That is the current narrative.
American and Israeli media are signaling a Netanyahu-Trump schism.

To put this in perspective, Israeli media reported that one of Waltz (the former NSA) infractions that contributed to his firing was his close coordination with Satanyahu on Iran strike options at a time when Trump was still mulling a diplomatic resolution.

⚡IBRAHIM TRAORÉ:

[How do you explain the decline of French influence in the region—not just in the Sahel, but also across West Africa?]

"I think they themselves contributed to their own decline.

Because they still view our relationship through a paternalistic lens.

Whenever we take an initiative—someone immediately says it’s Russia’s influence.

Everything we do—'it’s Russia.'

Why are they so blind?

So—Africans are incapable of developing ideas on their own?

Of inventing, innovating, taking initiative?

That’s exactly what we are fighting against.

As long as they see Africans as subhumans, incapable of thought or innovation, there will never be genuine friendship.

Times have changed.

And they must change too.

It’s the very perception they still have of Black people.

They need to let go of that.

Because treating us this way means they still see Black people as subhuman.

And that’s dangerous.

They must change their language."

[But how does this attitude reveal itself?]

"Just listen to their speeches.

Even the French President constantly says African youth are being 'influenced by Russia.'

He says it openly.

And Western media? They spend all their time lying.

Today, the AES is emerging as a model—and they can’t stop talking about Burkina Faso and AES all day long.

Every time, they spread misinformation to divide and manipulate youth.

But it doesn’t work anymore.

I think people are waking up.

And you too are victims of these same people.

Look at what they say about Russia.

Even today, some young Africans still believe their lies about World War II.

I heard someone say that right after the war, if you asked Europeans who won, they said 'Russia.'

Today, if you ask, they say 'the West.'

Through propaganda, they’ve rewritten history.

And they’ve done the same to African history.

They’ve manipulated everything—turned lies into accepted fact.

And now, many young Africans don’t even know what Africa has done.

Some don’t know that our grandparents were sent to the frontlines as cannon fodder—then killed like animals when they came back.

Do people know that when France tested its first atomic bomb, it placed Black soldiers within the lethal blast radius—just to see the effect?

Let’s bring out the archives.

What they’ve done to Africa—it’s horrifying.

We need to communicate all this, so young Africans wake up.

Too many still serve the imperialist message.

They repeat what they’re told—maybe because they’re paid, I don’t know.

But Africans must understand their history and wake up.

That’s our fight too."

LordAdam16:
The counterpoint is that Trump is putting on a show for the Arab audience.
The rift, or at least the appearance of one, serves to downplay his culpability in Satanyahu's continued war crimes.

By July/August, he could flip the script on everything.
Houthis, Iran, Gaza, SA nuclear negotiations.

Be that as it may, Trump is using this opportunity to reinforce the persona that he is beholden to no one.
He is also undoubtedly relishing the opportunity to publicly stick it to Satanyahu.

The US Navy is carrying out sea trials of its next gen jet-to-submarine conversion program.
The F-18 jet-sub is yet to meet predefined mission objectives and performance goals as the program faces enormous and persistent challenges.
Two prototypes were declared nonrecoverable in the past week.
The Houthis have been valuable partners in creating the correct test conditions to evaluate the jetsub's operational readiness.

LordAdam16:
Mossad gang do not care about the outcome of the war.
Iraq and Afghanistan were success stories for Israel. Saddam is gone and Iraq/Afghanistan directly led to HTS toppling Assad.
Modest AD protection in Iraq and Syria are gone, giving the IAF unprecedented operational freedom.

The national interests of the US and Israel do not always align.
The only inconvenience for Israel wrt Iran is that they'll suffer direct consequences.
Still, that would not dissuade the war hawks. They've sacrificed lives and limbs shadowing insurgents in Gaza.
Dead Israelis is fair game if the objective of a hot war in Iran is achieved.

In academia, you'll find researchers and savants who spend decades of their lives researching a topic, chasing a breakthrough.
The same phenomenon exists in foreign policy circles.
War in Iran is a lifelong goal for folks like Satanyahu, Graham, most of the top echelon at Mossad, and co.
Graham was heavily in favor of pushing Ukraine to take on Russia in an unwinnable war.
They looked at Russia, its capabilities, a war right on its border, and said f*ck it.
What makes you think anything about the operational challenges of prosecuting a war in Iran is going to give them pause?

LordAdam16:
Over the last ten days, Israel and Five Eyes Plus have been carrying out sabotage operations against Iranian industrial targets.

Their war planners want to take out a significant percentage of Iran's dual-use industrial capacity to limit its ability to replenish stocks when the shooting starts.

I'm at the point where I'd be pleased with a hot war.
It'll cleanse Iran's peacetime counterintelligence apparatus. It'll force Iran to acquire a nuke. It'll shatter the foundation of Israel's security.

The odds of a war is currently at <40%.
But as I said in the past, Mossad will do everything possible to trigger a War.
I hope they get their wish.

The comedians in Ukraine say they have killed over 950,000 soldiers and have destroyed almost 11,000 Russian tanks 😂

freakyamanda:
Well, North Korea was in Kursk. Unlike the West and Ukraine, Russia later owned up to their presence. See the result; complete destruction of Ukrainian forces in Kursk.
US and allies should just stick to playing hide and seek the way they are doing. Any attempt at full invasion of Iran will destroy the battered American society.

Ordinary Yemen they have lost 20 reaper drones costing millions each. An attempted Iranian invasion will cost times 1 thousand in money, reputation and lives. I am even hoping for it but I know Trump will not do it. He is a coward.

shoodboi2:
Imagine categorizing massive bombing campaigns executed using B2 bombers, tomahawk missiles, and aircraft carriers as "limited". These bombers and ships are the most advanced and lethal platforms the US can use against a country. The US has nothing better than them. Absolutely nothing. And yet, he calls it "limited."

dermmy:
Imagine U.S had to be using B-2 spirit to bomb the Houthis cause it fears those guys air defence systems. Imagine how many drones those guys have downed. They attacked US aircraft carrier last week with anti ship missile. US is still furious with Iran over the Houthis. I bet it with my balls Trump is just bluffing he won't attack Iran. The consequences of that stupid action will be too much for the so called super power who is still finding it hard to defeat the Houthis. US is sucking itself into another quagmire in the Middle East gradually.

US does not even need to dialogue with Iran they should just start the bombing as usual. Why do you need to dialogue with Iran when you can bomb the country back to the stone age? Remember it is Trump that is calling for dialogue making bombing threats.

That has always been western nations pattern.
They will make 500b from you, only give you 2b while regularly putting it on media how they spend another 3b as Aids, NGOs, Scholarships etc back on your country.
This is your money they are giving back to you as a fraction of super mega profit they have squeezed out from you.
They will use another 5b to keep sponsoring and making sure a puppet us always your president by splashing the money to manipulate your elections.
All in all, they have only spent back 10b out of 500b they have milked from your economy back to you.
After that?
They start padding their use-less less productive economy with the massive profit they have made from you in GDPs, strong currency and huge trade deficit against your economy with them

If Trump is behind the attacks they will not do anything like last time when he took out Solemani.They 'begged to be allowed to fire cruise missiles to a particular base after having issued a 30 minute warning.At least they saved face and the Mullahs came out looking strong.With Israel Hamas war ,their facade of invincibility was blown to smithereens.
Middle East has a strong emphasis on saving male honour and Qisas ( revenge). Brothers and father will murder their sister if she dishonours them, for example by
_refusing to get married to a dinosaur they have chosen for her and received dowry
_Not being a virgin before marriage

It's all about their honour,saving face and not being humiliated.

Israel existence is a humiliation to the Muslim world all over,it's still a sovereign Jewish state smack in their midst when they have gone all out on a limb to eradicate it unsuccessfully.
If Iran detonated a nuclear bomb in Jerusalem the worldwide Muslim world will celebrate for thousands of years despite majority of the dead being their fellow Muslims.

Yemen shut down the Red Sea despite not having a navy and an air force. So what makes you think Iran, which is more powerful than Yemen, won't be able to pull off such move?

Your fellow Russian lover, corrected you the first time.. I don't have the time dude.

The above examples I used many may have gotten support via military aid and economical aid, my "MAIN POINT" from all my assertions here was "MUTUAL DEFENCE PACT". which your beloved Iran lacks. You can spin it anyhow you like.. I don't care🤷

You think WW3 is call of duty, Russia a nuclear power is getting bombed with weapons made from The US and sent by the US, it has not triggered WW3 you think bombing Iran would?? Like I said you are way out of your depths.

The Arab world this the Arab world that, Since the bombing of Gaza which Arab nation has taken any solid action, Egypt sealed its borders with Gaza, a pro Russian guy tried correcting you but it seems you would rather wallow in ignorance.

Is it not the same "Arab nations" that helped the Jews along with the US to intercept the missiles barrage from Iran?? Is it not the same "Arab nations" which are hosting US and western military installations.

How come will the same Arab nations, most of them dependent on the US for political and military support, turn around and support IRAN against the US chief ally in the region.

The funny think about your whole argument is that IRAN is not even ARAB, if you are a good student of history you will know that there's animosity between IRAN and most of the ARAB nations.. I ask you the other time to name the Arab nations willing to go to war with Israel on behalf of Iran??, you were mute😂, Just give me two arab nations and state your reasons, You are busying writing about ideologies.

You said Agreements, legal binding arrangements (the Abraham Accords) is mere political talk, isn't that a cliche when your own argument is base on a single fantasy "ideology" Arab hatred for the Jews.

All you wrote can be sumed as tales by moonlight

You are very wrong. Saudi Arabia and other ME countries as Qatar,Bahrain & Kuwait know Iran is the threat to them. If Israel or USA attacks Iran , they will destroy the oil exporting ports of their neighbouring countries. "If I can't export oil, so shall you not" . Iran will also close the Strait of Hormuz where a huge percentage of oil transits through. That's Iran expressly stated threat.. These countries hate Israel and would like it gone, but they won't get into a foolish fight with Israel America on behalf of Iran.
Saudi Arabia funded the first Muslim atomic bomb,if they want it Pakistani will send them one . Iran going nuclear is no big deal to the Saudi,they can quickly get one from Pakistan. Any law that bans sale of nuclear warheads apart from sanctions threat?

Israel has fought multiple wars in the past, there is nothing uniting the Arab/Muslim world against Israel, that ship has long sailed man. This is 2025, not the early 1990s
the "Abraham Accords" means Western leaning folks like Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, iraq, Morocco, Thee united Arab Emirates and Bahrain Would always be at peace with Israel..
Please educate us which Arab/Muslim nations will go to war on behalf of Iran?? Syria?? another proxy lost by the supposedly influential Iran??

Let me remind you before Iran supposedly influence in the middle-east, there was a certain Egypt a once major Arab power in the region, then rose up a Saddam hussein led Iraqi, before Iran, they have being major players in the middle-east, What influence does Iran holds?? sponsoring terrorism and arming its proxies?? It can't even help its proxies they are getting decimated by the Jews..

@the bolded, All you wrote are mere speculations.. I work with lay down military pacts, legally binding arrangements not fictional bedtime stories.. I work with facts not emotions..

there's a huge difference between throwing your weight behind someone and fighting along with the person..Iran may get political, economical and military aid from China and Russia, just the same way Russia is currently getting from China and Iran in it's war in Ukraine, Iran will always get supports from the enemies of the US, but they will never put boots on the ground for Iran.. This the ball of contention, don't me wrong.

Russia and especially China putting boots on the ground for an Islamic State of Iran will only happen in your make believe fictional world, but fiction sadly isn't reality.

Sorry sir, but you are clearly out of your depths as regarding middle-eastern politics

It not about confidence, it what's on ground, you make your points. The US activated Article 5 after the 9/11 attacks and brought Nato into Afghanistan.

The US have allies with legal frameworks binding aggrement to have nations support her in case of conflict.. Japan and South korea had similar pacts with the US.

We just got confirmation of Russia activating its own with North Korea, China has a Ironclad one with North Korea.
When AU threatened to attack the sahel states, The first thing they did was quickly draft a mutual defence pact to come to each others defence when attacked.

What dose Iran have?? What aggrement does she have with any military power to come to her aid when attacked??

Who will come to Iran's aid?? Russia? China??

Iraq fought alone.
Liyba fought alone
Serbia fought alone
Afghanistan fought alone
Greneda fought alone
Panama fought alone
Ukraine is fighting alone
Iran will sadly fight alone😢

Let me educate you see fighting war is beyond exchanging bullets and blowing bombs there must be a good relationship between your allies to support you during war in one way or the other

According to Sun Tzu He said
An intelligent military win before going to battle

Before Russia started the war with Ukraine they have already have a plan with China to support them in case of any possible outcome of war so that's why they are doing war drills together, if not because of China Russia wouldn't have overcome the sanctions

All the Sahed missiles they are giving Russia to fight Ukraine is to allied themselves Russia
So that's what is giving Iran the gut that they can fight US

You said Russia is backing iran with what? Are you Lerner?

Without Russia do you think Iran can have nuclear weapons
