Trump and the Zionist War Machine: How Washington and Tel Aviv Ignited the Middle East Blaze

Introduction

The escalating conflict between Israel and Iran has gripped the Middle East in flames, as missile exchanges grow deadlier by the day. But behind the scenes, this is no spontaneous war. For many in the region and beyond, the real instigators sit in Washington D.C., not Tehran. Donald Trump's ambiguity is nothing but a strategic smokescreen concealing U.S.-Israeli coordination and a deliberate provocation aimed at drawing Iran into an all-out regional war.

This blog explores the war from an Iranian perspective—one that sees Israel’s June 13 strike not as an independent act, but as a U.S.-backed move facilitated by a network of opportunistic regional actors, including some Muslim governments serving Western interests.

A War Years in the Making: Washington and Tel Aviv's Calculated Provocation

The seeds of this conflict were not sown in June 2025, but over decades of American policy aimed at destabilizing the Islamic Republic of Iran. Israel’s first strike on Iranian soil—allegedly targeting nuclear facilities—would have been unthinkable without the green light from the United States. Despite Trump’s claims that Israel acted unilaterally, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s congressional testimony revealed a military apparatus “standing ready” to assist.

Trump’s so-called “mixed signals” are not hesitation but deliberate psychological warfare. His constant vacillation—"I may do it. I may not do it"—is designed to create confusion, keep global markets unstable, and corner Iran diplomatically while preparing for escalation militarily.

Muslim Proxies: The Silent Collaborators

While Tel Aviv fired the first missile, many observers believe it was enabled by the tacit support of U.S.-aligned Muslim regimes. Gulf monarchies and regional strongmen—who maintain secret intelligence ties with Israel—have long served Western agendas under the guise of stability and “counterterrorism.” Iranian officials suggest radar signatures and airspace cooperation from these states enabled Israel’s warplanes to carry out precision attacks hundreds of miles from its borders.

This betrayal by some of the Muslim world is seen by many as the latest chapter in a recurring pattern of regional complicity in Zionist aggression.

Trump’s War Madness: Fueling Fire While Preaching Peace

President Trump’s erratic rhetoric has only deepened the crisis. While posturing as a reluctant warrior, he has repeatedly threatened Iran with “total complete victory” and demanded its “unconditional surrender.” He went as far as publicly musing about assassinating Iran’s Supreme Leader—an unprecedented provocation that brought outrage from across the Muslim world.

Such incendiary language only reveals Trump’s long-standing agenda: regime change in Iran under the pretext of nonproliferation. While Trump continues to claim Iran was weeks away from acquiring a nuclear weapon, his own intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard earlier testified there was no such evidence—only to later retract under political pressure.

Israel’s Strike and Its Aftermath: Death, Deception, and Diplomacy Collapsed

When Israel launched its first strike on June 13, nuclear negotiators and top Iranian scientists were among the casualties. Talks scheduled with the U.S. were immediately cancelled. Iran rightly sees the attack not only as an act of war but as a sabotage of diplomacy.

In this context, Iran’s retaliatory strikes are not escalation, but legitimate self-defense under international law. As Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi said: “We are not reaching out to anybody. We are defending ourselves. We cannot negotiate while our people are under bombardment every day.”

Iran's stance is firm: no negotiations under fire, no diplomacy while its sovereignty is under siege.

The Western Narrative: A Media Mask for Military Manipulation

Mainstream Western media continue to frame the war as a consequence of Iranian defiance rather than American and Israeli belligerence. Iran's peaceful nuclear program, used for medical and energy purposes, is constantly portrayed as a cover for weaponization—despite a lack of credible evidence.

Meanwhile, Israel—believed to possess hundreds of nuclear warheads—is never held accountable for its decades-long occupation of Palestinian land, its routine bombing of Syrian and Lebanese territories, or its aggressive posturing against Iran. This hypocrisy reveals a clear double standard that underpins Western foreign policy.

Iran’s Warning: The Fire Will Not Stay Contained

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has warned that U.S. involvement in this war would have “serious irreparable consequences.” Iran has demonstrated that its missile capabilities can reach not just Israeli bases but U.S. installations across the region.

The Islamic Republic has made it clear: this war will not be one-sided. It will not allow a coalition of occupiers and traitors to rewrite the balance of power in the Middle East.

Conclusion: A War of Resistance, Not Submission

From Tehran’s viewpoint, the current war is not a reckless gamble but a defensive necessity. Iran has endured decades of sanctions, sabotage, and slander, yet remains defiant. The attack on its nuclear scientists and facilities is not just a military strike—it is an attack on its sovereignty and future.

And while Trump plays games with “ambiguity,” Iran’s response has been resolute: the era of silence is over. Any aggression—by Israel, the United States, or their Muslim proxies—will be met with unified resistance. This is not just a war over uranium or ideology. It is a war for dignity, independence, and justice in a region long held hostage by Western hegemony.
