For weeks, Israel had been quietly laying the groundwork for a military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

The date was set. The target was clear. All they needed was a green light from Washington. But President Trump and many of his key advisers were not quite ready to sign off on something so rash that could trigger World War III.

According to The New York Times, it was Trump who personally shot down the idea of joining Israel in a joint strike on Iran. And that decision has thrown the war machine into absolute chaos.

The neocons are melting down. And inside Trump’s own orbit, the backstabbing knives are out—staffers are being fired, backroom battles are escalating, and staffers are being pushed out over supposed “leaks”—or is that just a pretext to purge the Jacksonian, America First continent of the administration?

What’s really going on here?

Occam’s razor would tell us that the globalist foreign policy blob expected business as usual. They didn’t get it, and they’re pissed.

Thankfully, Trump’s America First instincts kicked in—again. He wants peace, not another endless war in the Middle East. But the war crowd isn’t backing down easily or quietly.

From Lindsey Graham to Mike Pompeo, the usual suspects are doing everything they can to pull us back into the same failed playbook that gave us Iraq and Afghanistan.

While the media focused on bombs and battle plans, something else was happening—quiet, serious diplomacy.

President Trump greenlit direct talks with Iran. No middlemen. No Israel. Just us and them, face-to-face. And guess what? It’s actually going somewhere.

Independent:

Progressives and other opponents of military conflict with Iran scored a surprise victory last week when President Donald Trump announced imminent negotiations with Tehran.

Talks took place over the weekend in Oman as US negotiators, under Trump’s direction, seek a new arrangement aimed at constraining Iran’s nuclear program. A second round was confirmed to be set for this Saturday in Rome, signaling that the negotiations are proceeding smoothly (so far), though two principals, US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi, issued terse conflicting statements on social media.

“Iran must stop and eliminate its nuclear enrichment and weaponization program,” Witkoff tweeted. Araghchi responded that a full dismantling of enrichment capabilities was off the table. But signs of an agreement taking shape were apparent.

And then came the real shocker—the one that sent the neocons into full-blown panic mode. The Independent piece goes on:

Then, on Wednesday, a new bombshell from The New York Times: Trump had personally waved off the prospect of U.S. support for an Israeli-developed plan to strike Iranian nuclear facilities as soon as next month.

“I think that Iran has a chance to have a great country and to live happily without death,” said Trump on Thursday, speaking to reporters at the White House.

This shift in posture is not going over well in the hawkish corners of Washington’s foreign policy sphere.

MAGA is saying enough is enough.

This blog will walk you through the key moments that are unfolding behind the scenes—what Trump shut down, who’s furious about it, and why Israel’s influence over US foreign policy is facing its first real challenge in years. It all blew up after this NYT article.

We’ll kick things off with Steve Bannon, who didn’t mince words after the NYT bombshell. He’s calling it like it is:

Lawfare warrior Douglass Mackey also chimed in about the bombshell article. His takeaway? A small group of America First voices—Tulsi Gabbard, Pete Hegseth, JD Vance, and Susie Wiles—stepped in to stop a joint Israel-US strike on Iran. Now the backlash has begun. Three of Hegseth’s aides have already been fired, and the internal knife-fighting is heating up.

Here’s a close-up of the exact blip from the New York Times article Doug was referring to:

Steve Bannon wasn’t done. He warned that a war with Iran wouldn’t be some quick strike—it would be another endless quagmire. This isn’t Iraq or Afghanistan, he said. It’s an ancient, battle-hardened civilization, and if we go in, we’ll be stuck there for decades—with our sons and daughters paying the price.

Watch:

Bannon kept going, calling out the neocons for losing it over Trump’s decision. He pointed straight at Bibi, who he said tried to bulldoze his way back into the picture after Trump dropped Gaza. But Trump didn’t budge. Instead, he moved ahead with direct talks with Iran—just the US and Iran, no third party, exactly what Israel’s been trying to block.

Grace Chong:

Bannon: Neocons went absolutely nuts today.

Read the NYT article. I haven’t seen any counter to that.

It’s the arrogance of Bibi forcing his way here twice. Trump dropped Gaza and Bibi came back trying to force the issue. Trump said we’re actually in negotiations starting Saturday with Iran, just the two of us, no third party, which the Israelis have been adamant cannot happen.

And just in case anyone forgot who actually pays the price for these forever wars, Bannon drove the point home.

He called out the elites—reminding everyone it won’t be their kids flying into combat. It’ll be yours. Working-class sons and daughters will be the ones on the front lines, in the carrier groups, doing the bombing runs if this escalates.

Grace Chong:

“How many [wealthy kids] are on the front line? How many of their kids are in that carrier battle group?” Steve Bannon asked, referring to American aristocrats.

“Your sons and daughters are going to be in those carrier battle groups. Your sons and daughters are going to be in the first wave,” he cautioned on his War Room podcast on Thursday. “Your sons and daughters will be doing the bombing runs if that has to happen.”

Here’s a close-up of the quotes:

And finally, Human Events editor Jack Posobiec appeared with Steve Bannon to dig into what might really be going on behind the scenes.

His take? These sudden firings and purges—like the ones hitting Hegseth’s team—aren’t about leaks. They’re about policy. Patriots are being frogmarched out of their jobs because they dared to push back on the war machine.

Watch:

Clearly, this moment is bigger than just one article or a foreign policy battle. It’s about finally breaking this “war machine” cycle. For decades, America has been dragged into war after war—bleeding lives and money for conflicts that have nothing to do with defending our own country.

Trump said no. And that matters.

Because this time, the people pushing for war got told to stand down. And for once, it wasn’t the “tail wagging the dog”—this time around it was the America First movement reminding the world that we don’t serve foreign interests. We don’t fight other people’s wars. And we don’t send our sons and daughters to die for someone else’s agenda.

That era is over.
