For a confirmation of the analysis in this piece @jacobinmag.bsky.social of what's on Trump's mind, just watch two minutes of the press conference he just gave, between 26'30 and 28'20.

The United States has shifted under Trump, in his second term, to a modernized version of the nineteenth-century ‘gunboat diplomacy.’ ...
Washington’s ‘special relation’ with the Zionist state is because it views the latter as a watchdog for US regional interests.

"The likelihood of a joint US-Israeli attack on Iran has become very high indeed with Trump’s return to the White House." 12 November 2024 (when the BS about Trump as a peace-loving man was all over the place).

Big time BS!
"Hegseth says US won’t get ‘bogged down’ in Iran – but doesn’t rule out sending troops."
The Trump administration is so desperate to get Tehran to cry uncle that it multiplies contradictory statements and threats.
