US President Proves to Be a Puppet and a Disposable Asset for Israel

Israel’s permanent representative to the UN, Danny Danon, is a typical Zionist official: irreverent, confrontational, aggressive, and above all, ruthless. This time, however, he has outdone even himself. Immediately after the U.S. elections—and while everyone, even Trump, Vice President Vance, and others were attributing a significant share of the blame for the Republicans’ humiliating defeat to the attack on Iran, Danon—when asked to comment on the developments—placed the blame for the war on Iran solely on Trump. He denied any role or involvement by Israel in the attack on Iran, choosing to preserve his country’s reputation—even if it meant exposing Trump!
The words of the Israeli official came as a shock because numerous news reports—which were never refuted—revealed that the attack on Iran on February 28, 2026, was carried out on Netanyahu’s orders. While the reasons why Trump agreed are not explicitly stated—and only speculation is possible (e.g., the Epstein scandal)—all reports conclude that Trump was persuaded or pressured by Israel to launch the operation “Epic Rage,” which turned into an epic failure.
We owe the most revealing report—which described in detail how the Israeli government manipulated the U.S. government—to The New York Times. It was published on April 7 and was titled “How Trump Took the U.S. to War with Iran”.
Netanyahu feels right at home
It is worth quoting some extensive excerpts from this revealing article:
“The black S.U.V. carrying Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived at the White House just before 11 a.m. on Feb. 11. The Israeli leader, who had been pressing for months for the United States to agree to a major assault on Iran, was whisked inside with little ceremony, out of view of reporters, primed for one of the most high-stakes moments in his long career.
U.S. and Israeli officials gathered first in the Cabinet Room, adjacent to the Oval Office. Then Mr. Netanyahu headed downstairs for the main event: a highly classified presentation on Iran for President Trump and his team in the White House Situation Room, which was rarely used for in-person meetings with foreign leaders.
Mr. Trump sat down, but not in his usual position at the head of the room’s mahogany conference table. Instead, the president took a seat on one side, facing the large screens mounted along the wall. Mr. Netanyahu sat on the other side, directly opposite the president.
Appearing on the screen behind the prime minister was David Barnea, the director of Mossad, Israel’s foreign intelligence agency, as well as Israeli military officials. Arrayed visually behind Mr. Netanyahu, they created the image of a wartime leader surrounded by his team…
The presentation that Mr. Netanyahu would make over the next hour would be pivotal in setting the United States and Israel on the path toward a major armed conflict in the middle of one of the world’s most volatile regions…
In the Situation Room on Feb. 11, Mr. Netanyahu made a hard sell, suggesting that Iran was ripe for regime change and expressing the belief that a joint U.S.-Israeli mission could finally bring an end to the Islamic Republic.
At one point, the Israelis played for Mr. Trump a brief video that included a montage of potential new leaders who could take over the country if the hard-line government fell. Among those featured was Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of Iran’s last shah, now a Washington-based dissident who had tried to position himself as a secular leader who could shepherd Iran toward a post-theocratic government…
Mr. Netanyahu and his team outlined conditions they portrayed as pointing to near-certain victory: Iran’s ballistic missile program could be destroyed in a few weeks. The regime would be so weakened that it could not choke off the Strait of Hormuz, and the likelihood that Iran would land blows against U.S. interests in neighboring countries was assessed as minimal.
Besides, Mossad’s intelligence indicated that street protests inside Iran would begin again and — with the impetus of the Israeli spy agency helping to foment riots and rebellion — an intense bombing campaign could foster the conditions for the Iranian opposition to overthrow the regime. The Israelis also raised the prospect of Iranian Kurdish fighters crossing the border from Iraq to open a ground front in the northwest, further stretching the regime’s forces and accelerating its collapse.
Mr. Netanyahu delivered his presentation in a confident monotone. It seemed to land well with the most important person in the room, the American president.
Sounds good to me, Mr. Trump told the prime minister. To Mr. Netanyahu, this signaled a likely green light for a joint U.S.-Israeli operation.
Mr. Netanyahu was not the only one who came away from the meeting with the impression that Mr. Trump had all but made up his mind. The president’s advisers could see that he had been deeply impressed by the promise of what Mr. Netanyahu’s military and intelligence services could do, just as he had been when the two men spoke before the 12-day war with Iran in June.
Israel Defeated the American Generals
Israel’s responsibility for the war in Iran becomes even more evident if, to the above attempt at deception—which the American newspaper described in great detail—we add the objections raised by the leadership of the U.S. military and the intelligence community. The New York newspaper’s report—which is based on a book to be published very soon, titled “Regime Change: Inside Donald Trump’s Imperial Presidency”:
“The C.I.A. director used one word to describe the Israeli prime minister’s regime change scenarios: “farcical.” At that point, Mr. Rubio cut in. “In other words, it’s bullshit,” he said.
The president then turned to General Caine. “General, what do you think?”
General Caine replied: “Sir, this is, in my experience, standard operating procedure for the Israelis. They oversell, and their plans are not always well-developed. They know they need us, and that’s why they’re hard-selling.”
The rest is history: The U.S. attack on Iran took place, despite objections from the leadership of the U.S. military and the intelligence community, which proved to be better informed and more reliable than the Israelis. Nevertheless, their objections were not taken seriously!
Many other reports by major media outlets reiterated the same conclusion regarding Israel’s pressure on the U.S. to launch an attack on Iran: Axios (February 3, 2026: “A succession of Israeli spies and generals — including Israel Defense Forces chief of staff Gen. Eyal Zamir — have visited D.C. in recent days,”) Reuters (March 23, 2026 headlined “Trump approved Iran operation after Netanyahu argued for joint killing of Khamenei”) etc.
The charge for antisemitism, once again
The reality becomes even bleaker when we consider the reasons why Israel’s responsibility for the bombing of Iran was hushed up by most Western media outlets. The answer was provided in the pages of The Guardian: Because any such report, even if it were entirely true, would be labeled anti-Semitism—as is systematically the case with every attempt to expose Israeli influence on U.S. policy!
“There is no moral case for hiding Israel’s foreign interference in US policy. A press that openly lies is not free. But a press that tells only partial truths may be even more unfree, as these half-truths serve as a mask for its unfreedom” the British newspaper wrote, highlighting the danger facing the press from the constant pressure—whether public or covert—exerted by the Zionists.
Israel’s contacts and pressure had spread throughout the entire spectrum of the U.S. leadership. For example, prior to the U.S. elections, Trump’s Secretary of War, Pete Hegese, visited Israel, where he discussed the resumption of attacks on Iran following the U.S. midterm elections.
The silence surrounding Israel’s role in shaping U.S. foreign policy has many consequences. The most significant is that Israel ultimately remains off-limits when the time comes for accountability and assigning blame. And so, every Danon can shift the blame onto Trump, who turns out to be a useful idiot. Yes, even Trump! Not only did he provoke a war that was bound to be lost, but in the end, he also shouldered the full brunt of the blame…
Concerns for Greece
The experience of President Trump must serve as a lesson for Greece as well. Israel ruthlessly abandoned Trump, even though Israel would not exist if the U.S. did not fund it generously and in various ways, demonstrating the self-serving, unilateral, and coercive nature of his international relations and alliances.
And we all know that the latest addition to this long chain of opportunistic alliances of Israel is Greece. Israel is exploiting Turkish aggression to portray itself as Greece’s guardian angel. In this context, it is pushing for the immediate outbreak of war with Turkey. At times by promoting the idea of a preemptive strike, even with the endorsement of Greece’s top military leadership, other times under the pretext of liberating Turkish-occupied Cypriot territories, and still other times to advance plans for the exploitation of the Aegean by American multinationals, Israel systematically adds fuel to the fire of rivalries. Its agents find a platform in major media outlets, operating with long-standing impunity—a situation that raises many questions about the schemes in which they play a leading role, while preparing public opinion for the war they are bringing about. Their goal is for Greece to wage war against Turkey—a war that they themselves are afraid to wage.
Just as Israel led the U.S. to go to war with Iran on its behalf (even though there were clear and well-defined American interests that sought the war and profited from its declaration), so Israel wants to get Greece to fight on its behalf against Turkey as well. In the U.S., in fact, there were ministers, generals, and intelligence chiefs who objected and said no, as a New York Times report showed, even though their objections fell on deaf ears… In Greece, not even that!
And if the example of the U.S. shows anything, it’s that once they achieve their goal and provoke a war with Turkey, all these Israeli agents who have gathered in Greece—using public platforms to influence opinion makers, offer advice to political leaders, and establish opaque centers for the proliferation of power— will immediately vanish. And they will blame the Greek political and military leadership for the war and the defeat!
If they did it to Trump, why wouldn’t they do it in Greece?
