Officials did not offer details about the closed-door discussions between US CJCS General Dan Caine and IDF Chief of Staff General Eyal Zamir. On 31 Dec 2025, the IDF High Command issued an alert to its citizens about an imminent three-front war against the West Bank, Lebanon, and Iran. After General Zamir returned from his visit to the US, Israel's Army Radio reported that the IDF chief predicted a US attack on Iran will likely happen within a timeframe ranging from two weeks to two months.

As the first American pontiff, Pope Leo XIV, and the editors of the Economist.com both predicted, 2026 will be a bloody "Year of Mars."

This report makes you wonder who is in charge of US foreign policy and what provocations the US and Israel will initiate to justify waging war on Iran. The nefarious Trumpf junta showed zero regard for the nearly 72,000 Muslims killed in Gaza by the IDF. Moreover, ICE has been deporting Iranian nationals back to Tehran wholesale, so arguments that Dummkopf Trumpf cares about Iranian lives falls flat on its face.

Iran is a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and allowed IAEA inspectors into their nuclear facilities, but Israel never signed the NPT and does not allow any international access to their nuclear sites.

Israel, now both a Parish state and a Rogue nation, has been described as the "greatest source of instability in the Middle East." Link:
Benjamin Netanyahu is Warmonger

International arrest warrants for war crimes issued by the ICC remain active for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and former IDF General Yoav Gallant. The Istanbul Public Prosecutor in Turkiye issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and 30 other suspected Israeli war criminals.

Indictments are merely allegations. To ensure a fair trial, Messrs Netanyahu and Gallant must both be presumed innocent until both are proven guilty at an international tribunal to be held for them in the Hague at a future date.
