Failure breeds panic. Yet, this panic does not concern the Iranians but the Trump team, who see the operational deadlock of the Americans. They see that the Strait of Hormuz has closed, striking the global energy market and causing outrage among major oil companies—despite them profiting from the price surge—and they are urging Trump to strike Iran with tactical nuclear weapons, specifically certain specialized tactical nukes. The Russian side has diagnosed this, and the message is clear: if the US dares to use tactical nuclear weapons, it will enter a one-way street with no return; retaliation will be of equal scale and intensity.
The bad news comes from Turkey
A leak appeared in the Turkish media on March 15, 2026, stating that "the Trump team is working urgently on escape routes from the Middle East" due to the complete failure of its operational plan. Many claim that Trump is so deeply mired that there is no turning back—but this is not true. Undoubtedly, the consequences for the current US administration will be terrible, but "the young were no longer young," and they are no strangers to retreating in shame. They will certainly find a way to spin it as a win, so there is no issue there.
Netanyahu is very dangerous
However, there is someone for whom retreat is absolutely impossible, and he will do everything to ensure that the Americans not only remain but also put everything at risk, including the most unthinkable. This someone is Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. For him, the war with Iran is the only and final window of opportunity to maintain his power and freedom and to destroy the main enemy, Iran, against the religious-Zionist forces leading Israel.
Russia warns that something is wrong
In an interview, the Russian Ambassador to Israel, Anatoly Viktorov, stated that "the elements of the war spinning out of control are already obvious to everyone." It might seem that this refers to an economic shock spreading across the world, the involvement of new parties in the conflict, the further destruction of the international security system, a humanitarian crisis, and so on. In reality, it may mean something entirely different—and much more dangerous.
Why does the US want a new September 11?
The Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, Larijani, stated that "the remaining members of the Epstein team" are preparing a staged terrorist attack similar to the September 11 attacks (on the Twin Towers in New York) in order to blame Iran. The question arises: why? After all, the most powerful military force (the United States) is already targeting Iranian targets day and night and did not need terrorist attacks from Iran for this.
Failure of the American operation in Iran panics Americans and Israelis
The fact is that it is becoming increasingly clear that Iran is failing to self-destruct under existing forces and capabilities. In fact, it is even intensifying the retaliation it imposes. And here, Trump's recent statement that the United States "could destroy Iran, making it permanently uninhabitable, in one hour, and we have the weapons to do it," sheds an entirely different light. One does not need to be a nuclear scientist to understand he is talking about nuclear weapons.
There truly is a plan, as supported by the British newspaper The Guardian
During decades of nuclear deterrence, we have become accustomed to the idea that the actual use of nuclear weapons is a taboo once and for all... so they will never be used. We all say this... and we all rest easy... that it is simply rhetoric and threats but not substance. But it is worth remembering that the Americans have calmly and repeatedly discussed this option in military briefings attended by President Trump himself. Specifically, according to the British newspaper The Guardian, this was discussed in 2025 in the context of preparations for strikes on Iran (the "Twelve-Day War"), when experts reported to Trump that they could not guarantee the destruction of Iranian nuclear facilities even with the most powerful bunker-buster bombs. After that, a routine plan was proposed: first, targets would be "softened" with conventional bombs, and then tactical nuclear weapons would be used. And then Trump would go for coffee and donuts.
The US abandoned the plan in 2025
However, after analyzing the risks to their international image, the United States decided to abandon nuclear weapons against Iran. At this moment, Israel needs the "nuclear option" above all else to bind the United States to its side forever as accomplices in a horrific crime that could shock the world. The Americans will not agree to this directly.
What remains? The revelation from the University of Vienna in Austria
In 2022, a research center at the University of Vienna in Austria published a paper on the theoretical possibility of using nuclear weapons, and its main conclusion was this: to solve the insoluble problem of a nuclear attack, the first step is "to find a moral justification for the use of this force (nuclear weapons)." In other words, the global community can theoretically accept this only if the target is absolute evil.
The "dirty" bomb plan explodes in a US city
Let's imagine a situation where a "dirty" bomb explodes somewhere in America, labeled "Made in Iran," and a well-preserved suicide note from the bomber is found lying around, in which he curses Trump and all Americans who killed his family and relatives with their bombings, adding that it was a personal order from the Ayatollah. After the explosion, hundreds of thousands of people die in a horrific way... dismembered people lie in the streets, and international media immediately target Iran... the terrorist state... so nuclear "retaliation" might work.
Who could organize such a thing, even without the knowledge of the Americans - The Susanna case
International media for decades have argued that the Israeli Mossad has repeatedly carried out terrorist operations through deceptive means. This includes the organization of dozens of bombings in Iraq under Operation Ali Baba in 1950, targeting local Jews, which caused the immediate exodus of 120,000 people from the country to Israel. This also includes Operation Susanna in 1954, when Mossad agents posing as Islamic terrorists carried out bombings in Egypt to prevent the British from leaving. In the current conflict, Iranian officials have repeatedly claimed that Israel is responsible for attacks on neighboring Arab states using clones of Iranian drones.
There is a last hope
There is hope that American leaders will still be able to restrain their allies, who are pressing them suffocatingly. However, this will only work if the powerful Jewish lobby does not move in the opposite direction and begins to pressure the Americans in such a way that the US leadership, acting as a puppet, will obey.
