by Matt Agorist, The Free Thought Project: The US and Israel are waging a war of aggression against Iran. Non-existent “nuclear weapons” are the absurd fig leaf. Trump and Netanyahu admitted they want regime change, to put a puppet in Tehran. (Geopolitical Economy Report) The United States and Israel are waging a war of aggression against Iran. […]

In an absolutely iconic statement, President Trump told ABC News: “I got him before he got me.  They tried twice.  Well, I got him first.” The President was speaking of course about the “Supreme Leader” Khamenei. BREAKING: President Trump just gave ABC News the line of the century: “I got him before he got me. They tried twice. Well, I got him first.” No one has more aura than President Trump. God bless you, Mr. President! Follow: @BoLoudon pic.twitter.com/mffoeb8q2R — Bo Loudon (@BoLoudon) March 2, 2026 President Trump refers to Iran trying twice, and it is unclear if President Trump is implying Iran was behind Butler, PA and the Mar-a-Lago attempt or whether these are two separate, previously unknown attempts. Meanwhile, does everyone remember in 2022 when Khamenei published a video depicting Trump’s assassination online? From The Independent: Iran’s supreme leader has released an animated video on his official website depicting the assassination of former US president Donald Trump, a blunt and provocative gesture at a time of ongoing international talks about the Iranian nuclear programme. The video, which appeared late on Wednesday on the website of supreme leader Ali Khamenei, shows Iranian military officials manoeuvring high-tech surveillance and unmanned combat vehicles toward Mr Trump while he plays golf in a subtropical setting similar to his Florida home. It follows the second anniversary of the US’s 3 January 2020 assassination of Qassem Soleimani, the former commander and architect of Iran’s overseas clandestine paramilitary operations. Last week, Iran announced sanctions on Mr Trump and 50 other current and former US officials allegedly involved in the operation to kill Soleimani in a Baghdad drone strike that also struck and killed Abu Mahdi al-Mohandis, former leader of Iran’s militias. Those added to the largely symbolic Iranian sanctions list included general Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and former White House national security adviser Robert O’Brien. The US called the sanctions a provocation. “We will work with our allies and partners to deter and respond to any attacks carried out by Iran,” US national security adviser Jake Sullivan said in a statement on Sunday in response to the sanctions. “Should Iran attack any of our nationals, including any of the 52 people named yesterday, it will face severe consequences.” Semi-official Iranian media outlets have previously published or broadcast violent anti-American material. Last year, a Twitter account associated with Mr Khamenei, a high-ranking Shia cleric or ayatollah, was suspended for posting an image of the shadow of a drone over an image of a plump Mr Trump playing golf. Posting the Trump video to Mr Khamenei’s official website suggested a further escalation. The two-minute clip was the winner of a competition organised to honour Mr Soleimani, who had a personal relationship with the supreme leader. The video opens with a shot of a figure strongly resembling Trump playing golf while a remote-controlled robot moves past security cameras disarmed by a remote hacker. The drone operator, with portraits of Mr Soleimani and Mr Muhandi on the computer console in front of him, puts Mr Trump in his sights and then texts a message vowing revenge to one of the former president’s golfing pals. The video ends before the airstrike is launched. The video has since been scrubbed from his account, but I still have a copy. This is the video he posted in 2022 threatening Trump: Meanwhile, here is one of the new leaders (for now?) chanting “Death to America” back in 2019: The acting Supreme Leader of Iran is now Ayatollah Alireza Arafi. Here’s him in 2019 leading the crowd chanting “Death to America, Death to England, Death to the hypocrites and the infidels, Death to Israel.” I don’t think he’s going to last very long. pic.twitter.com/QNbPFzsRjr — Yehuda Teitelbaum (@chalavyishmael) March 1, 2026 Seems like a charming fellow!

Secretary of State Marco Rubio just said Iran has been producing up to 100 ballistic missiles per month. They were meant to be used as a shield for nukes “Compare that to building 6-7 interceptors per month!” “You see the attacks now?! Airports. Hotels. Embassies. Facilities. Nothing to do with war—and that’s a weakened Iran! […] The post Secretary Rubio Explains the Shocking Reason Why They Hit Iran appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

For decades, the Islamic Republic of Iran and its genocidal proxies have operated under the delusion that they could hide behind layers of “security” while plotting the destruction of Israel. This week, that illusion didn’t just crack — it was detonated. The elimination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a precision strike on his Tehran compound is the crowning achievement of a multi-year intelligence campaign that proves Israel doesn’t just fight its enemies; it owns them. The brilliance of the operation began not with a bomb, but with a lens. While the Iranian regime poured billions into regional terror, Israeli cyber-warriors were quietly hijacking the very infrastructure meant to keep Tehran secure. According to the Financial Times, Unit 8200 and Mossad hacked nearly every traffic camera in the Iranian capital years ago. For the “loyal” bodyguards of the regime, a commute to the Pasteur Street compound was a mundane routine. For Israel, it was a data stream. Encrypted images flowed directly to servers in Tel Aviv, where complex algorithms built a “pattern of life” for every high-ranking official. Israel knew where these terrorists parked their cars, what time they grabbed coffee, and which routes they took to work. As one official put it, “We knew Tehran like we know Jerusalem. And when you know [a place] as well as you know the street you grew up on, you notice a single thing that’s out of place.” By the time the order was given to strike, Israel didn’t just hit a building; they hit a specific room at a specific second because they had spent years watching the front door through the regime’s own cameras. Israel’s intelligence has conducted other vaunted operations recently, of course, the kind of psychological and tactical warfare that belongs in the history books, such as the “Beeper Operation.” Understanding that Hezbollah and Tehran were becoming paranoid about smartphone tracking, Israel decided to give them exactly what they wanted: a “secure,” low-tech alternative. In a sting operation of biblical proportions, Mossad created a “pretend world” of shell companies and fake supply chains. They didn’t just intercept a shipment; they manufactured the devices. Hezbollah thought they were buying rugged, waterproof Apollo pagers from Taiwan. In reality, they were distributing 5,000 Israeli-made bombs directly to their mid-level commanders. The ingenuity was ruthless. To read an “encrypted message,” a user had to press two buttons simultaneously with both hands. When the signal was sent, the terrorists’ hands were neutralized. Moments later, a second signal detonated the remaining devices, often while they were in the pockets of the targets. When the survivors panicked and retreated to their “backup” walkie-talkies — devices Israel had surreptitiously sold them a decade earlier—the Mossad simply pressed another button. Entire rooms of terrorists were neutralized by the very equipment they trusted to keep them safe. By turning Tehran’s cameras against the Ayatollah and turning Hezbollah’s communications into claymores, Israel has sent a message to its enemies: We are watching you through your own cameras. We are listening through your own devices. And when the time comes, we don’t even need to be in the room to finish the job.

A controversial Maine Democrat already dogged by questions over a tattoo resembling a Nazi symbol is again under fire after promoting an openly antisemitic conspiracy theorist — the latest episode in a pattern critics say underscores how radical and politically toxic he is. Graham Platner, a 41-year-old Senate candidate seeking the Democratic nomination to take on incumbent Susan Collins (R-ME), faced backlash this week after amplifying a social media post about a looming war with Iran from Stew Peters, a neo-Nazi influencer known for Holocaust denial and antisemitic rhetoric. Platner later deleted the post, with his campaign claiming it was shared “in error” and removed immediately after discovering it elevated a “despicable account.” But the incident was not isolated. In late January, Platner appeared for an hour-long interview on Valhalla VFT, a YouTube show hosted by Nate Cornacchia, a retired Green Beret who has promoted conspiracy theories alleging Israeli involvement in high-profile assassinations and suggesting the global war on terror was conducted at the “behest of Israel.” During the interview, Platner described himself as “a longtime fan” of the show and said it was “an absolute pleasure” to appear. Cornacchia has pushed claims tying Israel to the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk and agreed with assertions that President John F. Kennedy was “probably” killed in a covert joint operation between the CIA and Mossad. Platner’s campaign did not respond to Jewish Insider’s questions about Cornacchia’s remarks. The controversy compounds scrutiny Platner has faced since last year over a tattoo on his chest that closely resembled a Totenkopf, the skull-and-crossbones emblem adopted by an infamous Nazi SS unit. Platner said he received the tattoo while serving in the Marine Corps during a drunken night in Croatia and claimed he was unaware of its historical meaning at the time. The Associated Press later confirmed that he had the tattoo covered once the comparison became public, saying he did not want a symbol associated with hate on his body. “For what it’s worth,” Maine Governor Janet Mills, who’s running against Platner in the Democratic primary for the Senate seat, quipped on X amid the controversy, “I don’t have any tattoos.” In past posts, Platner has described U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East as being overly shaped by “foreign influence,” and has argued that Washington’s alliance structure requires “fundamental rethinking.” Critics say such rhetoric mirrors themes common in online spaces where antisemitic conspiracy theories flourish. National Republicans have begun to take notice. A spokesperson for the National Republican Senatorial Committee blasted Platner this week, saying Democrats are “flirting with extremism” in a race they view as central to their hopes of regaining Senate control. Allies of Collins have also circulated screenshots of Platner’s deleted posts, arguing they raise serious questions about his judgment. The Democratic primary race in Maine is expected to be one of the most closely watched Senate contests of the cycle. Democrats view the seat held by moderate Republican Collins as a key pickup opportunity. But Platner’s growing list of controversies, from boosting a neo-Nazi influencer to praising a YouTube host who traffics in antisemitic conspiracies, to the lingering fallout over his tattoo, threatens to complicate that strategy.
