Israel can’t go this one alone.** **Hoping everyone here understands that yes the US attempted to assassinate Putin.

He’s going for Greenland next > *Not sure if it will be before or after he assists Israel in their attack on Iran?* **Looks as if he’s going to hit Iran first and soon. Attempt to take out the leadership? I’m going to say definitely! All out warfare if the decapitation strike on Iran’s leadership doesn’t succeed? Quite likely. Whatever the case- it’s extremely dangerous times.. Israel always being the wild card with it’s Sampson Option ideology. Israel is clearly gung ho and**` I believe Trump is all in with mass strikes on infrastructure and an attempt to kill/overthrow the government` [**Read the Jerusalem Post article linked, excerpt included below**](https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/iran-news/article-883265) > Until now, Trump had made a variety of statements threatening to intervene if the Iranian regime started killing protesters, bu**t had qualified those statements with other statements suggesting he might only intervene very late in the game, if it looked like he could help push the protesters over the top of the regime, and without taking the risk of intervening without a guaranteed “win.”** > > ##### Trump’s options in Iran: Massive airstrikes, assassinations, and cyber weapons – analysis > > In some ways, it seemed like T**rump was experimenting with how much he could impact the world after abducting Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, just by using the shock value of that action but without necessarily taking any concrete further action on other fronts.** **In the case of Iran, Israel can do the follow up work if necessary so Trump can have some plausible deniability** ###### But Trump’s latest statement indicates a greater and more sustained commitment. > *Now, if he does not intervene in some substantial way, he and the US will lose face and some of their deterrent posture in other parts of the world whenever another conflict arises.* **So what might he do?** > **First of all, the US is still the world’s greatest superpower and, using either airpower, naval long-range strikes, a ground invasion, or all of the above, it has the capability to take down the current regime.** > > That does not mean it could ensure a friendly new leadership, as the US found out in Iraq and Afghanistan, but doing the toppling itself is doable. > > **Still, presuming that Trump has not completely changed character and is not ready for a long war that could lead to many Americans dying and expending significant funds on the military campaign, it would be more likely that he will take a more measured approach in using American power.** **As stated Israel can do the follow up work, with the US as a silent partner** > One example could be **targeted strikes against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and especially its Basij branch, which is at the center of oppressing protesters.** > > Regarding the airstrikes option**, it is notable that CENTCOM made a big announcement about expanding air and missile defense power at its base in Qatar, striking distance from Iran, and also a base that Iran tried to attack in the past.** > > In the same sentence and around the same time, **Qatar posted an unusual warning that “catastrophe” would result if the Iran conflict expanded into a wider war.** > > **Doha is doubtlessly concerned since after Trump bombed Iran’s nuclear facilities in June, Tehran attacked the US base in Qatar, causing fear and shock in the area, even if there were no deaths.** > > **A spin-off of this would be trying to create free zones or no-fly zones in parts of Iran where the minorities are the majority (replay of Iraq and the Kurds) and hate the regime.** > > This would leave the regime in control of most of the country, but would s**tart a larger process of poking holes in its veneer of invincibility.** ###### **Trump ready to use cyber weapons** > Trump has also shown he is more ready to publicly use cyber weapons for a massive attack than past US presidents. > He bragged loudly about having turned off all of the lights in Caracas, a city of more than three million. > > The US could launch targeted cyberattacks against the IRGC, the Basij, and senior-level commanders of the regime to break down their ability to coordinate their efforts against protesters. > > This could also lead to sabotaging some of their weapons. > > In fact, America could do worse and send them false information to send IRGC and Basij personnel into traps or to the wrong locations, so that the protesters could proceed wherever they would actually be campaigning **[Trump Cancels Iran Talks ](https://www.thenewstribune.com/news/nation-world/world/article314301471.html)As Protests Death Toll Surpasses 2,000:** > Here is a new video that clearly debunks the lies, fabrications, and disgusting misinformation spread by Laura Loomer and other trolls. > You are so pathetic! > It appears that it was the Pahlavi thugs attacking the truck first and the driver was trying to escape from getting hurt.… [pic.twitter.com/eUHpG2h2tL](https://t.co/eUHpG2h2tL) > > — Mousa (@mousa\_peyman) [January 12, 2026](https://x.com/mousa_peyman/status/2010691966254661852?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) **And there’s the flag of the Shah.** **To the death toll… the “peaceful protestors” have been attacking and killing all kinds of people- regular persons on buses.
