Trump Considering Returning to ‘All-Out’ War With Iran
President Donald Trump has been considering returning to an all-out war with Iran and ending negotiations altogether but has opted — for now!— to “stick with diplomatic talks,” The Wall Street Journal reported late Tuesday, citing “U.S. officials familiar with the discussion.”
The Trends Journal has forecast that Israel will not allow Trump to end the war because the goal in Tel Aviv is to steal land in Lebanon and collapse the government in Tehran, even if it leaves Iran a failed state like Syria. On 11 June, Gerald Celente floated the idea that Trump may have called off new strikes on Iran to protect the stock market for the SpaceX IPO to help out his boy, Elon Musk.
The WSJ report said that Trump has spoken with Pete Hegseth, the former Fox News clown playing the role of Secretary of War, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine, about the possibility of more strikes on the country to finish the job.

While not making a final decision, Trump has told aides he believes another round of full-scale attacks could derail diplomacy and hurt Washington’s chances of ultimately dismantling Iran’s nuclear program.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday that the IDF will remain inside Lebanon for as long as necessary, and until Hezbollah is no longer a threat – which stands in contradiction of the memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed between Washington and Tehran as a framework to permanently end the war.
MARANDI: IRAN READY TO RESTART WAR IF NEEDED
“Our insistence is that we do not leave southern Lebanon until the threat is neutralized. As long as Hezbollah is here, armed, threatening us, we will remain,” Netanyahu told troops during a visit to the region, according to The Jerusalem Post. “You have done huge work here; we have taken the Iranian axis and begun to crush it. We attacked Iran itself, something no one believed, and we removed an existential threat.”
The U.S. and Iran signed the 14-point MOU on 17 June, and since the signing, there have not been any major steps towards permanently ending the war. The U.S. and Iran exchanged fire in the Strait of Hormuz last week and Washington and Tehran could not agree on a meeting to discuss the recent violence.
Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, the U.S. delegation, were in Qatar for technical negotiations with the Iranians, but there have been no set meetings with Iranian officials. Iran’s Foreign Ministry said it did not have any plans to conduct direct talks with the U.S.
“From the very beginning, when we entered this diplomatic process, no one imagined a smooth and challenge‑free process,” Esmaril Baghaei, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, said, according to Press TV. “Keep in mind that this diplomatic process began after two wars, in less than a year, in an atmosphere of extreme suspicion, distrust, and given previous experiences of US faithlessness and obstruction by the Zionist regime.”
Baghaei said the MOU is clear that the war must end on all fronts and “must include Lebanon.”
He said the U.S., “as the other party to the memorandum, must adhere to its commitments and do whatever is necessary regarding Lebanon to ensure that the Zionist regime’s military aggression against Lebanon is halted,” according to the report.
Israel has killed 4,257 people since 2 March and more than 12,190 people have been injured in IDF attacks. The Israeli military also forced the displacement of over 1 million people inside the country.
Israel has been carrying out strikes on Lebanon under the pretense of disabling Hezbollah’s ability to fire rockets into northern Israel. Israeli leadership has insisted that it did not sign the MOU and that its forces will remain inside the country until the resistance group is disarmed.
Lebanon and Israel signed an agreement last week that has been called a complete capitulation from Beirut that gives up territorial sovereignty and has been rejected by Hezbollah and Iran.
The New York Times, citing a recent U.S. intelligence report, reported earlier this month that Washington expects Israel to continue its bombing campaign across Lebanon because of the domestic pressure that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will face to continue the war.
TREND FORECAST: There will be no peaceful resolution in the war between Iran and the United States because Israel will not remove its forces from inside Lebanon, and Trump is a gutless coward who will do whatever Fox News and Netanyahu tell him to.
