The Very Essence of the Iran War Is a Strategic Attempt by the US and Israel to Crush the British-allied Globalist Countries

26 Apr 2026 — US President Trump is being manipulated by Iran in ceasefire negotiations. On 25 April 2026, the Iranian and US delegations reconvened in Pakistan, the negotiation site, but Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi did not negotiate with the US side, only spoke with some Pakistani officials, and returned home. Iran is making a fool of the US. Although it was expected that Trump and Israel were to be angry and restart the war against Iran, they are now maintaining the ceasefire. The US media are touting that “the US and Israel have only destroyed half of Iran’s heavy weapons. Iran still has a large amount of heavy weapons hidden away.”

Some people may comment on that, such as, “See? Iran is winning. The US and Israel are on the verge of defeat and are cornered, so they have no choice but to maintain the ceasefire even though Iran is making a fool of them. Trump and Netanyahu are finished. Serves them right.” In fact, those left-wing liberals and Islamists in the US, Europe, and Japan are rejoicing.

However, is it really true that the US and Israel are being defeated by Iran?  To me, it seems like Trump and Israel are intentionally creating this situation as part of a “weakly dominant strategy”. Netanyahu announced his prostate cancer, which he had been hiding for two years, at this timing. He’s trying to make himself look weak. Trump was nearly shot during a banquet at the presidential palace attended by the media. Again, like the previous assassination attempt, I question whether this was a natural occurrence. Netanyahu has cancer, and Trump looks weak, having been shot. Isn’t that the intention?

The Iran War [since 28 February 2026] is being orchestrated by Israel, which is manipulating Trump. Since 9/11, Israel (Likud-affiliated) has ousted the British-affiliated allies [i.e. those globalists] who dominated the world’s most powerful US intelligence network (the organization responsible for managing the US hegemony and its war programs), and has used its intelligence capabilities to repeatedly attack Iran itself, starting in 2023 when Trump’s return to power was confirmed, after crushing Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Assad regime in Syria, which are under Iran’s influence. The massive humanitarian crimes in the Gaza War are also intended to systematically destroy the humanitarianism on which the British hegemony has been based (the media and liberals who espouse humanitarianism are tools of the British). In the quarter-century-long covert struggle between Israel and the British-affiliated allies, those British-allies, in the era before Trump, had manipulated China and Russia into supplying Iran with large quantities of weapons, creating a situation where Iran and Hezbollah would try to destroy Israel.

Israel has been aligning itself with the Trump administration since before its second term was elected (more like Trump is actively participating than simply becoming Israel’s puppet), and since 2023, it has been furiously dismantling the entire structure of those trying to destroy Israel, including the British-affiliated allies [i.e. those globalist countries] and those manipulated by them, such as China, Iran, Hezbollah, and Assad. The destruction of Hezbollah and the overthrow of Assad in the latter half of 2024 showed that Israel had become significantly stronger than before. Israel became stronger because it took over the US Intelligence Community and the US administration (Trump) that was [even though unofficially and informally] under its control. Essentially, this is not a war between Israel and Iran, but a spy battle between Israel and the British-affiliated allied countries [i.e. which also imply that they are considered as anti-Semitic]. Israel is winning, and the British-affiliated allied countries are losing. This can also be seen in the Ukraine War (Putin is secretly working with Trump and Israel to cause the British to self-destruct).

In light of Israel’s rise to power, and looking at the ongoing war with Iran, especially the difficulties in negotiations after the ceasefire, there is a sense that the US and Israel are pretending to be losing while instigating Iran’s closure of Hormuz and the Houthis’ blockade of the Red Sea. Its purpose is likely to be [1] “the destruction of the economic globalism (i.e. the world’s single market) and the geopolitical sea power (i.e. the unified control of the British -American hegemony from the Mediterranean Sea to the Indian Ocean to the East China Sea”, and [2] “the encirclement network of Eurasia) on which the British system has been based”.

After the assassination of Ali Khamenei, the militant Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps [IRGC] swept aside pragmatic clergy and practitioners and seized power in Iran, but the United States and Israel will not reconcile with Iran unless the IRGC are destroyed. The possibility of regime change by domestic rebels has diminished. The IRGC government is likely to survive. The shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz will remain in place. The breakdown of the above-mentioned globalism and sea power will also become severe.  Meanwhile, the British-affiliated allied countries’ system [i.e. British-affiliated globalists’ system] will break down and decline.

In the military, the US and Israel are believed to have used their intelligence to destroy most of Iran’s large weapons, despite the fact that the Intelligence Community leaked the message to the media that “Iran still has half of its large weapons in its possession.” Israel no longer needs to attack Iran because Iran is no longer a military threat. That is why Trump is extending the ceasefire.

Until the US Intelligence Community was [unofficially and informally] taken over by the Likud faction, the British-affiliated allies dominated the world in a Cold War-style system, viewing Russia and the Chinese Communist Party as enemies of the United States, Europe, and the G7 (they had united the G7 and NATO in the name of their hostility to Russia and China). However, as mentioned above, as the US Intelligence Community was [unofficially and informally] taken over by the Likud group, the British-affiliated allied countries [i.e. British-allied globalist countries of whom Israel considers anti-Semitic/anti-Zionistic] secretly approached Russia and China in order to fight back, while [on the surface] continuing to openly view Russia and China as enemies, and tried to create a trend in which Russia and China supported Iran and other countries to undermine Israel (Likud group) (such as the Syrian civil war).

In order to prevent the formation of a covert alliance between the British-affiliated allies and Russia and China, the Likud group launched the Maidan Revolution [a.k.a. Revolution of Dignity], which turned Ukraine into a country that was viewed as hostile to Russia, and provoked Russia’s annexation of Crimea, creating a permanent conflict between Britain, the United States, Europe, and Russia. Hostility towards Russia developed into a war with Ukraine, and the British-affiliated allies were unable to reconcile with Russia. Starting the war in Ukraine before the Iran war was an important part of Likud’s plan to crush the British-affiliated allied countries [i.e. globalists who can be considered as anti-Semitic]. In the Ukraine war, the Likud faction played tricks on Putin, and Russia continued to act like it was having a difficult time in Ukraine. The British (i.e. European and British media) who were forced out and had their intelligence weakened were taken in by Putin’s performance and gave their full support to Ukraine, under the mistaken belief that they could crush Russia if they tried their best. In reality, however, it is the Likud faction of the US Intelligence Community that is formulating Ukraine’s military strategy, and Ukraine has wasted weapons and human resources (conscripts). Russia, working behind the scenes with Likud allies, knew the location of Ukraine’s weapons depots and continued to destroy them.

The British, weakened since the 2010s, also approached China and, in response to Xi Jinping’s Belt and Road Initiative, attempted to develop a Silk Road trade route that bypassed the Middle East, running from Central Asia through the Caspian Sea, the Caucasus, Turkey, and Europe. However, this was met with a counterattack from Israel starting in 2023. Israel secretly cooperated with Turkey, which strengthened its ties with the Caucasus (Azerbaijan) and Central Asia (Kazakhstan) to counter the British and Chinese dominance of the Silk Road.

While Turkey and Israel outwardly appear to be on the verge of war, in reality, Azerbaijan’s oil and gas continue to be exported to Israel via Turkey, meaning Turkey is cooperating with Israel’s expansion of the hegemony and receiving a return. This very situation is a Likud-backed tactic to undermine the covert Anglo-Chinese alliance. Xi Jinping, not wanting to be crushed by the fallout from the British alliance, has no intention of confronting the Likud faction and is now standing by and not providing support even when asked by Iran.

The Strait of Hormuz is geographically oriented towards Asia and is well-known as a route for sending oil and gas from the Persian Gulf to Asia, including China, India, and Japan. However, if the current closure of the Hormuz continues for a long time, the ones who will suffer the most from the oil and gas shortage are not Asia, but the British-affiliated European countries [which Israel considers as globalists]. These European countries will be forced to implement a fuel rationing system if this continues. [In Asia,] Japan buys oil and gas from the United States. China and India buy oil from Russia. Both Russia and Turkey are secretly working with the Likud faction and will continue their measures to obstruct the flow of oil and gas to Europe.

Up until now, the global economy has been intentionally destroyed by economically self-destructive measures such as the COVID-19 lockdowns and extremely foolish climate change measures (relying on unfounded anthropogenic theories, needlessly demonizing oil, gas, and coal, and relying on unstable renewable energy). While these measures appeared to be destroying economies evenly worldwide, in reality, they concentrated their destruction on Western Europe, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and other British-affiliated [globalist] countries. Both COVID-19 and climate change measures are likely part of the intelligence strategy employed by the Likud faction to cause the self-destruction of their British enemy [i.e. British-affiliated allied globalist countries]. The Ukraine War was part of this trend. And this ongoing war with Iran is also a Likud strategy to cause the self-destruction of those British-affiliated globalist countries.

Putin has predictively pointed out that a war with Iran will bring about a global economic destruction similar to that caused by COVID-19. Putin, who is connected to the Likud faction, likely has a grasp of the overall picture. Like COVID-19, the ongoing war with Iran will surely devastate the global economy, particularly the economy of those British-allied [globalist] countries.  [In the meantime,] Japan, under Prime Minister Takaichi’s influence, has begun a shift from being one of the British-affiliated ones to being one of the Likud-affiliated ones. While Japan’s bureaucracy, media, academia, and left-wing groups remain staunchly being naive British puppets, continuing to slander Takaichi, the situation will eventually change.
