We Are At War Because Trump's Paymasters Demand It
We are now staring at mounting evidence that the war with Iran was not just avoidable — it was actively avoided until it suddenly wasn’t.
The people who flipped that switch were not generals, diplomats, or even traditional policymakers with expertise. They were two men with deep financial entanglements in the Gulf: Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff.
In the days leading up to the U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran, Britain’s national security adviser, Jonathan Powell, quietly sat in on the final round of U.S.-Iran nuclear talks in Geneva. He later claimed that a deal was “within reach” to arrest Iran’s nuclear program.
Iran had put forward a serious proposal, which included enhanced oversight and limits on enriched uranium. Mediators believed progress was real. Even Oman, which brokered the talks, said there had been “significant progress” and expected technical negotiations to continue.
