Israel has taken a huge beating – possibly more than Trump – in the way American voters have used their thumbs to register outrage at the Zionist-engineered US/Israeli military campaigns on the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The Zionist-apartheid regime has to accept the bitter fact that following the US midterm election on Tuesday, the Trump administration is extremely weakened and all Iran has to do is simply outlast Trump.
However, the alternative is to once again bully and blackmail Trump to unleash US military power and in conjunction with it, to pummel Iran with the goal of achieving regime change before the end of the year.
The deadline is real because come January, the Democrats will be in control of both the Senate and the Congress.
With fresh pro-Palestinian members able to pressure Trump with probes and suss out key appointments, also the ability to freeze defense budgets, Trump will be forced to rethink his love of Netanyahu’s satanist war goals.
In its latest analysis, the Jerusalem Post argues that it is a battle Trump can postpone but cannot really win.
“That is because it is clear that both Democrats and Republicans – see the results in Texas, South Carolina, and other states the Democrats almost never win – heavily soured on the war or, to be more precise, its impact on their gas prices.”
The warning it offers the Zionist regime is that it must realize that whether or not there is a third round of war with Iran, “Washington and Jerusalem are about to diverge on the Islamic Republic”.
The cracks have begun and are huge.
CBS News reports Trump is weighing whether to keep Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth after the midterm losses, citing multiple sources.
The fallout is devastating for Israel and Zionist strategists are licking their wounds being confronted with the fact that both Trump himself and Vice President JD Vance cited the war with Iran as one of the primary reasons behind the Republicans’ losses.
According to Fox News, Vance’s remarks mark a shift in his public assessment of the war’s political consequences, after previously defending aspects of the administration’s military campaign while expressing concerns about prolonged U.S. involvement overseas.
Trump said Wednesday he agreed with Vance’s post that Republicans lost over the War with Iran, saying it was “largely true.”
No matter how Zionists may spin the narrative, the genocidal regime cannot conceal the sting in the most damning charge Vance made: “change our relationship to Israel.”
“The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night. If you’d like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that’s at least honest. But everyone knows why we lost,” said Vance. “And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there.”
As for South Africa, while Israeli – aligned opposition groups have blamed International Relations Minister Ronald Lamola and President Cyril Ramaphosa for letting ties with the US deteriorate, it is encouraging to note that the country will never surrender its domestic sovereignty regarding land reform or its foreign policy stances.
Indeed, Lamola stated that the shift in congressional power will allow US lawmakers to hold President Donald Trump accountable for “irrational foreign policy decisions” that have bypassed due process.
He specifically highlighted that a Democrat-controlled Congress could push back against the White House’s false allegations of an “Afrikaner genocide” in South Africa.
Regarding Iran, BBC reports that the Islamic Republic’s chief negotiator in talks with the US has said that Americans voted “NO TO WAR”, following the stunning defeat which Trump’s Republican Party suffered.
“We endorse this message,” parliament speaker Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf wrote on X.
“If the US [government] betrays their public will to serve international paymasters and blackmailers, it will learn our NO comes with a Nightmare,” he warned.
At the same time, Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has warned that he did not expect US policy to change.
Ayatollah Khamenei released a statement saying anyone who thought there would be any change from American “hostility towards the Iranian nation” was “gravely mistaken”.
Whatever may be plotted between Trump and Netanyahu, a scathing commentary in the Guardian captures the dramatic changes in an almost poetic fashion:
“Indeed, come January, the US House will include an army doctor who went on a medical mission in Gaza, a lawyer who was fired by her firm over a blogpost criticizing Israel’s war, a Jewish lawmaker who was recently detained by Israeli forces while helping Palestinian’s harvest olives in the occupied West Bank, and a community organizer who participated in a pro-Palestine student encampment and scored one of the primary season’s most stunning upsets under the banner ‘babies, not bombs’”.
