When Trump's reign of error is over we need to push hard for a full investigation into the Boy Blunder's foreign entanglements and his obvious actions as an unregistered foreign agent, not to mention his illegal actions as a phony diplomat.

Kushner, who has no title.

Which is exactly why he should not be speaking at an Administrative level to foriegn dignitaries. I don't believe Steven Witkoff should be there either. How can he represent both the Middle East and Russia in this matter?

Their involvement there makes the Hunter Biden affair look like childs play.

Not to mention he doesn’t have a clue..

I'm no lawyer but it seems pretty clear to me that laws have been broken. I'm no minister but it appears that morality has left the room. I am a mom and I say fuck you, Jared, and your billion dollar cash cow you reach over and tenderly milk while you whisper to your idiot father in law to blow up the house.

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action

In short, Iran agreed with the US and China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the EU to never enrich uranium enough to make a bomb, and by all measures were complying with that agreement. Then during Trump's first term (in 2018) he backed out of that agreement.

The deal Obama struck w Iran that Trump renewed on

JenneJ's avatar

it wasn't just Obama. China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the EU also signed on to the agreement.

Edna's avatar

which is the point of all of this...Obama did this & he has to trash it

This war is an attempt to protect their big plans in Gaza.

Thanks, Judd. Another angle is oil. Iran is top five in oil reserves. While China develops and implements leading edge renewable electric power, Trump has damaged our renewable infrastructure program and focused on dirty, expensive fossil fuels. The US and the world has lost valuable time in the struggle to prevent and mitigate the effects of climate chaos.

See this article by Michael Hudson on oil and the global order: https://www.counterpunch.org/2026/03/02/the-us-israeli-attack-was-to-prevent-peace-not-advance-it/

- Omani mediator stressed that Iran was willing to go further than JCPOA to assure it would not have a bomb

- The outrageous US-Israel attack on negotiators is a grave danger to international law -- and it's the SECOND time they've done it.

- Will nations move away from the dollar?

- Will there be a push for UN reform?

Kushner should be held responsible for bringing us into an attack and potential invasion

This disclosure also highlights the astonishing ignorance this gaggle of goofballs comprises. Not one of them has the background to understand where they are and what they're doing. Not one!

Excellent reporting, as always

But one important detail is missing. What is the context that would support/dispute the claim that Iran was about to launch a first strike?

In 47 years of this regime, I'm not familiar with any sizeable, first air strikes by Iran. Sure, let's of terrorist actions and support for insurgency groups. But a long history contradicts Trump's absurd claim

Katy Bolger's avatar

Domino Theory? WMDs? First Strike Iran? Does it even matter any more? People die and Jared gets richer.

Suki Herr's avatar

Stephen Miller needs to go. Jared should never have been there. Hegseth has moved past ignorantly unqualified to criminal. Marco deserves what he gets.

At this point wouldn’t it be easier to remove Trump&dissolve this administration?

Also freeze Trump family assets.

Brenda's avatar

I hope, if impeachment happens that the government freezes ALL of Trumps family assets immediately. This is SO corrupt!!!!🤬

People are dying, thanks to the most corrupt and ignorant administration conceivable. Again. This after Trump/MAGA Covid debacle. Voters learned nothing.

mark's avatar

trump had an easy time installing his toady in Venezuela and getting oil money for his pocket, so he tried it in Iran, and now he is lining up people to blame for the failure in Iran.

Robert's avatar

Judd, the best breakdown yet on who pushed the orange blob’s buttons…Peter is right on too…but We need multiple independent investigations into everyone in this administration.

Jail and monitory retrieval! This administration will go down in American history as the most corrupt ever.

The official name continues to be the Department of Defense, not the Department of War. I believe that unless the name is legally changed (I think only congress can change the name) we should always refer to it as the Department of Defense.

Follow the money behind Kushner's blatant conflict of interests that's getting Americans killed in the Middle East.

Kushner’s Saudi grift will get Americans killed in a senseless war with Iran: Follow the money.
