So it was a misdirection

The US attacks the key Iranian nuclear sites, and now many consequences may follow. Among the possibilities is a chance for great progress in the Middle East.

The Islamic Republic — the mafia that hijacked Iran 46 years ago — spent billions to fund jihadist militias around the Middle East and pursue nuclear weapons amid silly games. Now, very likely, that whole project lies in ruins while the Iranian people suffer under economic sanctions. How much longer?

In my TV appearances over the past two weeks, I consistently warned against a delay in the US reaction to the current crisis that would drag out the war – and also noted that the very idea of it could be a misdirection. So, well, it was. It now becomes very clear to anyone who needed evidence of the obvious that Israel and the US were aligned all along on Iran. Now that the US has attacked Iran’s nuclear sites, the question is what next.

The Iranian regime had warned that if America attacked, the US bases in the region would be targets. They threatened to block the Strait of Hormuz, creating a global oil crisis. If that happens, then this war will move to a new phase in which the goal of the US is to topple the Islamic Republic and free the people of Iran. I’m not sure the regime will be stupid enough to pursue that avenue.

More likely, I think, is that talks will commence after the US (and Israel) declare victory.
