Chapter 1: Who is Roman Gofman and why is he significant?
Now, a bloke called Roman Goffman could be the key to all of this. Goffman's the incoming director of Mossad. So if you believe the story about the war, Netanyahu got the intel that the heavyweights in Iran would all be in the same room on that fateful Saturday morning. So if there was ever a time to strike, this was it. Netanyahu convinced Trump.
Netanyahu was advised by Goffman, who also believed that if you hit them hard, they would fall over quickly. Regime change would be complete. They were all wrong, and badly so. That's why the initial video, Trump told the people of Iran the country would be theirs to take. It clearly isn't.
Chapter 2: What role did Netanyahu and Trump play in the Iran strategy?
You can ask the question, I guess, if Goffman was wrong on Iran, is he still the bloke to be running Mossad?
And if they didn't see the regime not falling over, and they also didn't see the strait becoming the cluster it has, the IMF report yesterday laid bare just how globally significant all this is, this particular excursion has become. and how much pressure goes back onto the shoulders of Trump, who will be singularly held responsible for a global recession if a deal isn't cut.
Talks look promising, of course, and I am convinced a deal will be done. What sort of deal? Who knows? Israel, who should really be held as responsible as Trump, but won't be, will hold direct talks now with Lebanon. In positive news, it seems the country is trying to disassociate themselves from Hezbollah.
That may well become a thing, which if you dovetail the Iran-America deal, and that involves no more sponsorship of proxies, could it be globally Hezbollah are a toast, along with the Houthis, and maybe even Hamas. Scott Besant, who appears from the more normal part of the White House, was rolled out yesterday to remind us of the big picture.
This, the war, the talks, the IMF report, the mess, is but a moment in time that will vanish if Iran gets stripped of the ability to blow the planet up. Which brings us back... to the original question and intent. Was getting nuclear out of Iran a good idea and would it be worth it? I still think as a theory, yes. And I think a lot of the world would agree with it. But that hasn't happened yet.
And the brains that started it, Goffman, Netanyahu and Trump, don't have the same international standing as they did six weeks ago.
