoul. After the first nuclear strike, World War Three is inevitable. That war would be short and final.
We’ve been sleepwalking toward this moment for months. Since February, the administration has quietly rewritten America’s nuclear doctrine to make first use of so-called “battlefield nukes” easier and therefore more likely. No one in Washington in either party seems bothered by this. Now we’re on the brink of it.
Close observers say Trump is likely to decide by next weekend whether or not to use nuclear weapons. That would be November 7, six days from now. To his credit, he’s hesitating. At the moment, Trump is listening to his vice president, JD Vance, and to his envoy and friend Steve Witkoff, both of whom argue a deal with Iran can be made.
They’re right, though it won’t be simple. The Iranians are famously frustrating to negotiate with under any circumstances, and elements of that government have become more radical since Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his family were killed in February. After decades of isolation, even relatively moderate Iranian leaders seem confused by how decisions are made in the West. (There is a widespread belief in Tehran, for example, that the United States government controls Israel.) But overall, people who have spoken to decision-makers in Iran say there is consensus there that more war is bad for everyone and a deal is worth making.
One group that hasn’t been consulted so far is the global population — the hundreds of millions of people who will be killed along with their children if Trump is pushed by Netanyahu into launching a nuclear strike next week. Now would be the time for them to speak up.
Very much worth hearing this aggressively self-righteous screed again, 10 months, and a devastating INDEPENDENT Charlie Kirk assassination security review later. @BlakeSNeff, does your offer to @RealCandaceO still stand??
If you want to see how Charlie Kirk would report his own murder here it is.
This is why hypocrisy is one of the worst sins in Islam as well as pre Schofield Christianity.
If you believe God is the truth. And the Holy Spirit is the truth. To create “truth” to serve your vanity is the unforgivable sin. It does so much damage.
Stubbing your toe and saying “damn it” or not submitting to a religious institution is not blasphemy. This video shows you what blasphemy actually is.
Blake Neff's "Judgement Day" 👀
On the biggest streaming night of their careers—Blakey-poo says something r3tarded & gets Charlie Kirk kicked off YouTube
You can CLEARLY SEE CHARLIE'S DISGUST AT BLAKE'S INCOMPETENCE just before he throws his earpiece & storms off.
Not friends.
‼️Watch Blake Neff Blow Up Charlie Kirk’s Livestream In Front Of 300,000 People — The Most Painfully Awkward Silence Ensues. 👀
On Charlie Kirk's 2024 election night stream — while they had over 300k people watching, Blake Neff said something so bad YouTube abruptly shut down their livestream. 2 excruciating minutes of the most awkward silence follows which to Blake i'm sure felt like an eternity.
You could clearly see that Charlie was livid — his face says it all. Charlie eventually got so angry he even had to get up and walk off camera to regain his composure, all the while Blake Neff was sitting there in silence, with his head down in shame, tail tucked between his legs. It was glorious to watch. Enjoy!
Special thanks to @therealwild_amy for sending me this clip. FOLLOW her!
@BlakeSNeff Repent while you still can, for it is written: “But cowards, traitors, perverts, murderers, the immoral, those who practice magic, those who worship idols, and all liars - the place for them is the lake burning with fire and sulfur, which is the second death." Revelation 21:8
If you’re not getting it yet- TPUSA told us the local chapter asked to host the event.
Turns out that was a lie- TPUSA headquarters reached out to the UVU chapter to specifically tell them to ask to schedule the event specifically for that time and location.
The subtext is that this aligns with it being a planned assassination. You would need to pick the time and place- and TPUSA has told us for a year now that the kids at UVU requested the event so how could it be a planned assassination.
Turns out someone in TPUSA picked the time and place. And then they lied about it publicly for a year.
Yeah. That’s extremely damning.
Like asking your husband why his location was showing at his exe’s house last night and he says
“oh I was out with the guys and Joey works with her and needed to swing by to pick something up. I didn’t even go inside obviously”
And then you find your husband texting his ex planning to go over there yesterday for a drink.
So A - why are you going over to your exe’s house and B- why are you lying about it.
And C- the fact you lied about it for a year makes the answer to question A look pretty obvious.
IDF soldiers tell a young Palestinian man to continue on his way, then shoot him from a distance and kill him.
A cold-blooded field execution. This is not a state, but a terrorist organization.
