[HermesOfTheThresholdSubstack] The real objectives of the Iran war are multifaceted and have nothing to do with "defeating the Iranian regime" or "removing its nuclear weapons potential." Its objectives are:
- to level Iran permanently so it isn't considered a threat for upcoming Greater Israel investment,
- to shift oil transportation from Hormuz to pipelines through Israel,
- to hurt China's access to oil (it gets 50% of its energy through Hormuz),
- to game the stock market both up and down so Trump and his inner circle can make billions through shortdated options, and, unfortunately, potentially
- to cause an energy crisis leading to COVID-level lockdowns / agricultural shortages leading to a preapproved CBDC "solution".
| The writer confuses primary and secondary goals. Or perhaps existential and not existential for Israel. No worries, though: the Israelis are keenly aware of the difference between existential and luxury concerns; the oil for China thing is one of President Trump’s objectives, not Israel’s. On the other hand, President Trump is doing his best to avoid an energy crisis by both increasing American production and that of underproducing suppliers like Venezuela, thus with one stroke increasing world supply and cutting prices to hobble rogue producers like Iran and Russia. |
It’s going perfectly for them and popular opinion no longer matters.
One may note that the Israel stock market is basically at an all time high (finance.yahoo.com/quote… ),

Iran's hyped "retaliation" is a total joke. |
