Zionists pushed Trump into the war with Iran but this was not the primary reason for this catastrophic decision

by system failure 

 

It is widely reported by various analysts that Trump's catastrophic decision to start a war with Iran, came as a result of the pressure from Netanyahu regime and the Zionist lobby in US.

While we can't ignore the strong influence of the Zionist factor on Trump and its significant role on dragging him into such a catastrophe, this was probably not the primary reason for the latest US-Iran war. 

One has to look first at Venezuela and the unprecedented and rather bizarre operation there to remove Nicolas Maduro from power, in order to understand the deeper reasoning behind such a risky decision by Trump against Iran.

The uniqueness of the operation in Venezuela by the US imperialist beast, has to do not only with the blatant violation of international law with almost zero pretexts, but also with the fact that the rest of the Maduro administration was left untouched and permitted to remain in power.

This shows that the primary goal of this operation was not the stealing of Venezuelan rich oil reserves on behalf of the US oil giants, but something much more fundamental and vital for the US imperialist machine.

As Reuters reported back in February, "The United States has now returned to the Venezuelan government all $500 million from the initial sale of oil that was part of a deal reached between Caracas and Washington last month ..."

This information alone, indicates that the US imperialists had one big goal in the back of their heads: restore US petro-dollar power. 

It was clear that Maduro administration was accelerating the process of removing dollar from oil transactions, especially with Russia and China, to bypass the heavy sanctions by the US. The process was welcomed by the Sino-Russian bloc, as it would boost de-dollarization and lead to a free-from-dollar market, based on gold and local currencies of countries that suffered heavily from US sanctions. 

The latest years we witnessed an impressive expansion of BRICS towards countries of the Global South that were seeking to escape from petro-dollar tyranny.

Therefore, everything points to the fact that the weakened US imperialist beast would not risk a full regime-change operation in Venezuela, because the majority of the Venezuelan society was ready to defend the Socialist project, with its roots leading back to the Hugo Chavez era.

It seems that Trump made some kind of deal with No 2 of Maduro administration, Delcy Rodriguez, to leave Venezuela and even its oil reserves alone, as long as all oil transactions would return to the previous petro-dollar status.

By restoring petro-dollar in the country with the biggest oil reserves, Trump regime had to focus on the country with one of the biggest oil productions globally, yet dangerously closer to BRICS and the petro-dollar alternative: Iran.

We don't think that Trump was blinded by the success of the operation in Venezuela and became so arrogant and naive to believe that he could repeat it in Iran that easily. It is obvious to everyone that Iran is not Venezuela in terms of size and military power. Besides, it is certain that the US deep state apparatus warned him that Iran was strongly supported by China and Russia, as it is considered geopolitically too critical for them to be lost.

Yet, after the Venezuela operation, the US imperialist beast realized that this was the "now or never" moment to attack Iran, reverse the de-dollarization process and achieve a geopolitically decisive victory against the Sino-Russian alliance. Add to that the big pressure by the Zionist factor, and you will find why Trump decided to take such a huge risk with Iran.

The rest of the story is unfolding in front of our eyes. This is probably the quickest and clearest defeat of the US imperialist beast since WWII, as the war against Iran fully exposed the limits of US imperialist power. 

 

Normally, we should expect the US imperialist beast to respond with a second, much more brutal attack against Iran until its final surrender. However, reports about the draining of global oil reserves to dangerously low levels due to the Strait of Hormuz "weapon" successfully used by Iran, as well as limitations related to the production of new expensive weapons by the US against Iran's much cheaper drones and missiles, made such a possible second attack appear almost impossible.

Trump had to retreat almost unconditionally to meet Iran's new, tougher demands, facing the furious critics from all fronts: the leftists inside and outside the Democratic party, the Zionist lobby across the bi-partisan establishment and the anti-war MAGA faction that was heavily disappointed by his decision to dare the unthinkable.

 

The 300 billion-dollar fund for Iranian reconstruction as part of the latest MoU between the US and Iran, can only be considered as a last desperate attempt by Trump, to lure Iran back into the dollar-domination system.

Yet, the Iranians won't buy the US imperialist tricks. They can't count how many times they've been betrayed at the negotiating table. And  they will never forget the destruction and death brought to them by the US imperialist beast and the Zionists. They will never forget the genocide in Gaza and the ethnic cleansing in West Bank and Lebanon.

This disastrous mistake by the US empire, will probably accelerate de-dollarization, leading to empire's final fall, quite sooner than most would expect.
