TRUMP'S TEAM NEVER UNDERSTOOD THE MIDDLE EAST – w/ Fmr. U.S. Navy Malcolm Nance

What was said

"I think they will kill him at the first opportunity. No questions asked. Yeah, but it's not Israel's deal. It's Trump's deal. The big brother would not authorize it. I can only listen to the words of Katz, Ben-Gvir, Netanyahu, and Smotrich. These guys are hardcore. And they have made it eminently clear, something I have taught all of you very early on this show. Netanyahu said it yesterday, the very words that I use. Israel looks out for number one."

Former intelligence officer Malcolm Nance predicts Israel will assassinate Iran's next Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei at the first opportunity, despite a recent US-Iran memorandum of understanding. Nance argues that while Trump brokered a deal to end US-Iran hostilities, Israeli leadership including Netanyahu, Katz, Ben-Gvir and Smotrich operate independently of American interests and would strike even if it reignites full-scale war. He suggests Iran might retaliate by closing the Strait of Hormuz or attacking US military bases rather than Israeli targets.
