Under pressure from Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Trump administration may be within days of launching a nuclear strike on Iran. The target would be Pickax Mountain in central Iran, where Israeli intelligence claims the Iranian government has restarted its nuclear enrichment program. No conventional weapon in the American arsenal can penetrate 300 feet of solid granite to destroy the tunnels where enrichment is supposedly taking place. The only military option is a nuclear strike. Netanyahu has been pushing hard for one. “Bibi calls Trump about it every day,” says an informed observer. Netanyahu is cornered and desperate. After last week’s election results, he can’t form a government unless Trump intervenes directly in Israeli politics and brokers a deal with other parties that gives Netanyahu 61 seats in the Knesset. Otherwise, he is out as prime minister and on his way to ignominy, investigations and possibly jail. Netanyahu must stay close to Trump. He needs this war. To that end, he’s applied maximum pressure to his closest allies in the administration, including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper. Both oppose a negotiated settlement to the war they’ve so grievously mismanaged; both are pushing to restart major combat operations. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and CIA director John Ratcliffe are also following Netanyahu’s lead, as are leaders of the Democratic Party. In a recent meeting on the subject, former president Barack Obama said he opposes the current Iran peace deal being drafted in Doha. The rest of America’s longtime allies in the Middle East are terrified by the prospect of more war. On September 27th, Netanyahu flew secretly to Abu Dhabi to enlist the UAE in his lobbying effort for a final attack on Iran. The Emiratis refused. After eight months of conflict, Gulf economies are teetering. So are global energy and fertilizer markets. They won’t recover soon. Globally, there are a total of about 850 supertankers used to transport oil from producers to the rest of the world. In October alone, 11 of them were badly damaged in Hormuz. At this pace, a global depression is imminent. A nuclear strike would radically accelerate the destruction. Fallout from a ground explosion at Pickax Mountain would contaminate the Persian Gulf, poisoning the water supply for 100 million people. And those are just some of the immediate consequences for the region. The rest of the world is every bit as exposed. No country other than the United States has ever used a nuclear weapon in war. Some would like to. An American nuclear attack on Iran would set a new precedent. The Russians have already told at least two other governments that an American nuclear strike on Iran would free them to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine. Pakistan and India would be tempted to do the same against each other, as would North Korea against Seoul. After the first nuclear strike, World War Three is inevitable. That war would be short and final. We’ve been sleepwalking toward this moment for months. Since February, the administration has quietly rewritten America’s nuclear doctrine to make first use of so-called “battlefield nukes” easier and therefore more likely. No one in Washington in either party seems bothered by this. Now we’re on the brink of it. Close observers say Trump is likely to decide by next weekend whether or not to use nuclear weapons. That would be November 7, six days from now. To his credit, he’s hesitating. At the moment, Trump is listening to his vice president, JD Vance, and to his envoy and friend Steve Witkoff, both of whom argue a deal with Iran can be made. They’re right, though it won’t be simple. The Iranians are famously frustrating to negotiate with under any circumstances, and elements of that government have become more radical since Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his family were killed in February. After decades of isolation, even relatively moderate Iranian leaders seem confused by how decisions are made in the West. (There is a widespread belief in Tehran, for example, that the United States government controls Israel.) But overall, people who have spoken to decision-makers in Iran say there is consensus there that more war is bad for everyone and a deal is worth making. One group that hasn’t been consulted so far is the global population — the hundreds of millions of people who will be killed along with their children if Trump is pushed by Netanyahu into launching a nuclear strike next week. Now would be the time for them to speak up.

Israel and the United States are a threat to humanity.

I AM A MEMBER OF THE ACP. I STAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH DR. JILL STEIN, GUY CHRISTIANSEN, AND NICK CRUSE. DO YOU!? #AmericanCommunistParty

At least I never have to worry about the ACP supporting nazis in Ukraine, condemning the Palestinian resistance, or repeating CIA talking points about Cuba and Venezuela DSA literally support imperialist politicians meanwhile they have the nerve to call ACP right wing?

Notice how anyone who so much as engages with the ACP in good faith immediately gets accused of being the second coming of Hitler by leftists on social media? The irony is that this behavior only undermines the credibility of those making the accusations. When people discover that merely speaking to an ACP member is enough to get them branded a fascist, they naturally begin to question the accusations leveled against the ACP itself. The behavior of our haters is starting to have the opposite of its intended effect. Rather than ruining our reputation, it’s causing people to realize that they’re smear merchants who are willing to brazenly make shit up about anyone they don’t like. Once it happens to you personally it’s easier to understand what they’ve tried to do to the party as a whole.

We stand with Jill against fascist harassment by the courts because SHE stood by the STUDENTS DURING THE ENCAMPMENTS when no one else dared! Free Jill Stein.

The real reason why Hasan Piker, AOC, and the DSA NATO left can’t show solidarity with Dr. Jill Stein as she faces fascist retaliation from the Trump administration is because it would completely expose the lies they’ve been telling people for years about Jill Stein They claim she disappears outside elections, when the exact opposite is true. While AOC was lying about genocide for Biden and Kamala, Jill Stein was protesting their genocide and was brutalized by the police for it Then AOC had the nerve to claim that Jill Stein is predatory? These progressive Democrats are straight up evil and know exactly what role they play for the empire

Remember when Democrats accused Jill Stein of working with Russia to get Trump elected? Now the Trump regime is trying to put Jill Stein in jail for criticizing Israel and Democrats are silent. Who’s actually working on behalf of a foreign power?

BREAKING 🚨🚨- Drunk, mentally unstable labubu DJ Akademiks fires at Sneako amidst ongoing feud "CALEB MAUPIN WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU!"

Haz had this dude pegged. (Not that kinda peg, although I’m sure Will Sexton would like that). He’s hopped around so many different online political communities in the last six years because his brain is programmed by social media algorithms. “Right now it’s trendy to dress like a woman? Okay I’ll do that! Oh wait, homosexuality & cross dressing is promoted by evil Jews? Ya that’s what I believe too!” Bro (or sis?) has never held a principled stance on anything in his life. His brain is programmed by the likes of Larry Ellison.

The moment Will crashes out and tries to invoke Larry Ellison to get haz banned

The silence from Hasan Piker, the DSA, and “progressive” Democrats regarding Trump’s prosecution of Jill Stein for opposing genocide is deafening DSA: “We stand with the victims of fascism….but only if they are a Democrat!”

Jill Stein is being persecuting by government and not a single libshit politician has done a single thing about it. Zohran = 😴 Bernie = 😴 AOC = 😴 Social democrats are your enemy!
