Donald Trump calls himself a peacemaker. His actions, however, betray his words. When it comes to the Middle East, he is an obvious war president. This begs the question: Does he have a coherent Middle East strategy beyond providing for Israel’s security interests?...
Leaked confidential files indicate the International Atomic Energy Agency was infiltrated by a veteran British spy who has claimed credit for sanctions on Iran. The documents lend weight to the Islamic Republic’s accusation that the nuclear watchdog secretly colluded...
On June 13, 2025, Tel Aviv launched what many international observers and Iranian officials have described as an unprovoked military strike on Iran. Israeli jets bombed military and nuclear sites, while Mossad-run sleeper cells carried out sabotage missions against...
President Trump, to his credit, demanded a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. Both countries agreed to it. Then, the president became very angry with Israel because, as he said, “As soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs the likes of...
At one level, Iran plainly “won.” Trump had wanted to be regaled with a reality-TV style, splendid “Victory.” Sunday’s attack on the three nuclear sites indeed was loudly proclaimed by Trump and Hegseth as such – having “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear enrichment...
It is generally believed that American voters elected Donald Trump president at least in part due to their embracing his lies that he was a peacemaker who would not involve the United States in the pointless wars that have proliferated since 9/11. Trump’s predecessor...
How soon people have forgotten that, earlier this year, the US dispatched two carrier strike groups and a half-dozen B-2s (and other USAF assets) to disarm the Yemeni and open the selectively blockaded Red Sea. They failed. Abysmally. For the second time! First of...
I don’t know why Iran agreed to the ceasefire, but it did. Iranian leaders, in my opinion, are frighteningly naive. Some apparently believe that they can achieve a legitimate negotiated deal with Donald Trump. I suggest the Ayatollah and IRGC commanders read Donald...
The former President and Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council Dmitry Medvedev who is one of the most authoritative voices in the Kremlin, wrote on the Telegram channel on June 23 a critique on the Middle East crisis following the US attack on Iran’s three key...
President Trump says it was necessary for him to order US pilots to bomb Iran to prevent that nation’s government from building a nuclear bomb. Wait a minute. Something is coming to me. Just give me a moment. It’s coming into my mind. Oh, yes, I remember: “WMDs! WMDs,...
The IAEA Board’s “Non-Compliance” Resolution on 12 June 2025 was the planned precursor for Israel’s “bolt from the blue” strike on Iran the next day. Israelis say the plan to go to war with Iran was grounded in “the opportunity” to strike, and not the intelligence...
Any moment now I am expecting John Cleese (a veteran of Monty Python) to jump out of the bushes and announce the creation of the Ministry of Silly Wars, with Donald Trump as the deranged leader. For you youngsters out there, Monty Python’s skit, The Ministry of Silly...
There is a somewhat troublesome backstory to President Donald Trump’s glorification of how Saturday’s US forces attack on three Iranian nuclear sites that “completely obliterated” their targets was carried out without any declaration of war against a country that has...
On the 21st of June, a day that will live in infamy, President Trump led the American People to War with Iran. Trump’s message to Americans? Striking Iran's three nuclear facilities is all that U.S. Forces will do. Unless, of course, the Iranians have the temerity to...
This article first appeared as an exclusive to Ron Paul Institute subscribers. Subscribe here for free. As of this writing, the United States military appears to have all of its assets in place for a major attack on Iran. Over the past several days we have seen...
We described earlier that the Pentagon’s Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) has reportedly informed American officials that destroying Iran’s heavily fortified Fordow nuclear facility might require the use of a nuclear weapon, based on The Guardian....
Here is my prediction… Donald Trump will change his mind at least three times in the next three days. Trump did nothing to calm fears that he has lost touch with reality when his press secretary, Ms. Leavitt, announced that Trump would make the decision on US...
