How Israel Could Push The U.S. Into Further Bombing Iran

Israel shared intelligence with US of Iranian plot to assassinate Trump, sources say, Jul 9 2026 – CNN

Israel shared intelligence with the United States that Iran had recently devised a new plan to assassinate President Donald Trump, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN, adding another layer of tension as a ceasefire deal between the countries comes under strain.

Other American officials suggested the Israeli report could be an effort to sway Trump’s decision-making as he weighs whether to intensify American military action against Iran.

Trump tells The Post he’s ‘left instructions’ should Iran assassinate him: ‘Bomb them at levels’ never seen before, Jul 10 2026 – NY Post

President Trump on Friday told The Post he has “left instructions” should Iran succeed in their plots to assassinate him — and there’ll be hell to pay.

“I’ve been on their list for a long time. That’s what we’re dealing with,” he said. “… The only thing is, I’ve left instructions — if anything happens, to just literally bomb them at levels that they’ve never seen before.”

If Israel really wants to “intensify American military action against Iran” (and become the recipient of the inevitable retribution), what better way is there now than to remove Donald Trump?

Once he’s gone, his “instructions” are a mute point. The new president will be calling the shots. And it won’t be Iran that pulls the trigger — it’ll be Israel, and the world will know it, but remain silent.

Posted by: Janet | Jul 10 2026 17:25 utc | 5

Hmmm, “leaving instructions” is nonsense, as there will be another person in charge immediately after: ol’ JD, and he may have very different opinions on what needs doing in such an eventuality. So whether or not “instructions exist, they are moot immediately after. 
 
So it’s just another case of appealing to King Orange’s narcissism, not to say it won’t work, both in fact on Trump and as an excuse for him bending to Iz’s will as we wants to anyway. One more excuse …

israel already pushed the usa into doing this, or alternatively the usa is so infested with ziofreaks who want to serve israel, that all roads are open to israel and its endlessly nefarious ways… 
 
so, what else is new?? the folks who assassinate other leaders regularly now use it as propaganda to encourage others to think like them…. what a sick kettle of fish these folks are… 
 
thanks for the update from tel aviv b… i am sure the propaganda planners in israel and the usa are working overtime to come up with more crap like this…

If Trump were assassinated, that would leave Vance in charge. I’m not sure if Vance would do Israel’s bidding like Trump does. Vance is intelligent enough to see which way the wind is blowing with regards to public opinion and Israel. I think he’s also likely to fire Kegseth, although probably not to surrender him to the Hague for war crimes (the school girls, mainly, not to mention the mass murder of Latin Americans “suspected” of being drug traffickers).

I’m suspicious that the Old World Order has a plan to have several catastrophic events occur simultaneously for maximum impact. What if, the oil shortage and a food shortage and a transaction shortage because of potential counterparty risk and a US Government account payments system breakdown and God knows what weather manipulation or intentional infrastructure breakdown like a few transformers and a few pipelines stop working, and that would, all together cause a breakdown in society. (I got suspended for 1 month on Twitter for suggesting something like this, so the Old World Order may be sensitive to this idea.)
 
And when the dust clears, the Old World Order would like to still be in control, with universal basic income, an Internet speech license, and democracy for all corporations but none for living people.

Elijah J. Magnier 🇪🇺  @ejmalrai 
 
If Iran assassinated a US president in an attack while visiting an elementary school section at the Good Tree Academy in Plano, Texas (3600 K Avenue, Plano, TX 75074). The attack killed the president and also killed 175 schoolgirls, ministers, National Security advisers, senior officers and scientists; the world would not describe it as a “targeted operation.” It would be treated as a decapitation strike, a mass-casualty attack, and certainly an act of war. 
 
Legally, once attribution to Iran was accepted, Washington would invoke the right of self-defence under Article 51 of the UN Charter, which recognises self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a UN member state. If the attack occurred on US territory, NATO allies would face immense pressure to treat it as an Article 5 case, since NATO defines an armed attack against one member in Europe or North America as an attack against all, although each ally decides what assistance it considers necessary. Domestically, the vice president would immediately become president under the 25th Amendment.
 
The American public reaction would be volcanic. The assassination of the president alone would traumatise the country. The killing of schoolgirls would make restraint politically impossible. The public would demand revenge, death to the killers and an immediate retaliation, accountability and national unity. 
 
Even many anti-war voices would struggle to argue against a major response because the attack would not be framed as a military strike, but as the murder of children alongside the decapitation of the American state. 
 
The world’s reaction would be overwhelmingly condemnatory. US allies would stand behind Washington. Even governments hostile to the United States would likely avoid openly defending the killing of children and civilian officials. Some populations might say the US had provoked the wider confrontation, but that would not erase the emotional and political shock of the attack on the schoolgirls. The image of a foreign state killing a president in a school full of girls would dominate global consciousness. 
 
If such an attack against the United States would be considered barbaric, illegal, intolerable and deserving of massive retaliation, then similar logic cannot be suspended when the victims are not Americans.

It really has been too peaceful in the death cult colony.  Iran needs to give them what they’re virtually begging for.  They always miraculously sober up a little after getting hit on the regular by Iran.  I know Iran has a plan, but as Israel seems to be constantly driving US Imperialism against Iran, it would make sense to just hit Israel every time the US attacks Iran.  The Zios are hard heads.  They only understand a punch in the face.  That’s it.  Don’t waste a moment negotiating with them.  Pointless.

Yeah, why is America routinely allowed to murder, kidnap, or overthrow the leaders of other countries, but if the USA were hypothetically to get a taste of its own medicine, everybody in the world must pander to America’s self-righteous victimhood?  The US Reichstag Fire event known as September 11th is the best example of this perverse situation. 
 
The United States and its partner-in-crime Israel have *already* murdered many Iranian leaders, including its supreme religious leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, and some of his family members. This is the equivalent of the USA-Israel bombing and killing the Catholic Pope and his family members. 
 
This political double standard demonstrates the true character of America’s Rules Based-World Order. The “rules” apply to thee–but not to me. America and its crime partners make the rules–and orders you to obey them. 
 
Or, put another way, “Quod licet Iovi, non licet bovi”–Gods may do what cattle may not.
 
If you are not part of America’s ruling Epstein class (or one of their crime partners), you are cattle.

US is happy to take potshots, pause, and rinse and repeat for as long as it takes. The situation is turning into a worse situation than that while the jcpoa in that respect. Bombing of Iran has normalized by both sides. Iran seem content on chect-thumping and harping on the “victory” represented by the MOU, and if anything is achieved under it be damned. They walk around with egg on their faces. Pakistan probably tells them thing that amount to smoke up their ass. Such fools.
 
An all-out war? US already tried that and lost. They seem to have realized they can wittle away instead of going for the knockout. A surprising patience you didn’t expect from the clods. They mismanaged the all out version of the war, now that the Zionist regime has found their groove, Irans chances are bleaker than anticipated. They should have never let US economy up for air.

Posted by: Fred | Jul 10 2026 20:47 utc | 62

Caliman @ 6 is correct; the vanity of suggesting Trump could ‘leave instructions’ for the US military which would survive his death is comical, and it provides the best evidence yet that Iran could hardly ask for a better opponent that Trump – I would not be surprised to see the Revolutionary Guard offer to protect him with their lives rather than bump him off, it’s like manipulating a four-year old. Likewise Israel understands perfectly that his narcissism makes him an easy mark for suggestions that he is such a threat that the enemy wants to murder him. Nothing could be further from the truth; his simpleton reasoning blended with his Dunning-Kruger overconfidence results in an American military response to every crisis which is so incoherent it is virtually guaranteed to fail. 

Posted by: Mark | Jul 10 2026 20:49 utc | 63

The Trump claim is almost an open invitation to the Izzies and one sure to unleash a catastrophic (for the US) war against Iran.

Chomsky: ‘At the end I think states ought to dissolve, because I think they’re illegitimate structures… As long as people… are able to free themselves from the doctrinal controls imposed on them by their self-appointed betters and mentors… they’ll continue to be able to struggle for peace and justice and feedom and limitations on violence and constraints on power, as they’ve been doing for hundreds of years… The immediate problem is to free ourselves from the shackles imposed very consciously by the kind of people… who don’t want the facts to be known– and for very good reasons– because if people know the facts, they’re not going to tolerate them. So therefore you have to prevent them from knowing. You have to indoctrinate them. You have to tell them stories about how we’re really good guys and if we use violence it must be for the general good, because we represent the course of history… That’s the job of propagandists for power and violence, and it’s the task of populations to free themselves from those kinds of controls and domination.”

Of course they want to see Trump dead—and not just him, but also Bibi Netanyahu, Pete Hegseth, and many others.
 
Why would that be surprising or outrageous?
 
Who wants to forget that *they* assassinated General Soleimani, Ayatollah Khamenei and his family, civilian scientists and technicians, children, and a multitude of innocent civilians?
 
It’s just that *they* don’t do things the American way—that is, a sordid assassination without a trial and with heavy collateral damage.
 
They will take the time to gather all the evidence for a formal indictment and submit it to national and international judicial bodies.
 
They know full well that so-called international justice will remain silent, thereby giving them free rein to act.
 
It is even possible that this will happen after these assassins have left office.
 
Except, perhaps, for Netanyahu, who might meet his fate in the form of an Iranian missile; he didn’t go into hiding for days for nothing.
 
But it seems clear that the era of impunity to kill other’s leaders is over.

This dreadful creature moaning about being on assassination lists just a few days boasted he could “take out” Iran’s remaining leadership in “one shot” at a funeral for the other guy that assassinated takes chutzpah. I define that word as having the ability to behave with such shameless impudence that normal decent people simply can’t believe it possible.

Netanyahu is surely a dead man. The biggest unknown is how? 
 
 
 
Fun fact: The Shahab-3 Iranian missile has a range of over 1000 miles and can reach Isnotreal.Shahab means meteor or comet in Persian. Very apt name, given how they appear in the night sky.Usually a bad omen, will Netanyahu be taken out by a comet? What is bad for some is good for others.

It’s not possible to negotiate with the US. Even if Trump was sincere what possible way is there to enforce the US or Israel to abide by their side of the treaty? Trump himself tore up Obama’s agreement, repealing it just 10 years after it went into effect. Even if Trump abides by it the next guy may very well not. The neocons don’t negotiate, they seek only your total destruction, neutering or submission, they’re not interested in negotiating peace, they had peace, they wanted war and to win their war.
This war won’t end with an agreement, it’ll end with the US giving up and going home or with a mushroom cloud over Tehran.

If so, please sit things out and focus on thoughts and prayers — you may be overreacting and far too credulous to pay attention to Big Lie Media for the time being.

Although it was barely covered in the Collective West, Iran just engaged in the most powerful incident of Soft Power ever seen with the funeral of Ali Khamenei and those of his family that were assassinated by the Outlaw Mafia Empire and its Zionist Death Cult aides that was seen by the entire remainder of the planet and participated in by well over 35 Million people. Nothing like it has ever been seen before–NOT EVER! And that has left Western narrative liars in a desperate search for something that can be used to counter that event AND the event that caused the need for such a ceremony. I’ll wager Trump thought the gag up himself as it matches his narcissistic persona to a T. And as commented by others upthread, Iran doesn’t exact vengeance in such a pedestrian manner. Burial under a massive pile of concrete and rebar without food and water until he expires would be more apt. IMO, the key is Iran would be foolish beyond belief to take the world’s gaze away from the funeral since it reverberates everywhere, even in a few corners within the West. A photo collage poster of images from all the event sites would sell thousands if not millions globally.
 
Iranians have a high degree of legitimate anger, but they know their history and that Rump is merely one of many meriting retaliation. Iranian energy and effort must be directed at driving the Americans and Zionists out of West Asia and oddly Rump is an asset in that endeavor. Iran and its allies/backers are dealing with the Big Picture while this bit of BS is aimed at sort term narrative gain.

IDF Chief Tells Pilots to Expect ‘Major’ Israeli Operations Against Iran
 
https://news.antiwar.com/2026/07/09/idf-chief-tells-pilots-to-expect-major-israeli-operations-against-iran/
 
“…on the drawing board are new plans. Major operations are still expected to lie ahead of us. Be prepared,’ Zamir said, according to The Times of Israel.
 
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz spoke at the same ceremony as Zamir and said that Israel was ready to strike Iran with ‘greater force,’ something he’s said repeatedly in recent weeks as Israeli officials have made clear they were hoping for the collapse of the MoU.
 
‘The army is ready and on alert for a resumption of fighting, in order to regain our superiority and strike Iran again, to eliminate threats, including a third time if necessary,’ Katz said.
 
‘We proved that the long arm of the Israeli Air Force can reach anywhere, from Yemen to Iran. Yet, we must also acknowledge that the campaign is not over…”

‘You have TDS!’, in many instances, might as well be ‘You’re a conspiracy theorist!’, or ‘You’re an antisemite!’.

 
Nope, calling for assassination of an elected official (or any official, really) is definitely the indicator of an unwell mind. Putin isn’t doing that, is he? Neither is Khamenei, is he? See, not everyone has that mental illness.

Not always, but many times. Netanyahu and so many “Israeli” officials have called out for “assassination of an elected official” and it has been repeated in the media more times than you can shake a stick at.  Trump and official Washington cannot catch their breath long enough to NOT be calling for that.

Posted by: michaelj72 | Jul 10 2026 18:52 utc | 30 ….The American public reaction would be volcanic. The assassination of the president alone would traumatise the country. The killing of schoolgirls would make restraint politically impossible. The public would demand revenge, death to the killers and an immediate retaliation, accountability and national unity……
<= I believe many Americans would understand the assassination especially if coupled to an attack on children was due to the attempt of monopolism to take over the world, not Israel, not Iran, not Russia, not China, not even upset people in the USA..
No matter the attempt to attribute such an assassination and attack on a Texas school to Iran. The media and Trump’s words have convinced the American public beyond reasonable doubt that Iran is a weak country with no means to deliver any kind of attack on USA governed America. USA governed Americans have been indoctrinated to believe USA defense in impenetrable, its military undefeatable and its government the most democratic in the world.
After thinking thorough 911, Kennedy assassination, covid virus, the willingness to deplete strategic oil reserve in deference to a take-over-the-world goal, the massive taxpayer funds the USA gives to foreign places and people, the Epstein case, the situations in Gaza, Lebanon and Ukraine; I think the American people would react against monopoly power even if the media were to identify and point to an actual guilty party. I believe the American people already understand the deep state controls what happens in or to most nation states and nearly all political and financial situations.
I do agree restraint would not be a product of such an event.
I think DJT is safe from external attempts to assassinate him.. The real risk of a successful assassination or Texas School bombing might well prove to be that public opinion turns against the status quo and blames top down monopolism.
Public opinion already understands most of these types of events are false flag events promoting the hate global monopoly power arouses from its victims. I would be interested to hear what Mearsheimer might say?

….According to the channel, the US administration is seeking to maintain a controlled escalation against Iran that does not spiral into a wider war, while refraining, so far, from targeting energy infrastructure…..

‘Everyone knows about Vance’s shady connections because the mainstream media wants us to know; it has targeted him for removal.’

Whose mainstream media?

The mainstream media targetted Trump for removal. (CNN et al)

The mainstream media targetted Biden for removal. (Fox et al)

The mainstream media targetted OBomber for removal. (Fox etc)

The mainstream media targetted Bush for removal (you get the idea…)

And he same patterns appear in the ‘alternative’ media which is mainstream itself now.
