Trump Just Tried to Crush Iran - He May Not Survive his Failure.

Right, so Donald Trump once vowed to end America’s endless wars. Instead, he just launched a brand-new one—based on nothing, aimed at nowhere, and achieving less than zero. In a geopolitical plot twist that feels more like bad satire than strategy, but then Trump’s Presidencies always put the satirists out of business because they can’t possibly trump him, the self-styled peace president has fired bunker-busters at empty bunkers, handed Iran a moral high ground it didn’t even ask for, and painted a neon target on every American soldier in the Middle East—all while Netanyahu cheers from the sidelines like it’s opening night of a Broadway play that he himself had written.
The so-called strike on Iran’s nuclear program achieved the military equivalent of punching plasterboard while blindfolded. No uranium was hit. No enrichment stopped. No strategy explained. Trump called it a “spectacular success,” but it’s hard to imagine a more perfect example of spending millions to do nothing and still make everything worse. What’s been shattered isn’t a nuclear facility—but America’s credibility, legal integrity, and global standing and as for Donald Trump, well everything he has coming now both abroad and at home he has brought squarely down upon himself.
Right, so that was Donald Trump there, lauding his own idiocy in one of the most ill-conceived, strategically bankrupt acts of US foreign policy possibly in US history. The staggeringly stupid satsuma skinned simpleton has ordered direct military strikes on Iran overnight, targeting three nuclear sites with bunker-busting bombs. The strikes, conducted in cooperation with Israel and in furtherance of Netanyahu’s disastrous regional ambitions, are being widely condemned as an act of both stupidity and provocation—a diplomatic and military car crash driven straight off a cliff by the very man who once branded himself "the no war president." And here he is basking in what he thinks was ever such a clever stunt, but which is going to prove anything but. Instead of having the final word on the matter and deterring further conflict, Trump has all but guaranteed it widening, dragging the US headlong into a war that it had absolutely no business getting involved in and neither started nor can control.
The American strikes targeted Iran’s nuclear facilities in Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow—locations that, crucially, were already cleared of nuclear enrichment materials. These are, relatively speaking, older sites. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has confirmed that no increase in radiation levels followed the attacks, proving that there were no active materials present. Iran, anticipating aggression, anticipating that Zionist pressure would lead to Trump striking them had moved its uranium and enrichment materials to undisclosed sites in the days prior. The US military therefore, succeeded only in pummelling reinforced concrete and rock, at a cost of millions of dollars per bunker buster, these things are half a billion dollars apiece.
Trump, in his usual performative swagger, declared the strikes a “spectacular success.” In reality, they were a spectacular failure: diplomatically, legally, and strategically. The attack changed nothing on the ground, failed to slow any Iranian nuclear activity, and has instead just destabilised an already volatile region. It was the military equivalent of punching a wall, it achieved nothing except to inflame tensions and invite retaliation.
In the hours after the strikes, Iranian state media issued a chilling warning: "Every American citizen and military personnel in the region is now a legitimate target." Every US military installation throughout West Asia is now a legitimate target for retaliation. With at least 19 US bases spread across the region—from Iraq and Syria to the Persian Gulf—each is now a sitting duck, with a target painted on it thanks solely to Donald Trump.
American commanders now face the possibility of defending against waves of missile and drone attacks on facilities never designed to endure full-scale war, as we’ve seen Iran quite capable of doing over the last week.
Benjamin Netanyahu called the US strike a moment that would “change history.” He may be right, but not in the way he hopes. Israel started this war, striking Iranian infrastructure under false claims that Iran was secretly developing nuclear weapons, claims Netanyahu has been making for 30 yeara. This is categorically untrue. Iran is a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), and has a fatwa in place forbidding the production or use of nuclear arms. Meanwhile, Israel has quietly amassed a nuclear arsenal of its own with zero international oversight—thanks, in no small part, to US protection and covert assistance.
Israel, using technology and materials provided by American and European allies, the French notably, built a secret nuclear weapons program allegedly at Dimona without once facing international scrutiny. Its denials of its existence in place because the US could not assist Israel if they have a known military nuclear asset. Unlike Iran, Israel has never submitted to inspections, the need to deny the existence of its nukes as just stated. And unlike Iran, Israel is of course the aggressor in this conflict.
Back in Washington, Trump now faces serious legal and political fallout for what he has just done too. The strikes were conducted without Congressional approval, a clear violation of the US Constitution. Lawmakers across party lines have condemned the act as unconstitutional, with some calling for impeachment proceedings now. Trump had previously stated he would wait two weeks before making any decision on Iran, leading many to believe he was waiting out a period of time whereby he would have to defer to Congress. But this turned out to be a deception, likely designed to lull Iran into a false sense of security, but in doing so, has breach the Constitution, he’s lied to the entire American people and the commentary has come thick and fast.
Democrat Sean Casten, hardly a party with much moral ground to stand of given they were previously led by Genocide Joe Biden is however also correct when he tweeted out that:
‘This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.’
Will that happen? Do they have the votes to succeed is the question there.
Even Trump’s base is split. Known for branding himself a peace candidate, he has now launched a new war, and not even for American interests. Many of his supporters are furious, accusing him of hypocrisy, recklessness, and betrayal. The right-wing media ecosystem, usually supportive of Trump, is now deeply divided, with many calling the strikes a betrayal of MAGA principles.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, normally not a source I would ever want to touch with a bargepole exemplifies this, having said:
‘Every time America is on the verge of greatness, we get involved in another foreign war. There would not be bombs falling on the people of Israel if Netanyahu had not dropped bombs on the people of Iran first. Israel is a nuclear armed nation. This is not our fight. Peace is the answer.’
Thank you very much Donald Trump for putting in a position where I actually agree with her of all people.
Former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter summed the truth of the matter up though when he said:
‘An act of theater. Trump’s big mouth had boxed him into a corner. Iran wouldn’t play his game. So he had to bomb Iran to save face. He bombed two empty facilities that had been previously struck by Israel. And he bounced six bombs off an indestructible facility (Firdos), claiming destruction despite the opposite being the case. That’s it. A “contained” strike. A nothing burger. And this is the man whose supporters call the greatest leader in the world. He’s a national disgrace.’
Firdos, or Fordow, is literally built under a mountainside, even bunker busters can’t get that deep.
Trump’s decision reeks of personal calculation rather than national interest. There was no cause for the US to go to war with Iran, Iran are not a threat to the US, only to Israel, so why do it? For Israel. Who could put pressure on him to do that, when he’s ignored Netanyahu whenever he’s felt like it, so clearly it wasn’t him? Follow the money. The Zionist paymasters, pressure from the shadows it is a move that serves Netanyahu’s interests, not America’s and the fact he ended his speech by saying God Bless Israel should speak volumes about who he serves.
While Iran might arguably lack the military might to go toe-to-toe with the U.S. in conventional warfare – I say arguably, we really don’t know what they are fully capable of - it does possess immense strategic leverage. Its proximity to all those US bases, Saudi oil fields, and chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait means it can inflict severe damage without a single ground invasion both militarily and economically. Iran’s close allies—such as the Houthis in Yemen or Hezbollah in Lebanon—have both condemned the US attacks and cited their support for Iran. Yemen has now formally called off its agreement with the US not to strike US targets.
Any attempt by Iran to shut down the Strait of Hormuz would send global oil prices soaring. The economic fallout would be immediate and catastrophic. If the Houthis of Yemen were act in coordination and block the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, and target strategic shipping in the Red Sea as well, global trade through the Suez Canal would also grind to a halt. In other words, Iran doesn’t need to defeat the US militarily—it simply needs to make the cost of escalation intolerable. Oil shortages would be exceptionally damaging.
The world has reacted sharply to all of this. Gulf nations like Qatar and Oman have condemned the US action, fearing regional blowback, escalation and further unrest. Western allies have mostly parroted Israeli talking points, Keir Starmer saying as one example that:
‘Iran’s nuclear programme is a grave threat to international security. Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon and the US has taken action to alleviate that threat. The situation in the Middle East remains volatile and stability in the region is a priority. We call on Iran to return to the negotiating table and reach a diplomatic solution to end this crisis.’
For one, their nuclear program was not a threat at all to the world, it’s a benefit. Iran is a significant producer of radiopharmaceuticals, which are radioactive drugs used for medical diagnosis and treatment, particularly in nuclear medicine for conditions like cancer. Enrichment up to 60% which Iran had done is apparently required for certain medical isotopes, but I’m happy to be corrected on that.
Iran is also building a major cancer hospital and radiopharmaceutical centre in West Asia, with domestically produced equipment worth over €400 million, all of their research and products domestically produced, because of course it has had to be, under sanctions constantly as Iran is. Oh and there’s the small matter of his own Attorney General having already told him war on Iran is probably illegal. It has nothing to do with weapons, the only weapon around here apart from Trump is the likes of this brylcreemed buffoon, rapidly becoming the most hated Prime Minister in British history, a Zionist without equivocation as he is, spouting off all the soundbites his backers desire, none of it based in fact. As for Iran returning to the negotiating table, they were at it before Israel bombed them and their chief negotiator is now dead as a result. I despise that man utterly.
The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, the AEOI, has condemned the attacks and vowed to pursue legal action. The strikes, they argue, were not just illegal but also a flagrant violation of international norms and the sovereignty of a peaceful nuclear program. The AEOI has called upon the IAEA to open an investigation into the incident, warning that such violations must not become normalised, even as Iran’s relations with the IAEA have become increasingly strained.
So all in all, what has Trump actually accomplished therefore? He has failed to degrade Iran’s nuclear capacity, he has violated international law, he has circumvented his own legislature, he has endangered American lives, and likely destroyed any remaining credibility he had. What he is doing is not foreign policy. It is geopolitical suicide and it’ll be paid for in American lives if things aren’t de-escalated now and that means dealing with Israel, not Iran.
Iran has already begun retaliating. In a swift and brutal response, Iranian ballistic missiles struck Tel Aviv and Haifa, inflicting significant damage and forcing Israel to scramble its air defences, what little they have left.
The US attack on Iran marks a dark chapter in American foreign policy. It’s not just a blunder—it’s an act of self-sabotage engineered to serve the interests of a foreign power. Donald Trump has traded constitutional integrity and geopolitical stability for political theatrics and ideological dogma and all for Israel and Netanyahu.
This war is not about nuclear weapons. It’s about control. It’s about dominance. And it’s about an American president putting another country’s agenda above his own nation’s safety.
Trump’s clown car has crashed already as we knew it would—but how much of the rest of the world will he end up taking with him?
