“Iran-Israel round 2; Diplomacy and war preparations”
1 July 2025, Alexander Mercouris, 37 minutes
Trump’s decision to bomb Iran on June 12th committed America to Israel’s regime-change war against Iran. The debate now in Iran is whether or not to accept the full protection — including their nuclear umbrellas — that Russia and China have offered to Iran.
Trump’s decision could thus turn out to have led to WW3, in order for America to back Israel 100% against what had previously been the mere possibility that Iran would become able to defend itself against Israel (including its nuclear weapons). Now Iran knows that it’s up against both Israel and America. Mercouris discusses both the pros and the cons, from Iran’s standpoint, of accepting the Russian-Chinese offers. The alternative for Iran is to accede to the Trump-Netanyahu demands, which would require regime-change in Iran (increasingly unlikely now because Trump’s bombs on June 12-13 unified Iranians against the United States). However, for Iran to instead accept the Russian-Chinese offers would require changes in the Iranian Constitution. This is decision-time in Iran, forced upon it because of Trump’s decision to back Israel 100%, for regime-change in Iran.
Mercouris also discusses a third option that he says is being considered in Iran: to continue on its own its nuclear program but to terminate the JCPOA and IAEA inspections. Mercouris says that the IAEA’s head, Rafael Grossi, has warned Iran that the IAEA would then overtly support the Trump-Netanyahu side, which would greatly increase the likelihood of all-out war by Israel and America against Iran. I therefore dismiss that option, regardless of whether some Iranians really ARE supporting it.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.

“Russia and China Becoming Iran’s Protector” is a ruse!
Firstly, China is a Judeo-Marxist country, and the second biggest importer of Israeli products, (after the United States) and China is also the number one exporters in the world to Israel.
On Thursday 19th of June, at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), Vladmir Putin stated that Israel is ‘almost a Russian-speaking country’ and “those who question Russia’s commitment to its partners are “provocateurs” attempting to stir discord”
Russia and China are comrades with Israel, as Iran found out, during the Israeli terrorist attack on Iran, on the 13th June 2025, after the Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, was summoned to met Vladimir Putin on the 23rd June in Moscow.
An Iranian – Israeli ceasefire was announced soon after, simply to save Israel, as the Iranians were well on the way to destroying Israel, with their hypersonic missiles, until (the Jewish Kabbalah red thread talisman wearing) Vladimir Putin saved Israel, and Russia, China, the United States and the European Union, are all complicit in the genocide in Gaza.
The World is uncannily analogous to George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, with three major powers of Oceania (Anglo American Empire) Eurasia (Russia) and Eastasia (China) and pay no attention to the Jew behind the curtain!
The worldwide Covid-19 Psychological Military Operation, with Oceania (Anglo American Empire) Eurasia (Russia) and Eastasia (China) all singing from the same hymn sheet, should be proof enough, that we all live in a faux world, analogous to an Orwellian dystopia.

So gtucker (aka. “I am not steve_brown”) tells me to “éist do bhéal” — “listen to your own mouth” — which means ‘shut your mouth’ and then asks me “Now tell us about Oswald”
You really are as imbecilic as I suspected, gtucker!
“It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.”
