Days ago, Iran's South Pars Gas Field was attacked, and Trump had categorically boasted about having taken out only the military defense factor around the installation, but not the gas facilities. He later gloated more about carrying out further strikes on the gas field 'for fun' if Iran retaliates.
I read the headlines today and what struck me as something sinister regarding Netanyahu's claim, dead or alive, that the attack on the Iranian gas field was solely the work of Israel. Now, that totally runs counter to what Trump said days earlier. Trump categorically and undoubtedly knew about the strike, which he is now trying to deny any knowledge of.
Trump has been caught lying now about not being aware of Israel's strike on the Iranian gas field, which is a complete about turn regarding his remarks about going to bomb that gas field further 'for fun' if needed. Perhaps, under advice and realization now that the strike on the Iranian gas field is going to elicit a retaliation by Iran, which is going to cripple the global economy, including the USA. Trump is attempting to use a lie to cover a previous lie, knowing that such an attack on Iran's energy infrastructure is going to have a catastrophic response. The damage had been done, and Trump is now caught in a trap he cannot extricate himself.
Whether the bombing is done by the USA or Israel does not matter. The Middle East is going up in flames. Now the blame game is starting, and fractures are appearing between USA and Israel. Netanyahu is saying that the USA entered the war not under his coercion, while the whole world and the USA people are saying that Israel forced the USA into the war. None of this is more clearly exposed than by Marco Rubio when he said that the USA had been forced to enter the war after Israel decided to bomb Iran.

Scott Ritter minced no words saying that Israel is a cancer that must be eradicated in order for the world to have peace. Very strong words from someone who has seen the evilness of some countries around the world.
I always wonder why Hitler hated the Jews so much, but despite that, did not finish what he set out to do, which many around the world are asking? The Israeli cancer has been allowed to grow so malignant that the world is now finding it difficult to find a cure for it. From wanting a pound of flesh, the Jews are asking to be allowed to commit genocide against all other races so that they can survive to the exclusion of others. Antisemitism is no surprise for me, after seeing Israel committing such cruel behavior that most of the world cannot tolerate.
Trump now talks about considering winding down the war against Iran like switching off the lights in his White House office. It is now not for him to decide at this stage. Iran has refused to take up a ceasefire call, and Trump is trying to put across the boasting that his switching off of the war power does not include a ceasefire. What is he blaring about?
We know about his boast that he can just take over the Iran's Kharg Island oil terminal, but at what cost and would the Iranian just say thank you. Iran will rain missiles on every oil terminal, desalination plants, nuclear plants in the Middle East that have any connection to the USA. Oil terminals, desalination plants and nuclear facilities in Israel will be legitimate targets as well. These infrastructures are now unprotected by patriot missiles, THAAD batteries and whatever sling shot that have been rendered blind and ineffective. Iran has so far done what they said they will do. Trump and Israel better hope they do not go too far in attacking Iran's infrastructures.
By the way, Trump has been gloating about having taken out Iran's air force and naval force and rendered them useless. Many people have been saying that Iran did not have an air force nor a naval force in the first place. So, what is Trump boasting about? Like his great invasion of Venezuela that was given to him on a platter.
Iran is not Afghanistan, not to talk about being another Venezuela.
