Trump's Pentagon purge is 'more sinister' than we realise | Jim Townsend
"The very idea that we can have a conversation like this and even kick around the idea that it might be true shows how different things are now and shows that there are splits in this uh so-called coalition between the US and Israel."
According to a New York Times report discussed in the interview, US officials secretly warned Iran that Israel might assassinate its top negotiators during ceasefire talks months ago, with one Iranian official making an emergency landing after intelligence suggested Israeli jets could target his plane. Townsend noted that while he cannot verify the report's accuracy, the fact that such a scenario is plausible reveals significant fractures in the US-Israel relationship on Iran policy.
