Is Sy Hersh on the wrong side of history again? Vying for an ambassadorship to Isra3l? Reading and believing White House propaganda? Here is the link to his latest post:
"THE URANIUM QUESTION - A mission to take the remaining partially enriched uranium from Iran's nuclear sites could put an end to the war" | SEYMOUR HERSH | APR 07, 2026
"US and Israeli military teams have tracked locations and have been studying the question of how to fight their way into the tunnels and retrieve the enriched materials. The next step, so the thinking goes, would be to transport the canisters by helicopter to a covert US base in Azerbaijan."
Well, the Outlaw Empire tried this stunt, with large loss of life and military assets. While thinking nobody was watching, they landed in an ambush. This massive loss may have triggered tRump's outrageous "Truth" Social post calling Iranians "f-g bastards" and threatening civilizational erasure, an absolute war crime.
Whether or not Iran has nuclear enrichment is reminiscent of the "WMD" accusations against Iraq leading up to the 2003 war on Iraq. This is merely a cover story. One of the two layers of this story is, like Venezuela, the disruption of heavy crude supply to China. If the Outlaw Empire could have done a "Maduro" on Iran, over the February 28 weekend, then war criminal tRump could have proceeded with his month-end visit to China, and played the oil card to get relief from China's shut-in of rare earths and silver. But with the failures of this war, the China visit has been put off.
The other layer of the story is of course, stinking war-criminal Bibi, pulling rank on his puppet president and ordering him to attack Iran. It was Bibi's and Hogsbreath's urging, that this was an easy in-and-out attack possibility, is what convinced the war-criminal pedo-pres to act.
So April 8th there is this imaginary ceasefire, which, if Iran's 10-Points hold up, is absolute surrender of the pedo-pres. But stinking Bibi wants to continue with his "Greater isra3l" project, and until that settler colony is eliminated, how can there be peace in West Asia?
Regarding this truly insane rant from the war-criminal pedo-pres on erasing Iran's civilization, which apparently implies a nuclear attack, it was met with total horror in all the rest of the world, except the spineless nations of the white North, none of whom uttered a peep. This is just what America does! Thus, the most meaningful group who could sponsor war crimes tribunals, the white North (Europe, Canada) will just sit on their hands. Iran has been fighting on behalf of the entire global majority – all of Asia and the Global South. It was this "coalition of the stinking" 40 countries in a recent virtual meeting, that was calling for an end to the "closure" of the Strait of Hormuz, along the lines of the Bahrain resolution at the UN Security Council that Russia and Chine properly vetoed. It is these very countries that together could have the power to tell the pedo-pres to STFU and go home. THEY are the ones that always chicken out.
Back to the Hersh notion of ending the war. Taking Iran's nuclear materials could "end the war"? Yes, that would have the effect of taking that bogus cover-issue off the table, satisfying some of the U.S. war-hawks. But the real issue here is that Iran + China, in causing oil shipments through Hormuz to be paid for in Chinese yuan, have broken the back of U.S. dollar hegemony on the world, and broken America's total control over who in the world is allowed to have an oil supply. Iran, standing half-way between the war-criminal settler-colony and China, has suffered greatly in these waves of criminal bombing, yet resolutely stands its ground in the first steps to break the evil Empire.
Pakistan was simply the message carrier, not an intermediator. China asked Iran to go to the table, telling them we have your back. Iran reported that they still have about 15K missiles and 40K drones. War criminal tRump has LOST the air war and LOST the ground invasion (at Isfahan) yet could still use nuclear weapons.
Iran has not yet used any of the heavy ballistic missiles from North Korea, which could actually reach USA. N. Korea is enjoying observing actual battlefield experience in Iran for their air defence systems, against the world's #1 Enemy, which have changed the course of this war. Stinking war criminal Bibi pretended he had no knowledge of the "ceasefire" talks, and launched a major attack on Lebanon, biggest strike yet, in downtown Beirut, 100 bombs in 10 minutes, in downtown shopping areas. As well, they sprayed Lebanese fields and pastures with 50x strength Round-Up to poison their fields for years, another form of genocide.
Due to threats from the zionist evil, Pakistan is providing military escort for the Iranian delegation to the talks in Pakistan, see the report on Mahmood OD, flying along with six fighter planes. The Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, says time is short, and if there is "drama" at the meeting in Pakistan, or if the U.S. is rejecting their 10-Point plan, then no negotiations. The 10-point plan itself is not negotiable. If it is accepted, THEN negotiations may begin.
These are truly troubling times, with no easy corrective course, especially with the complicit white North being fence turtles.
