I was just listening to Tore Maras's live post mortem on the conflict since she appears to have had some behind the scenes information on what was going on last week, essentially predicting that there would be a quick peace right after the strike and that Trump would reign in Israel. A lot of this is what most speculated from a motivation perspective, and some is rather interesting. Here is the broadcast:
https://rumble.com/v6v9wk7-no-wwwiii-but-.......html I have tried to best summarize the bullet points below:
1. Gaza was the reason that Israel wanted to do this strike both now and when they tried it last year. More particularly this year the noise on Iran ramped up after the March 13, 2025 UN Investigation concluded that Israel committed not just War Crimes, but GENOCIDAL ACTS that are going to be harder and harder for the international community to ignore. What better than a war to get people distracted by that? Particularly if they can get the US involved in a protracted war, which is what Bibi and the neocons obviously wanted. She had said on the prior show that Israel went as far as to threaten using nukes if Trump did not use the bunker busters.
2. The US also saw it necessary, not because of nukes, but due to the opening of the new rail line into Iran that went into operation in May. This gives China a way to bypass US maritime blockades to energy from Iran. She all but implied that a US naval blockade of China is being planned by the US (otherwise why do something to keep that strategy more effective). I think that would be a freaking disaster, but it sounds like something the US would do in a desperate push to keep its hegemony. I mean just look at the last 2 weeks.
3. She said North Korea is the country that hacked Israel's Iron Dome for Iran. She also said that Russia, Iran, and China had all been using North Korea as a model to bypass sanctions and essentially had become the black market arms dealer outside western influence. Once Iran is taken out of the equation North Korea will work on behalf of China to replace Iran as chief weapons vendor to Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Hamas and within Israel providing solid fuel rockets, electromagnetic pulse devices and hacking to defeat Israeli defenses and put the country into chaos. Again they hope to suck the US into that both on the Red Sea front and the Persian Gulf front in the aftermath of what happens in Iran.
4. China was never going to help Iran. They are not going to do anything to provide direct intervention outside of their territory, and that Russia was essentially Russia first as well.
5. Iran's fate: She all but implied what Alex Jones implied yesterday, that the US had control of what is left of the central authority in Iran now. She said Iran would break up into regions through economic collapse and civil unrest with China influencing the east to try to protect its corridor, the US influencing the south towards the gulf states (with an Iraq like rebuilding operation), Turkey in the east to try to block Kurdish influence, and Russia would exert its influence in the North to protect the north south route to shipping routes. I really do hope she is buying more US-Israel hopium on this as this would be horrible for the people of Iran. She also claimed that the bombs did take out the nuclear material (or more specifically whatever it was supposed to take out - she was not specific but I am guessing donated nukes - she had said they were going after actual nukes on Saturday though did not say where they got them but sort of impllied China or North Korea in this show). Again, I am not sure I buy this either, as I am not sure exactly how they hell they would know if crap was being moved out, unless perhaps they were tracking the radiological signatures of the trucks exiting and they were not there (I know we DO have satellites that can detect suitcase nukes from space from a family friend via a former CIA agent who had alerted us to the anthrax attacks only a few days after the 9/11 attacks - I was told they have in fact found them in the US before with one particular incident on a large estate owned by a Muslim).
6. She says things are not so great between Russia and Turkey / China / North Korea. Russia is pissed that China is in the process of building a pipeline that BYPASSES Russia through Turkey to Europe. Not sure where those hydrocarbons would be sourced from. Central asia? Qatar? Saudi Arabia? Iran? The rail line they are building from Beijing all the way to Europe would bypass Russia as well which they apparently were not too please about. So she says Russia is going to go after Turkey, stepping up to support Kurdish militias, etc. and bleed them dry. She repeated what she has been saying for years, Erdogan is goign to be taken out and she would not want to be in a meeting with him because they could literally drop something from space on his head.
I wonder to what extent her views are colored by her Greek Orthodox Christian background since there are prophecies of Erdogan being suceeded by a guy who basically rules badly and makes decisions that lead him to close the Dardennelles and provokes an invasion with Russia. And, she has also said Erdogan would be taken out, soon after that Putin would be replaced and World War III would beging in a clash between Greece and Turkey. So those scenarios would be consistent. She could be fitting her forecasts to that narrative.
7. She basically says that Russia will eventually turn on China the way Russia turned on Hitler (well it helped Hitler invaded his ass...although I know historians debate as to who was planning to betray who first - both were making plans) in WWII. But not in a kinetic way. Just acting in its own interests described above that happen to coincide with the West's interests. I have thought this was possible for years, but given the US's actions over the last 3 years, I don't know if I can see this happening now. But I guess it is conceivable if we are talking all covert actions like attacking the railway and pipeline construction using Kurdish proxies. Sort of like China using North Korea vs the US and Israel. She also had said if the US had gone in too hard in Iran, China was going to release China with a big missile incident in the Pacific to divide US efforts, this the need for the forces in Guam as well as the quick work towards a deal with Iran.
8. The war with China will be economic not kinetic. Taiwan war will not happen. The rift between Taiwan and China is largely contrived (she has said that before). The US wants to weaken them economically to keep them in check. I have a feeling she is being a little bit too optimistic that can be done without doing greater damage to the US though. I would argue we depend on China now more than they depend on us.
9. China in the process of building this rail project has integrated Chinese software which also has been incorporated into NATO railways in Romania and Bulgaria. Turkey has also been cooperating on sattelite projects where software has been invaded. So she says this could seriously compromise NATO given the sophistication of the Chinese malware and internet of things. So the US is going to let Russia take Turkey out. Again, the US and Russia have common interests here even though Turkey is a NATO member.
10. North Korea will be mega sanctioned to a degree that Russia and China will not be able to save them - (China is going to claim plausible deniability as to using Chinese sattlite stations in Turkey to go after Israel). It will economically collapse and be unified through economic aid etc. from the South.
11. Like North Korea, Israel will be thrown under the bus like Saddam Husein, Ukraine, etc. She said they might not even have a state anymore, and that the deal they made with the US over the Iran war might have even been that they have some borders remaining when the international community goes after them with a vengence over the genocide.
Like I said this is interesting, but I also see it as a pontential psyop for the justification of what just happened to feed to the MAGA base etc. I mean she did work as a contractor who had the CIA as a client and worked at psychological operations. Also could be true as well, or 70% true with disinformation strategically sown in. To me this whole thing was inexcusable for whatever reason given. No country should be trying to actively sabotage another country to cut off their energy etc. A hegemon does not have a right to remain a hegemon; they should act honestly. I could see where in one calculus you have to prevent China from becoming the hegemon to prevent them from making the entire world into this surveillance society. But there are other, decentralized ethical ways of doing that. And to some extent, I wonder to which a lot of that is just fear mongering.
More importantly, I don't think the kinetic war is off the table. If people in the US actually THINK that, it explains why the world is as dangerous as it is right now. Honestly after seeing Iran and Syria collapse (well Iran still remains to be seen ...) through acts of blatant terrorism, if I were China and Russia I would be having serious discussions of my own first strike on the US to decapitate it first before they do it to me. Even a coordinated first strike when command and control is ambiguous during a potential US civil war they could stoke. Would not be hard now. Like in those Dmitri Duduman and other prophecies (Henry Gruver, AA Alan, Banjamin Baruch, etc.) of the US succumbing to a nuclear sneak attack in the future. That might be the 4D plan being revealed and warned about in a way people could best receive. And I could see it happening now.

Iranian rocket and drone attacks on Haifa have dealt an unprecedented blow to the vital infrastructure of the Israeli regime, effectively excluding this strategic port from international trade.
