EA on International: US-Israel War on Iran — “Desperate” Trump’s Foul-Mouthed Threats of War Crimes

EA-Times Radio VideoCast: US-Israel War on Iran — Trump’s “Race Against Time” as His Lies Unravel

I joined Times Radio’s Philip Ingram on Tuesday to explore the latest developments in the US-Israel War on Iran and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine — and to link the two cases through the Trump camp’s lack of intelligence on both.

I explain how Donald Trump and his advisors have put themselves in the predicament of threatening the end of Persian civilization tonight, blustering because they do not have a Plan B for regime surrender.

  • Walking away from negotiations which could have limited Iran’s nuclear programme to engage in war two days later;
  • Failing to anticipate Iran’s retaliation;
  • Failing to anticipate Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz;
  • Failing to understand the nature of the Iranian regime, society, and culture.

Meanwhile, in “uncontained war” across the region with global economic consequences, the Trump camp has effectively abandoned Ukraine, halting weapons supplies and lifting sanctions on Russia.

But far from surrendering, Kyiv and its allies are not only resisting Russia’s invasion without the Trumpists — they are counter-attacking.
