🇺🇸🇮🇷🇮🇱 A former Reagan Treasury official says Trump has now publicly acknowledged US and Israeli intelligence on Iran don’t match, after Reuters reported he struck in February despite his own spies’ doubts... and he reads that as a president having second thoughts
A clear majority of Americans oppose this war, the midterm swing almost always punishes the party in the White House, and Paul Craig Roberts says you never see a MAGA hat anymore.
Paul, who served as assistant Treasury secretary under Reagan, says a leader about to bomb doesn’t undercut his own case:
“I see some hesitation that I didn’t see in the first attack on Iran.”
Paul says he doesn’t know for certain, but thinks the Saudis asked Trump for help against the Houthis, were told there’s nothing to spare, and that’s why the Mecca Alliance states, Pakistan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia, asked for today’s meeting in Tehran.
If a deal with Iran comes out of it, he says it would be a unified Muslim world for the first time since Saladin and the end of the US presence in the region.
He gives Democrats better than 50/50 odds of taking both chambers and says they’d rather fight Trump at home than Iran abroad, though a post-midterm strike stays possible and Israel’s vote tomorrow shapes it.
