Trump is Panicking

Trump says no more attacks will be made by Israel' on Iran's South Pars gas field Trump has criticised the Israeli raid on Iran's South Pars field, which prompted Tehran's attacks on energy sites across the Gulf. In a statement on his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote: "Israel, out of anger for what has taken place in the Middle East, has violently lashed out at a major facility known as South Pars Gas Field in Iran. A relatively small section of the whole has been hit. "The United States knew nothing about this particular attack, and the country of Qatar was in no way, shape, or form, involved with it, nor did it have any idea that it was going to happen. Unfortunately, Iran did not know this, or any of the pertinent facts pertaining to the South Pars attack, and unjustifiably and unfairly attacked a portion of Qatar's LNG Gas facility. NO MORE ATTACKS WILL BE MADE BY ISRAEL pertaining to this extremely important and valuable South Pars Field."

Trump warns of Iran massive' attacks if it attacks Qatar's energy sites again More from Trump.

He said Israel will not be attacking the South Pars gas field unless Iran "unwisely decides to attack a very innocent, in this case, Qatar".

In such a scenario, the US, "with or without the help or consent of Israel, will massively blow up the entirety of the South Pars Gas Field at an amount of strength and power that Iran has never seen or witnessed before," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

"I do not want to authorize this level of violence and destruction because of the long term implications that it will have on the future of Iran, but if Qatar's LNG is again attacked, I will not hesitate to do so," he added.

His latest statement on Truth Social suggested the US could abandon the situation altogether, leaving other countries to deal with the consequences of his and Israel's unprovoked aggression.

"I wonder what would happen if we 'finished off' what's left of the Iranian Terror State, and let the Countries that use it, we don't, be responsible for the so called 'Strait?' That would get some of our non-responsive 'Allies' in gear, and fast!!! President DJT," he wrote

The Iranians, descendants of ancient Persia who brought the world chess and distinct musical syncopations, are not a stupid people.

Years ago an Iranian professor who studied and taught political science in Texas would appear on al-Jazeera's "Inside Story" from Iran. He was, incidentally, a loyal Dallas Cowboys fan. People like him advise Tehran about America and our election cycles.

Like 2024, 2026 may also be decided by America and Israel's Islamophobic misadventures in the Middle East.

Iran's multi-decade isolation by the West and constant threat of attack from Israel have informed their military-industrial complex to stockpile drones, rockets, and missiles. Iran produces so many drones that they sell them to Russia.

Without access to the numbers, I daresay Iran can probably continue launching drones and rockets at targets throughout the Middle East and outlast US and Israeli interceptor systems. Israel already reported a shortage of Arrow-3 interceptors.

Iran will continue counterattacking to hurt the Western economies (which they were kicked out of anyway).

Nota Bene: The Bosnian Serb Army was initially running roughshod over the Bosnian Army in the 1992-95 Civil War, suffering fewer casualties than the Bosniaks. After the BiH Army was armed with Western armaments and the Bosnian Croats allied with them, Bosnian Serb casualties started to mount and the war started to become unpopular with Serbian families back home. This helped bring them to the Dayton Peace Accords (DPA).

As a DPA Compliance Monitor, I met a Bosnian Serb military veteran who rolled up his shirt and showed me several bullet hole scars on his torso, just like the Preacher in the film Pale Rider. I was astounded he was alive. This Serb was the angriest man I ever came across during my several missions to the Balkans.

"Look! Look at me! And still the Bosnian Serb government doesn't send me money or someone to help me after all the promises they made to me and everything I went through! Look at my hut! See how I live? Ptooey!"

President Trump says the US did not know about the Israel's plants to strike the South Pars gas field. But there is other reporting here in Washington this evening, suggesting that the Trump administration signed off on the Israeli air strike.

So, where's the truth in this situation? Did the US know? Did the US say yes, go ahead and strike South Pars? Or is the US in the dark, as Trump is saying?

So, which is it? Did we know and not realize the blowback? Or do we have no control/knowledge of Israel's actions?

Either way is a damning condemnation of this administration.

Or do we have no control/knowledge of Israel's actions?

I'll take that one for $100...
