Brace Yourselves For War Between Iran and Israel

Are US foreign policies driven by
Political Ponerology?

Phil Taylor, host of the Taylor Report at CIUT-FM and former US marine, dissect the Hollywood war movie, “American Sniper.”

Taylor deals with a number of key issues: US “exceptionalism” and war crimes in Iraq; the privatization of the US military; Islamophobia; and lies told us by Chris Kyle and the Hollywood movie industry.


 
Not sure where else to put it: Somebody pointed out to me that Putin said during his visit to Jerusalem in 2012 that he wishes to see the third temple rebuilt. I looked into it and there are indeed several Israeli news websites reporting it, including the Jerusalem Post, but for some reason it was almost impossible to find the actual video of where he said that (in Russian).

I finally found the video on a Russian website (clip starts at 1:21). Putin did indeed say "I wish that your prayers are heard" in response to a rabbi who talked to him about a temple, though it is not clear if he was talking about the rebuilding of the third temple (possibly).

What is interesting is that the Jerusalem Post lied about Putin saying "This is exactly for what I came here, to pray that the Temple will be rebuilt."

It looks like Putin was just showing courtesy and nothing more by saying "I wish that your prayers are heard". In fact, it looks like he ended the conversation when the rabbi started talking about the temple.
 
Here is a video of Max Blumenthal visiting Iranian aerospace park that show cases its missiles, drones and other high-tech weapons. It is very impressive when one looks at the circumstances/constraints under which it built and in a such a short time.
 
Israel is now asking Russia (Netanyahoo through Putin primarily) to convey to Iran that it is seeking peace. Looks like one last feeble attempt at deceiving Iran - and Russia, into thinking that Israel won't soon actually attack. But given the mobilization of arms, re-fueling vessels sent from the US to Israel and the Middle East, etc. no one who understands how Israel operates is buying it of course. Still, Putin made the following statement, even as Russia is now helping arm Iran with several heavy military transport plane deliveries belonging to the Russian Air Force arriving at Hamadan Air Base in the last week or so.

From RT:

“We continue our trust-based contacts with Israel and receive signals from the Israeli leadership asking us to convey to our Iranian friends that Israel, too, is committed to further de-escalation and is not interested in any form of confrontation,” the president said.

Moscow believes that diplomacy is the only way to resolve the issues linked to the Iranian nuclear program, the Russian leader said.

Earlier this week, Putin spoke by phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. They discussed a possible settlement to the Gaza war and US President Donald Trump’s peace proposals. The Iranian nuclear program and stabilizing the situation in Syria were also on the agenda, according to the Kremlin.

Is Netanyahu announcing an attack on Iran while Mossad is trying to destabilize the country?

Well the recent protests in Iran could be seen as a consequence of the deteriorating economic situation which has been deliberately provoked by the US. On the other hand, it seems a bit too much of a coincidence that they should erupt just as Netanyahu visits the US to cry about the Iranian threat once more. The good news is that they don't appear to be achieving the desired destabilisation, for now.

This is so symptomatic of a functional psychopath who, by killing a million defenseless women, men and children with advanced weapons donated by billions of dollars, claims that we still need to defend ourselves.

For him, the awakened Christian right in the USA is the Third Reich, i.e. awakening, consciousness is a deadly threat to them, that's why we have to control them (Charlie Kirk). But the most important thing, according to him, at this point is the fact that they have to buy TikTok and X, of course, is convinced that if they do this, the world will still not notice anything, because if something is not in their media, then according to them it never existed (e.g. Gaza). The parasitism of a country that "lies wherever it wants or wherever it likes" inspired me to ask Grok to try to estimate how many dollars the American Congress has given to Israel since 1963, converting it into gold at the prices of the years in which the donation took place.

Here's what he "spat out":

The US Congress has provided Israel with a total of approximately $331 billion in bilateral aid (mainly military and economic, in nominal values) from 1963 to 2025.Converting these donations into gold equivalents at average annual prices for the years in which they occurred (dividing the aid amount in a given year by the average price of an ounce of gold in USD for that year), the total amounts to approximately 1.16 billion troy ounces of gold. To give you an idea, this equates to approximately 36,066 metric tons of gold.

To transport all this gold, it would take 601 railway wagons with a capacity of 60 tons each.

I bet they got a lot more unofficially, but it's impossible to quantify. They operate this way in every Western European country, but these "donations" come in different forms and the information never reaches the public.

From Middle East Spectator, a Telegram channel based in Iran:

I've gotten many DMs asking me what I meant when I said the situation in Iran is 'calm' currently, so let me explain

When I say calm, I'm not comparing it to a random peaceful day. When I say calm, I mean it relative to other protests / riots we've seen throughout the years. As you probably know, Iran has gotten quite accustomed to civil unrest, and a few riots are not a big deal.

For example, during the 2009 riots, the 2022 Mahsa Amini riots, and even the 2018 fuel prices riots, there were dozens to HUNDREDS of casualties on both sides within weeks. They were FAR worse than what we see now, by a very long shot.

It may sound crazy, but one Basiji dying and a couple of cops getting injured is not nearly enough to be a significant threat to Iran's stability. Maybe the West can't comprehend this, but this is 'business as usual'.

In 2022, during the Mahsa Amini riots, criminal gangs not only attempted to seize police stations, in many cases they were actually successful, and they used the captured guns against security forces and emergency services. Far more buildings and cars were burnt out, daily life had basically come to a complete standstill.

The current situation is very different. The protests do not seem to be escalating beyond a certain degree. Most importantly, the 'numbers' are simply not there. There are not enough people protesting to pose a threat. Most incidents are isolated, the biggest gathering was in Tehran on the first day, and even that was a few thousand people at most.

Regarding the violence, we've mostly seen it in 2nd tier or even 3rd tier cities in historically volatile regions (Kurdistan, Ahvaz / Ilam, and other rural areas). There has not been notable violence in any of the largest cities, and the situation in Tehran is mostly calm besides a few groups of 10-50 troublemakers who come out at night to yell slogans.

Tehran matters the most, it's symbolic, everyone in Iran looks at what happens in Tehran. As long as we don't see entire streets full of people, with security forces vastly outnumbered, then we have not reached a dangerous situation yet.

Having said that, Iran's external and internal enemies will do whatever they can to escalate these protests into full-blown nationwide riots, because it's their only hope.
