Iran: What If Everything Goes As Planned?
The military operation against Iran has just begun, and already the legacy media spreads false narratives of impending failure and chaos. But what if everything is proceeding exactly as planned? The United States brings overwhelming opportunities and resources to this conflict that dwarf those of the Iranian regime. With superior technology, intelligence, and military might, America is positioned not just to engage but to dictate terms.

Critics point to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the driving force behind U.S. involvement. Yet Netanyahu is too small a player to truly steer President Trump. The main decisions emanate from Washington. Trump has openly declared his support for Israel and, in political calculations, hinted at leveraging the Israeli lobby's backing for electoral strength. This radical alignment with Israeli interests isn't blind loyalty but a calculated strategy to consolidate power in the medium term.
Trump has proven remarkably consistent. He genuinely seeks to make America great again by strategically seizing control of global resources. A key pillar is isolating his primary competitor, China, by cutting off its access to vital energy supplies. This undermines the PRC's foundation for economic and technological dominance. So far, it's working. Latin America is pivoting away from Beijing's influence under U.S. pressure. And with Iran likely neutralized as a resource provider to the communist regime, China's energy lifeline faces serious disruption.
