Iran’s Supreme Leader, Donald Trump, and Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu
EA on WION: Israel-Iran — Will A Tenuous Ceasefire Hold?
Trump Administration Scrambles Over Assessment of Limited Damage to Iran’s Nuclear Sites
I joined Times Radio’s Trump Report on Thursday for a 35-minute special on the state of the war/ceasefire between Israel and Iran, focusing on the threat of three egos: Iran’s Supreme Leader, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Donald Trump.
Host Maddie Hale and I begin with the Supreme Leader’s threat to Tuesday’s ceasefire with a speech that could antagonize Trump: “It’s one thing to take a victory lap when you have been pummelled for the past two weeks. It’s another to take a victory lap inviting folks to pummel you again.<"
I deep dive again into the story of how Trump switched within 48 hours from “bunker buster” bombing of Iran to declaring a ceasefire without consulting the Israelis: a story of how he was manipulated by Iran, Qatar, France, and members of his Administration.
I consider if the US and Iran will return to the negotiating table and the likely obstacle that Washington will demand Tehran give up its civil nuclear program — a demand that the Iranian regime will never accept.
And I carefully walk through the facts to cut through the spin on the US strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites.
What we are talking about is getting back to the nuclear agreement of 2015.
How did that unravel 10 years later with an Israeli war on Iran, joined by the US? Because of the egos of three people.
And who undermined the 2015 agreement? Donald Trump.

Iran Caused $3 Billion of Damage With Missile Strikes on Israel: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-26/iran-caused-3-billion-of-damage-with-missile-strikes-on-israel
“Israel has estimated the cost of damages incurred during its 12-day war with Iran at 10 billion shekels ($3 billion), with funds needed both to repair missile-hit buildings and pay compensation to local businesses. The calculations shared by the Israeli finance ministry and tax body this week indicate the extent to which Iran broke through Israel’s defenses during nearly two weeks of rocket fire…..Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich told a press conference that the total total cost of war could be as high as $12 billion………“This is the greatest challenge we’ve faced — there has never been this amount of damage in Israel’s history,” Bloomberg quoted the director general of Israel’s Tax Authority as saying.”
Actually over 30 commanders killed so far and confirmed, I posted in the other thread where iraninternational reporter sgoes over the list with great detail and profiles of hits.
