Trump’s “Operation Midnight Hammer” attack on June 22, 2025 against Iran’s nuclear facilities involved the dispatch of B-2 aircraft out of the Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri. 
This complex and improvised Operation was under the auspices of US Central Command (USCENTCOM), based in Florida, in close coordination with US Strategic Command (USSTRACOM) in Omaha, Nebraska.

On Saturday night, U.S. warplanes attacked three Iranian nuclear sites, marking the first time the U.S. has attacked on Iranian soil in the decades-long cold war between the two countries. President Trump’s announcement, posted on Truth Social, stated that the U.S. had attacked the nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan in a bombardment dubbed “Operation Midnight Hammer.” The escalation was met with jubilation from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who had relentlessly pushed for the operation. Likewise, Trump’s hardline supporters praised the act of war, while across the spectrum in the U.S., many officials and segments of the public have expressed condemnation—whether on constitutional grounds, or because of opposition to the US entering a potential forever war with a country of 90 million people.

Michael Hudson: War on Iran is fight for US unipolar control of world

Economist Michael Hudson explains how the war on Iran seeks to stop countries from breaking away from US unipolar control and dollar hegemony, and to disrupt Eurasian integration with China & Russia.

But Iran is not only the capstone to full control of the Near East and its oil and dollar holdings. Iran is a key link for China’s Belt and Road Initiative for a New Silk Road of railway transport to the West.
If the United States can overthrow the Iranian government, this interrupts the long transportation corridor that China already has constructed and hopes to extend further west.
Iran also is a key to blocking Russian trade and development via the Caspian Sea and access to the south, bypassing the Suez Canal. And under U.S. control, an Iranian client regime could threaten Russia from its southern flank.
To the neocons, all this makes Iran a central pivot on which the U.S. national interest is based – if you define that national interest as creating a coercive empire of client states observing dollar hegemony by adhering to the dollarized international financial system.
I think that Trump’s warning to Tehran’s citizens to evacuate their city is just an attempt to stir up domestic panic as a prelude to a U.S. attempt to mobilize ethnic opposition as a means to break up Iran into component parts. It is similar to the U.S. hopes to break up Russia and China into regional ethnicities.

Trump’s War on Iran Is Illegal, Reckless—and Must Be Stopped

Trumps War on Iran Is Illegal Recklessand Must Be Stopped
Medea Benjaminand CODEPINK Alert Jun 22, 2025
By Medea Benjamin
In the early hours of Sunday morning, the Trump administration bombed three nuclear sites in Iran—without congressional approval, without public support, and without any legal justification. This reckless, illegal escalation pulls the United States deeper into a war the American people do not want and never authorized.
This act of aggression has nothing to do with protecting U.S. interests. It’s a dangerous favor to the Netanyahu government—one that defies our Constitution, violates international law, and risks triggering a catastrophic regional war. It endangers U.S. troops, allies, and civilians throughout the Middle East. And it makes all of us less safe.
This is not about nuclear weapons. It’s about regime change. U.S. efforts to overthrow governments—from Iraq to Afghanistan to Libya—have brought nothing but devastation. Regime change fantasies ignore the sovereignty of nations and substitute military might for political solutions. Iran is a complex, populous country with a proud history of resisting foreign domination. Trying to overthrow its government would almost certainly plunge the region into deeper turmoil, with massive civilian suffering and global consequences.

Trump advisor admits: War on Iran targets China, seeking ‚US global dominance‘

The war on Iran seeks “US global dominance” and to “weaken China”, said Donald Trump’s former national security advisor, General Michael Flynn. He admitted the US gives Israel intelligence and weapons
The war on Iran aims to weaken China and ensure US global dominance said Donald Trumps former national security advisor Michael Flynn
He admitted that the United States is giving Israel substantial intelligence, weapons, and training, helping it to wage this war.
Flynn, a retired US general, emphasized that the goal of this joint US-Israeli war is regime change: to overthrow Iran’s government.
„A positive US relationship with a [new] Iranian regime, so whatever the regime is that rises up out of the ashes, if we have a positive relationship with that regime, that really benefits the United States of America, particularly against China, and it weakens China“, he argued.
„A victory by Israel establishes the perception, if not the reality, of US global dominance, and certainly Israeli dominance in that region“, Flynn added with pride.
„We’re involved“ in war on Iran, says retired US General Mike Flynn
„We’re involved“, Mike Flynn stressed. „People need to understand that we’ve been in the Middle East my entire life, my entire military career“.
Flynn helped oversee „counter-terrorism“ operations in the US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. During the Barack Obama administration, he served as the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). Trump appointed Flynn as his national security advisor at the beginning of his first term, in 2017.
„We’re involved [in the war on Iran]“, he repeated. „We provide intelligence capabilities, certainly, to Israel… We provide all kinds of weapons systems. We provide all kinds of training support“.
Flynn made these remarks in a 17 June interview with Steven Bannon, who was one of the most important figures in Trump’s first presidential term. Bannon served as Trump’s chief strategist and was CEO of his 2016 presidential campaign.
Bannon was previously chairman of the far-right political website Breitbart. He now hosts the ultra-conservative talk show Bannon’s War Room.
US-backed war on Iran targets China


Steve Bannon is an extreme China hawk. In 2018, the former Trump chief strategist declared, “We’re at war with China”.
In his interview with Mike Flynn, Bannon stressed that China is the main target of the US empire. He demonized the Communist Party of China as a so-called „existential threat“.
„One of the basic philosophies we had, and the reason, quite frankly, you were chosen [as Trump’s national security advisor], given your expertise in this area, was the pivot to Asia“, Bannon said.
This was a reference to the Barack Obama administration’s policy to move US troops and military resources out of West Asia (the so-called Middle East) and to East Asia, to prepare for conflict with China.
„Remember, one of the biggest things was to pivot to Asia“, Bannon reiterated. „Talk about a strategic pivot out of the Middle East, sir, to actually confront the existential threat to the country, the Chinese Communist Party“.
Flynn agreed. „We need to be focused on the principle 21st century adversary, and I’ll call them an adversary, and that’s China“, he said.
„So China, China, China — that’s what I want your audience to understand“, Flynn added.
The retired US general emphasized that, if Washington and Tel Aviv can overthrow Iran’s government, then the US empire can focus all of its resources and energy on containing China in the new cold war.
„We have to allow Israel to finish the job“, Flynn implored. „When it does, as it does, as it is in the midst of finishing this job — and it’s going to take a little bit — it will allow the United States to fully shift to focusing on China“.
Israel is doing the West’s „dirty work“


Mike Flynn argued that Israel is „protecting Western civilization“ in its war on Iran.
„Israel is fighting their war, and we are in fact supporting it. And it’s really protecting Western civilization“, he insisted in his interview with Steve Bannon.
Flynn is a very extreme political figure. He is a Christian nationalist who has proudly declared that US conservatives are waging a „spiritual war“.
This is an idea that is shared by Pete Hegseth, who serves as defense secretary in Donald Trump’s second term.
Hegseth, a former Fox News host, is a fellow Christian nationalist. In 2020, he published a book titled „American Crusade“, in which he wrote that the US right is waging a „holy war“ against China, the international left, and Islam — and in particular the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Although these top figures in the Trump administration have far-right political views, they share many of the policies of the neoliberal centrists in Europe.
Germany’s Chancellor Friedrich Merz has strongly supported the war on Iran, stating with approval that Israel is doing the „dirty work“ of the West.
Donald Trump and other Western leaders have made it clear that their goal in Iran is to violently overthrow the government created by the 1979 Iranian revolution.
In 1953, the CIA sponsored a coup that overthrew Iran’s democratically elected prime minister, Mohammad Mosaddegh, and installed a king, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. This brutal dictator, who was notorious for torturing dissidents, was propped up by the United States for decades, until the 1979 revolution ousted him and established a truly independent government in Tehran.

Trump Is about to Play Stalin’s Card in Iran – Three Maps and One Tweet to Explain

CANADIAN INTERNET PLATFORM
By John Helmer Global Research, June 20, 2025 Dances with Bears 17 June 2025
The plan to attack Iran, force regime change in Teheran, decapitate and disarm Iranian forces, and partition the country into ethnic autonomies is nothing new.  
In August 1941 British and empire forces (Indian, Australian) acted in coordination with Soviet forces to occupy the country, ostensibly to prevent the Shah of Iran from allowing German forces to seize Iranian oilfields and attack the land corridor from the Persian Gulf northwards across the country and into the Soviet Union through which US Lend-Lease aid for the war effort was being transported. At the time, with British air superiority in the south and Soviet air superiority in the north, the regime in Teheran had no choice but to capitulate.
By November 1943, when Joseph Stalin, Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill met together in Teheran (left image below), Stalin already knew the British were aiming to monopolize Iranian oil supplies for themselves, and with the Americans were “creat[ing] a real threat to the interests of our country if we do not take timely countermeasures.”  – Page 71. Stalin’s reaction was first to test Iran’s parliamentary leadership for signing an oil concession agreement. When the Iranians rejected that, Stalin ordered a Red Army-backed secession movement for an independent Azeri statelet based in Tabriz. He abandoned this scheme at the end of March 1946.

Assessing the US / Israel regime change plan for Iran

To assess the chances that the USIsrael will succeed in Iran consider the past decades of USIsrael operations in the region and the factors for success and failure

US naval assets are moving in. US bases within striking distance of Iran are being evacuated. Trump has signaled his willingness to ridicule his biggest supporters and contradict his own intelligence director to do Israel’s bidding. All of this adds up to: it is extremely likely that the US will very soon be attacking Iran on Israel’s behalf. The objective of the war is the removal of the Iranian government and its replacement by either a chaotic, perpetual civil war situation (chaos) or a pliant collaborator regime that will allow Israel to keep genociding with impunity (the main priority of the Western elite is genocide now).
The 1996 Clean Break: A strategy for securing the realm document was written for Netanyahu by a group of American strategists (the realm to be secured was Israel, not America). At that time, their slogan was “anyone can go to Baghdad. Real men go to Tehran.”
