| Clarice Feldman: Peering Through the Fog of War |
| 2025-06-15 |
| By Clarice Feldman [AmericanThinker] In wartime it’s particularly difficult to ascertain what’s happening. Governments have a natural and healthy instinct to hide from public eyes what is going on, even those fully democratic ones which in peace have some constraints on official censorship. Nevertheless, the fact that so many people around the world have video-capable mobile phones and access to the internet makes it harder to hide what is happening. All week long I’ve been looking at these videos, reading official IDF reports and statements by leaders of involved countries and they show that Stacey McCain and Lee Smith, whose takes I link to below, are in full accord with what I’ve seen. The Israelis pulled off the most astonishing, most brilliant offensive in modern military history; the President orchestrated a genius misdirection allowing the Israelis to cap off 20 years preparation for this attack; Iran’s regime is on its back feet from which it will not recover; Israel has saved the world with the assistance of a number of Arab countries and the U.S.; Britain under Keir Starmer has earned the disregard of the western world and was prudently left entirely out of advance knowledge of the attacks. Obama and Biden’s loony foreign policy gave the mullahs an almost two-decade opportunity to build their nuclear capacity which Israel, with Trump’s assistance, has destroyed. Finally, the war will continue for about a week or two, but I, at least, have no doubt about the outcome -- the end of the Mullahcracy. Misdirection Ido Hilbany wrote of the brilliant misdirection campaign Trump orchestrated with Netanyahu which allowed Israel to get into position if, as was certain, the mullahs would dither in negotiations to end their nuclear enrichment program.

| #2 Feel good story of the day. But if anybody criticizes Trump for misleading the Iranians, they should be reminded that we have been at war with Iran since 1979 so it's all fair. Of course, the same is true if Trump decides to let the US Air Force join the bombing campaign...er, that is, if there is anything left to bomb. |

| #1 I guess Trump did negotiate a nuclear deal with Iran, in a manner of speaking. |
