Benjamin Netanyahu gave Israeli commanders a 48-hour deadline to destroy Iran‘s weapons industry from his Tel Aviv bunker after reviewing Donald Trump‘s proposed peace plan.
Netanyahu ordered the Israel Defense Forces to strike as many high-value Iranian targets as possible as the US submitted a 15-point peace plan on Tuesday.
The Israeli prime minister and his top military advisers were alarmed the US plan did not go far enough to curb Tehran’s military capabilities, despite its tight restrictions on Iran’s missile stockpile and nuclear program.
Netanyahu’s Thursday deadline reflects deep concern within the Israeli government that Trump could reach a deal with Tehran at any moment, sources say.
Israeli officials present at Netanyahu’s underground meeting described the atmosphere as ‘tense.’
Iran wants Vice President JD Vance at the negotiating table to help end the ongoing Middle East conflict after Trump sent the nation a 15-point ceasefire plan.
Iranian officials reportedly said they would rather talk with Vance because top Mideast envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner ‘stabbed them in the back.’
‘The perception is that Vance would be intent on wrapping up the conflict’ as opposed to Kushner, Witkoff or Secretary of State Marco Rubio, sources told CNN.
Another Middle East source went further, telling The Telegraph Iran thought Kushner and Witkoff were ‘backstabbers.’
‘Vance is preferred. They don’t want to work with Jared and Witkoff because they stabbed them in the back,’ the source told The Telegraph.
NY Times has essentially confirmed that Israel played a role in stimulating the violent regime change riots that left around 3000 dead in Iran this January 8 and 9, but which were marketed in the West as pro-democracy protests.
It was well understood by the Mossad that those riots would help stimulate military action by Trump.
Israeli intel merely needed to convince the feeble-minded president that a wave of decapitation strikes would unleash a massive upheaval to immediately topple the Islamic Republic. The January riots were presented to Trump as a preview of what was to come.
Western media, including the NY Times and The Guardian, played a central role in legitimizing Israel’s deception by falsely characterizing the violent regime change riots as mere protests, massively inflating the death toll and covering up the fact that many were murdered by the Israel-backed rioters themselves
The whole of Western media and the Western human rights industrial complex deliberately misrepresented the real character of those riots. But now that the war they helped to instigate is going badly for the US and Israel, that same media is now free to reveal a few kernels of truth.
Key Insight: TACO is not a literal game but a strategic behavioral model reflecting how unpredictable leadership can create exploitable patterns in financial markets.
TACO in game theory primarily refers to the “Trump Always Chickens Out” (TACO) theory, a meme-based investment and political strategy concept. It describes a pattern where former U.S. President Donald Trump makes aggressive policy announcements—such as imposing high tariffs or threatening military actions—only to reverse course when markets react negatively, often leading to a rebound in stock prices. This behavior creates a predictable market expectation: buy assets when Trump makes a threatening move, as the market will likely recover after he “chickens out.”
This theory is rooted in game theory, where both Trump and financial markets are seen as players in a strategic interaction. If markets know Trump will back down, they may not panic—yet a small initial reaction is necessary for him to receive the signal that his actions are destabilizing. As noted by Nate Silver, this creates a mixed-strategy equilibrium: Trump must sometimes follow through on threats to maintain credibility, while markets must react to some degree to signal their concerns.
Recent developments (as of March 2026) suggest the TACO theory has become more viral, potentially leading Trump to stick to more extreme positions to prove he isn’t bluffing, increasing market volatility. The concept has been analyzed in financial media, including Bloomberg and the Financial Times, and is often linked to the broader “Trump Put” idea—where markets assume he will intervene to stabilize the economy.
Donald Trump has halted all strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure after what he described as ‘very good conversations’ aimed at ending the war, even as Tehran rejects his claim that peace talks are underway.
The President said that the US and Iran had ‘very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities’ over the last two days.
Trump said he had ordered the Defense Department ‘to postpone any and all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a five day period.’
He warned that the cessation of the strikes was ‘subject to the success of the ongoing meetings and discussions.’
Iranian state media pushed back on Trump’s claims of ceasefire talks, insisting that no direct or indirect negotiations with the US have taken place.
A regime source taunted Trump by claiming after ‘hearing that our targets would include all power stations in West Asia, he backed down.’
Trump’s ceasefire announcement comes after he threatened over the weekend to bomb Iran’s electricity grid unless the regime reopened the Strait of Hormuz with 48 hours.
US CENTCOM chief says Iran targeting civilians out of ‘desperation’
__________
Both pieces of news—one from Trump and one from CENTCOM—sound like empty war propaganda, with the same dubious points repeated many times. If there is to be a winner, I hope it is USA. Starting this war appears to have been a massive error stemming from Jewish Supremist control of Trump, Congress, US media and finance, to name but a few of the top players. The best result of this war so far is Jewish Supremacy and its stranglehold over USA and the West is blatantly on display and tens of millions of Americans and others worldwide are seeing it. ABN
Col. Macgregor says Putin has already delivered a terrifying ultimatum to Netanyahu: If Israel dares to use a nuclear weapon in the Middle East, Russia will drop a nuclear weapon on Israel. The US has no idea what it just walked into.
Former Egyptian Ambassador to Tel Aviv, Atef Salem, stated that mounting speculation suggests Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may be sheltering in fortified underground sites in Jerusalem – possibly even beneath the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound.
Salem emphasized that rumors can often serve as a psychological weapon during wartime but typically only gain traction when information is clouded by ambiguity. He explained that it is common for leaders to limit their public appearances for security reasons.
He added that some assessments suggest Netanyahu could be utilizing a fortified room or bunker beneath the Al-Aqsa Mosque as part of the extreme measures taken by Israeli leadership to ensure their safety during escalations.
Salem observed that the current conflict between Iran and Israel is a prime example of this dynamic. The lack of transparency surrounding events has opened the door for contradictory narratives.
He highlighted that Israel is rigorously controlling the publication of images and videos from within its borders, threatening heavy fines and penalties for anyone documenting scenes that could reveal the reality on the ground.
These restrictions—combined with limited access for field journalists—make it difficult to verify reports of damage and destruction in several Israeli cities.
Israel’s veiled threat to Moscow came just after Russian media warned traffic cameras in Moscow were vulnerable to the same exploits that Israel reportedly used to monitor Ayatollah Khamenei’s residence before assassinating him.
Israeli military spokeswoman Anna Ukolova has drawn outrage in Moscow after threatening that Russian authorities who “wish Israel ill” could be subject to “elimination,” while suggesting Israel could hack into Russian closed-circuit television cameras to identify and track targets.
Asked by a journalist with Russian radio broadcaster RBC whether Israel had access to Russian traffic cameras, Ukolova declined to answer directly but warned that “Khamenei’s elimination shows our capabilities are serious” and that “no one who wishes us harm will be left aside.”
She added, ominously, “I hope Moscow does not wish Israel ill right now – I’d like to believe that.”
Ukolova’s statements came just days after it was revealed that a large number of Russian CCTVs were potentially using BriefCam – an Israeli video analysis software that closely matches the description of a program the Netanyahu regime reportedly deployed to track Iranian movements outside the home of Iran’s Supreme Leader before they assassinated him during their February 28 sneak attack.
UPDATE: Below is a thoughtful comment I found under the article above. It describes precisely how a great deal of mind-control works. Define the terms, commandeer the psycholinguistics and you will control entire civilizations, and move them in any direction you like. ABN
1. Humans are highly cogno-linguistic. We perceive reality largely by the language that we use to describe it. Most everyone believes and presumes that you have to be able to think something before you can say it. The more dominant-reality is that, above a certain base-level of perception and communication, you have to have the words, language, grammar, and comprehensive-concordance-syntax by which to say something before you can think it. Whosoever controls language – controls the mind – for better or for worse.
2. The world is ever-increasingly controlled and administered by people who genuinely believe whatever is necessary for the answer they need. Administrative agents of broadly-defined entrenched-financial-power have solved the criminal-law enigma of mens rea or guilty-mind by evolving or devolving (take your pick) into professional-schizophrenics who genuinely believe whatever they need to believe for the answer they need, and who communicate among themselves subconsciously by how they name things, and by how things are named for them. They suffer a cogno-linguistically-induced diminished-capacity that renders them largely-incapable of perceiving reality beyond labels.
3. Their core business-model or modus operandi is called a systematized-delusion:
“A “systematized delusion” is one based on a false premise, pursued by a logical process of reasoning to an insane conclusion ; there being one central delusion, around which other aberrations of the mind converge.” Taylor v. McClintock, 112 S.W. 405, 412, 87 Ark. 243. (West’s Judicial Words and Phrases (1914)).
Iran fired two ballistic missiles at a joint US-UK military base in the Indian Ocean just hours after Keir Starmer gave the green light for Donald Trump to use UK-based bombers threatening the Straits of Hormuz.
The move prompted Tehran to warn the Prime Minister he had placed British lives ‘in danger’ by consenting to Trump’s request to use B-52s and other aircraft flying out of RAF Fairford and Diego Garcia to blast Iranian missile sites in the strategically important waterway.
Multiple US officials confirmed to the outlet that neither missile had struck the base. Two sources said one of the missiles failed in flight, while the other was intercepted by a US warship, but the action is a concerning development in the third week of the US-Israeli war on Iran.
Two deep points worth mentioning: 1) Trump is doing Netanyahu’s bidding because he fears Jewish Supremists will kill or harm him or members of his family; and 2) Starmer, who appears to be a Jewish Supremist, is purposely destroying Britain through the mass invasion of migrants. Starmer is Jewish but you do not need to be Jewish to be a Jewish Supremist. Some 50 million Zionist Christians in USA are fundamentally Jewish Supremists. They are at the bottom of the JS pyramid, but they are JS nonetheless and will be harmed or killed like Charlie Kirk if they turn against JS. This is the deep fact at the heart of what is now WW3 destroying the world economy. The more people understand this, the better our chances for a better world. JS do not care about anyone else’s blood, treasure or land. They only care about their own blood, treasure and land, which is ultimately, in their fantasies, the entire world once everyone else is killed or enslaved. ABN
