The Jimmy Dore Show · Trump Reveals REAL REASON He Caved To Iran! w/ Glenn Greenwald · 19 Jun 2026 podcast

And I do think that's what happened.

I think Trump knows that this war has been a gigantic failure and that it's now hanging around his neck like an albatross.

And Trump is not exactly a person known for accepting responsibility for his failures.

He books for other people to blame.

And the reality is that Benjamin Netanyahu came to Washington seven times in order to convince Trump to attack Iran.

The very last time, they met in a situation room where Trump didn't even sit at the head of the table, but Benjamin Netanyahu presented with Mossad on the screen a presentation to Trump convincing him that this would be like Venezuela.

But all you have to do is go in and decapitate the ayatollah, which they did on the first day, kill a bunch of their top generals and a couple of their nuclear scientists, and then the entire state would collapse.

And then you just go in, appoint whoever you want, empower them, and they'll do your bidding like the Venezuelan government is now at gunpoint doing in the United States.

That did not happen.

And it was very predictable that it would not happen because Iran is not Venezuela.

Iran is a gigantic country with intense and very...

valuable natural resources, and they've been preparing for this for the last 50 years.

I mean, ever since the Iranian Revolution in 1979, the United States and Europe and Israel have wanted that government gone and wanted to restore the tyranny, the Shah's tyranny that was a puppet to the United States and to European interests and to Israel.

And they've been, everything they do is about planning how not to let that happen.

And this is a very, Iranians are very smart.

They're a very highly educated country.

And they're very formidable.

And their geography gives them extreme advantages.

So once Trump realized that he was sold a con job by Netanyahu and the Mossad and whoever else was in his ear, probably Marco Rubio and a lot of these other advisors, Pete Hexup, assuring him that this would be quick and fast.

And you go look at what Trump was saying at the beginning, telling the New York Times, it's going to be two, three weeks, four weeks at the most.
