On June 13, 2025, the Israeli military launched a Pearl Harbor-style attack on Iran, killing multiple military officials, diplomats, and nuclear scientists who were key to the US-Iran nuclear talks. For the twelve days, Iran and Israel exchanged fire—with Israel claiming to completely dominate Iranian airspace, while Iranian missiles broke through the Iron Dome and hit multiple targets around Israel. The importance of these events cannot be understated because this “12 Day War” revealed the weaknesses of the Israeli defense systems, the power of Israeli lobbying groups in the United States, the neocon hijacking of the MAGA movement, Trump betraying his voting base, and a true shift from a unipolar world to a multipolar world.

The Israeli Disaster

The Israelis undermined American foreign policy in their sneak attack on June 12. They had claimed to kill Ali Shamkhani—a senior advisor to the Ayatollah who was set to meet with the American envoy in the Middle East, Steve Witkoff. It was supposed to be the sixth round of US-Iranian nuclear talks in Muscat, Oman, but it was canceled after the bombings. It wasn’t until June 25 that this negotiator was revealed to be alive, along with another leader who was also believed to be dead—Esmail Qaani, commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Forces. This operation, which the Israelis had named “Rising Lion,” had been a complete humiliation for them. The Iranians struck back—firing 550 missiles over the course of twelve days—with the Times of Israel reporting the destruction of a power station in southern Israel, an oil refinery in Haifa, and the Weizmann Institute of Science. …

The American Disaster

In the course of twelve days, President Trump has lost an incredible amount of political capital by selling out his entire voting base on behalf of Israel and the neocons at Fox and the Congress. Many of his supporters and allies who have supported him since his first bid for president in 2015, have been thrown to the curb. Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon are “kooks”; Rep. Thomas Massie is no longer a defender of the Constitution, but a loser who needs to be thrown out of office; their replacements? Mark Levin and Sean Hannity on Fox, Laura Loomer, Ted Cruz, Lindsay Graham, and Ben Shapiro are the real heart and soul of the MAGA movement. The Cato Institute released a study that revealed only 16 percent of Americans supported military involvement in this Israeli-Iranian conflict, with 60 percent wanting no involvement. Trump has betrayed his base and, if he does not correct his past actions, he will realistically lose the midterms in 2026; and he will deserve no less. …

Despite the chaos and nonsense coming from the different factions involved, neocons and enemies of peace and freedom in America have been revealed. Senator Ted Cruz, Mark Levin, and the whole of Fox News, as well as AIPAC, are finally getting called out after years of endless wars and propaganda. The establishment media has failed to convince the American people that a war with Iran is necessary because of the integrity of individuals like Judge Napolitano, Tom Woods, Pepe Escobar, and Tucker Carlson; the Iraq 2003 narrative was unable to gain traction among the public. The true losers of this “12 Day War” were the innocent civilians killed and the American taxpayers who will be paying for the spent Israeli air defenses.
