Jeffrey Sachs: Trump Iran Attack IMMINENT

Professor Jeffrey Sachs argues that Israel has pursued a 30-year effort to overthrow the Iranian government, with the United States largely complying with Israel's directives. He states that Israel consistently opposes negotiation and pushed for the US to abandon the JCPOA, indicating a preference for confrontation over diplomatic solutions.

Jeffrey Sachs' interview on the Glen Diessen show, where he states, 'The United States basically does what Israel says. And so Israel has been pulling the United States into war with Iran.' He also notes Israel's opposition to the JCPOA.

The hosts highlight a pattern of evolving pretexts for military action against Iran. Initially, the focus was on nuclear facilities, then shifted to supporting internal protests, and now includes regional ballistic missiles. This constant redefinition of the 'threat' suggests a consistent underlying goal of regime change.

The hosts discuss how 'Midnight Hammer' was justified by wiping out nuclear facilities, yet months later, the criticism returned to Iran's nuclear deal. They point out Israel 'moved the goalposts' to regional missiles, which are not a direct threat to the US. CNN reporting also notes the administration's 'rapid refocusing of publicly framed objectives.'

Concrete military movements and explicit threats from Donald Trump indicate a serious escalation. A carrier strike group, aerial refueling tankers, and electronic warfare aircraft are deploying to the region, while Trump's Truth Social post warns of 'speed and violence' and an 'Operation Midnight Hammer' follow-up.

Donald Trump's Truth Social post: 'A massive armada is heading to Iran. It is moving quickly with great power, enthusiasm, and purpose.' OSINT reports confirm 'multiple aerial refueling tanks' and 'six Growler electronic warfare aircraft' heading to the Middle East.

High-level visits from Saudi and Israeli military officials to Washington suggest active coordination for a potential strike. Israel's military chief reportedly provided a target list, while Saudi officials likely sought to prevent their airspace from being used to avoid complicity and retaliation.

Barak Ravid report cited by the hosts: 'Saudi and Israeli ministers of defense or military officials visited Washington yesterday.' The hosts interpret Israel's chief's visit as providing 'a target list to the United States military.'

The US maintains a significant military presence in the region, with tens of thousands of troops, which are framed as being vulnerable to Iranian attacks. This vulnerability is then used to justify a 'preemptive defensive option,' allowing the US to strike first under the guise of protecting its forces and allies.

A clip from the Secretary of State testifying on Capitol Hill: 'We have 30 to 40,000 American troops stationed across eight or nine facilities in that region. All are within the reach... of an array of thousands of Iranian one-way UAVs and Iranian short-term ballistic missiles.' He adds, 'The president always reserves the preemptive defensive option.'

The US has actively engaged in economic warfare against Iran, deliberately aiming to destabilize its economy. This pressure, exemplified by a currency collapse, is seen as a direct catalyst for internal protests, which then become another justification for intervention.

The host mentions Scott Bessant (Treasury Secretary) 'all but admitted bragged about the economic pressure, the economic warfare that the US has been waging against Iran.' They connect this to the currency collapse that triggered protests, noting Bessant's background with George Soros in currency attacks.
