Distinguished Prof. John Mearsheimer on who started the Iranian war: "The two who convinced Trump to launch this cockamamie war were Netanyahu and David Barnea, head of Mossad. They told [Trump] a shock-and-awe campaign would end the regime in a couple days. This is ludicrous."

🚨ICYMI, Prof. John Mearsheimer: Iran ‘HOLDS ALL THE CARDS’ in war of attrition against US and Israel ‘President Trump believed, and the Israelis believed, that we could win a quick and decisive victory, that we could decapitate the Iranian regime, give them some shock and awe for the first few days, and the Iranians would throw up their hands and surrender. President Trump and his closest advisors all thought that we would not end up in a long war where these massive problems that are now beginning to surface would face us… But the problem is that President Trump did not have a coherent strategy or a viable strategy for winning a quick victory. And once the war turned into a war of attrition, it turns out that it’s the Iranians, not the Americans and the Israelis, who hold almost all of the cards.’ -Prof. John Mearsheimer, one of the world’s most respected realist International Relations scholars, on the first ever episode of New Order

U.S. Senator Chris Murphy 🟧 says Trump has "no plan to end the war." "I mean, they have no plan to end the war because they basically made a bet at the beginning of the war. Netanyahu and a handful of Iran hawks convinced them that if they bombed Iran for a couple of days, the regime would fall and some pro-America, pro-Israel regime would take its place. That's what they thought was going to happen. And when that didn't happen, they literally had no plan B. And so that's why they are fumbling."

JUST IN: 🇮🇱🇮🇷 Israeli Channel 12 reports that two very high-ranking Mossad officials dismissed due to the failure of the operation to overthrow the regime in Iran: The head of the intelligence department in the Mossad and the head of the Iran department in the Mossad were dismissed from their positions due to the major failure in the operation to overthrow the regime in Iran during the forty-day war! This plan, which was supposed to overthrow the Iranian government with the help of minorities (terrorist and separatist groups), suffered a major and utter failure! These two high-ranking Mossad officials had a direct connection to the plan to overthrow the Iranian government; they were the main architects of this plan and presented it to Trump in an operational and written format.
