The United States basically does what Israel says.

And so Israel has been pulling the United States into war with Iran.

and attempting to do that, uh, endlessly.

It did that, uh, last summer.

The goal was, uh, to create regime change, to have an overthrow that didn't work.

Uh, the U S then has been using economic instruments, uh, what, uh, our treasury secretary, Scott Besant, uh, called economic statecraft, but he laid out the deliberate, uh, uh,

measures by the United States to destroy the Iranian economy.

The idea, again, was regime change.

That didn't work.

And so now we have a carrier task strike group on its way to attack Iran.

So an attack is imminent, I think.

The goal here has never been negotiation.

Whenever there has been negotiation, Israel has jumped up and down saying, don't negotiate.

Of course, a nuclear agreement was reached.

with Iran a decade ago, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, JCPOA.

It was actually ratified by the UN Security Council Resolution 2231 on the 20th of July 2015.

Then Trump ripped it up in his first term.

So there's never been

any desire by Israel to have a negotiated settlement.

And since the United States does what Israel tells it to do, there has never been a readiness of the United States to have real negotiations
