A reminder for all American barflies: White House officials believe ‘the politics are a lot better’ if Israel strikes Iran first, Politico, By Dasha Burns and Nahal Toosi, 02/25/2026
Senior advisers to President Donald Trump would prefer Israel strike Iran before the United States launches an assault on the country, according to two people familiar with ongoing discussions.
These Trump administration officials are privately arguing that an Israeli attack would trigger Iran to retaliate, helping muster support from American voters for a U.S. strike.
The calculus is a political one — that more Americans would stomach a war with Iran if the United States or an ally were attacked first. Recent polling shows that Americans, and Republicans in particular, support regime change in Iran, but are unwilling to risk any U.S. casualties to achieve it. That means Trump’s team is considering the optics of how an attack is conducted in addition to other justifications — such as Iran’s nuclear program.
America is a war criminal empire. Period. Full stop. This is nothing new.
This America-Israeli aggression against Iran is yet another example of the USA and its allied crime partners committing the Supreme International Crime, as established by the Nuremburg Tribunal after World War 2.
The America-led aggression against Iraq, the phony War on Terrorism of the past generation, and other US/Western bombings and attacks are other examples.
But in typically Goebbelsian fashion, the more countries the American Empire and its allies actually attack or threaten, the more they invert reality and claim that they are virtuous “defenders of freedom and democracy” who are threatened by authoritarian evil-doers, who hate our freedoms.
The America Threat perpetually cries that it is threatened.
Yes that true. Rubio says USA was forced to bomb Iran .
We knew we couldnt control Israel "
So much fun to tell the truth and they dont realise .
Meanwhile US warships back off frightened they may be hit , the US embassy in Saudi is destroyed and the Straits are closed. Shipping insurance voided or tripled. If Iran going down its taken the world economy with it
Trump says considering sending the troops in. Boots on the ground baby !
