I’ve read that many top Iranian officials did not want the attacks on Israel to end. And why should they? It would have been within the law, and within reason, to pummel the Zionist state until they agreed to end their killing and allow full aid to enter Gaza. Enforcing this would have been a separate problem of course. But if the Houthi’s can bring International shipping to its knees, then solutions don’t seem to be impossible.

As always, I’m aware of the Sampson option, holding the whole world hostage.

FYI - several days ago (7/3) I found an extraordinary podcast by the invaluable Mike Benz ("The Secret Backstory of Russia-gate Fraud") -- on the 25+ year origin of Russia-gate fraud and hatred of Putin to this day. I believe it is impossible to overstate the importance and brilliance of this episode – extension of now forbidden Alex Kreiner’s book “Grand Deception”.

The Secret Backstory Of "Russia-gate" Fever: How Putin's 2003 Arrest Of The Blob's Top Oligarch Asset Inside Russia Sparked The Foreign Policy Flame War Trump Inherited -- Mike Benz @MikeBenzCyber -- July 3, 2025

Ukraine was just a repeat, by same people, of what was happening in Russia before Putin stopped it.

Once again, it is simply not possible to overstate the importance of this timely analysis…

Another item -- Mike is pushing boundaries of video podcasting - by using novel and entertaining approach to a very complex subject and uses past and present since the repulsive players are still the same.
