"Israeli officials" are allegedly "actively pushing" Rapin' Bombin' Golfin' Grampy to launch a major attack on Iran

The Trump administration is actively being pushed to launch a major attack on Iran’s energy infrastructure by Israeli officials, The New Arab reported Saturday, citing an “informed” Israeli source whose claim was shared on Israel’s Channel 12.

“According to the report, Israeli officials believe Iran’s energy infrastructure could be destroyed ‘within 24 hours,’ forcing Tehran into negotiations ‘from a position of severe weakness,’” The New Arab’s report reads. “One Israeli official cited by the broadcaster said: ‘If the regime does not fall, then at the very least it will become paralyzed.’”

President Donald Trump first threatened to destroy Iran’s energy infrastructure in late March, and again in early April, writing in a curse-laden message that unless Tehran fully re-opened the Strait of Hormuz – a critical shipping waterway through which 20% of the world’s oil trade flows – the United States would decimate Iran’s power plants.

Trump ultimately backed off of those threats, but according to reporting from The New Arab and The Cradle, is now under immense pressure from Israel to finally make good on his ultimatum, and despite the United States and Iran having agreed to a temporary ceasefire.

1. And he's bored with the way it's going, so yeah

2. He will do it. Epstein files are in bibi's hands.

Would not want them to come out

3. Keep doing that sh*t and Iran will be

motivated to make nuclear weapons.

4. But Israel is our only democratic ally in the region...

5. The tail is wagging the dog

When I read this, at first I thought, what kind of leverage does Israel have over America? Haven't we funded them to the tune of billions from the beginning? But, yes, it's the Epstein files. Of course.

6. A ceasefire is the last thing Netanyahoo wants.

Trump is so stupid, and weak-willed that he might just do it. Then he can claim victory and bring our soldiers home.
One last grand gesture of murder and mayhem might be perceived by him as a good exit strategy, allowing him to refocus all his attention on the ballroom, arch, DC golf courses and other self-aggrandizing and money making projects.

8. Trump is bored and wants to invade something new, so he'll probably bite to try to get Iran over with.

Hope that general who talked him out of nukes is still in the building.

9. Ya know - I'm really getting to dislike those guys.

But I suppose that when you have control of another country's military, and can use it, instead of risking your own, its hard to resist doing so.

10. This reports sounds so very highly reliable and utterly believable

Not.

11. Bibi and Donnie are the, "Menace To Society," twins

They have to stir up shit in any country that looks vulnerable, and with its own kind of peace.

Bombs away!
