Netanyahu Plans to Attack Iran and Is Plotting to Lure Trump Into the War By attacking Iran, with or without the United States, Israel's prime minister seeks to turn the October 7 calamity into an epic strategic triumph. Will the Saudis help Trump avert this? Haaretz In the first scenario, Washington and Jerusalem clash when Donald Trump concludes that Benjamin Netanyahu is manipulating him into entering an unnecessary war on Iran, despite the U.S. president's intentions to negotiate with Tehran and seal a nuclear deal. In the second scenario, the United States and Israel collaborate in attacking Iran's nuclear sites, following a Trump ultimatum that Iran must totally disband its military nuclear program "Libya-style." In the third scenario, Israel attacks Iran's nuclear facilities without direct American cooperation but with its implicit consent, following Tehran's refusal to cave to Trump's coercive diplomacy and threats. For Iran, the dilemma is excruciating. Refusal to assent to Trump's maximalist demands in order to avert a national humiliation and keep the ayatollahs' regime stable could trigger a war that would dent both the regime's pride and its stability. The Iranians can preempt this with a supervised disarmament initiative that Trump finds attractive enough, but this is unlikely to happen. ... Meaning it is a setup just like Iraq, Libya, and Syria. Actually, Libya was attacked by the US after they agreed to dismantle their nuclear/WMD programs and normalized diplomatic relations with the US. The US and its coalition set up jihadist militia training bases around Sirte in Eastern Libya and the CIA set up an arms distribution center in Benghazi in a fake State Department embassy annex. The same deal was offered to Syria but was rejected for obvious reasons.
