Unprovoked War on Reality TV
"AI" fixed intelligence and the scripted narratives to end the "12 Day War"
Published: 2025-06-26
Hoaxing
In deference to thespians, rather than using terms "theatrical" or "performative", the more apt "fake" or "hoax" will be used to describe the deceptive narratives and behaviour displayed by the Political West (US, UK, Germany, France, EU) and Zionist Israel (PW+ZI) in the planning and execution of their failed, regime change war against Iran.
A war involving the assassination of leading members of a government (military officers) and civilians (scientists) by multiple nations to overthrow the elected government of another nation is an illegal, international, political, terrorist war (IIPT War). The PW+ZI have again declared themselves as an international, political, terrorist collective. Other recent PW+ZI IIPT Wars include those against Syria and Libya.
The analysis presented below is based on the sources published in several articles and the analysis of Alastair Crooke and Brian Berletic. See the references from "US v Iran: The Playbook", including the Brooking Institution's "WHICH PATH TO PERSIA?" and Berletic's "2009 US Policy Paper Planned Current Israeli-Iranian Tensions" for the core of his insight.
Policy Implementation
On Dialogue Works, Crooke informed us that, on top of the “PERSIA” US strategy, Israel had been planning its "shock and awe", surprise IIPT War against Iran since the northern autumn of 2024.
The names of scientists which they assassinated were reportedly obtained from the UN Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) monitoring body, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) under the directorship of Raphael Mariano Grossi. The IAEA had provided to Israel details of Iran's peaceful nuclear program (PNP) which it obtained while monitoring it with Iran's permission with the NPT. Under pressure from the PW+ZI Grossi undermined the legitimacy of the UN body. As a consequence of the PW+ZI failed IIPT War, Iran's parliament has passed a bill releasing Iran's executive branch from needing to further cooperate with the IAEA.
Cooperating with the IAEA provides no protection against IIPT Wars. Instead, it may increase a cooperating nation’s suffering.
In March 2025, the US and Israel agreed to operationalize their IIPT War plan. A hoax of negotiations over Iran's PNP was initiated, according to one of the strategies outlined in PERSIA. The fake negotiations were used to reduce Iran's guard against the planned and agreed IIPT War. This atrocious abuse of international diplomacy is another example to nations outside of the PW+ZI of why they are where they are and why not to ever trust these international gansters.
Two weeks before Israel begun the IIPT, the IAEA released a "Report by the Director General" (Grossi) which:
reiterated “its profound concern that Iran has still not provided necessary, full and unambiguous cooperation with the Agency and has not taken the essential and urgent actions as decided by the Board in its June 2024 resolution
[IAEA]
Appropriately alarming commentary was issued by the usual stenographers.
Fixing the “Intelligence”
The IAEA has been using "AI" software (Mosaic) supplied by Peter Theil's company Palantir. Crooke asserted that the justification for the alarming rhetoric from the IAEA's board was based on outputs constructed by Mosaic from its surveillance sourced dataset. Those outputs ascribed "intent" on Iran's PNP based on Mosaic's "AI" model rather than from verified human statements or observations. To analogize, one can "train" a machine learning algorithm to produce results based upon its training inputs in the same manner in which skilled statisticians and graphic artists can produce data products to support any position from a large dataset.
Trump rejected Tulsi Gabbard restatement to the US legislature of the uniform, official, US analysis that Iran has not chosen to begin a nuclear weapons program. Something changed. Crooke's assertion is an explanation for that change.
In the lead up to the IIPT War against Iraq in 2003, US "intelligence" produced products to support the political motivation for that war. The outputs of Palantir's Mosaic were the new "AI" version of "the intelligence was fixed around the policy" setup.
With the fake news narrative issued by the IAEA based upon the "fixed intelligence", and having caught Iran off guard with the hoax negotiations, the US & Israel attacked Iran.
8 Days of Hubris & Hasbara
The first phase of the IIPT War was successful. Iran's military network was compromised (a "cyber" attack). Some of Iran's exposed air defense systems and deployed missile launch systems were significantly damaged. Many Iranian military officers and scientists were assassinated. Phone calls to scientists were made, explicitly threatening their families. Many family members were murdered in the assassination attacks. A planned meeting of Iranian military officers was targeted to murder many of them.
Israel's methods of attack were predominantly stand-off missile weapons fired from Iraqi airspace or large drones flown from Azerbaijan. These were used to attack military systems or larger targets. Smaller drones launched from concealed positions in Iran, which Israel had smuggled into Iran, were used for other targets. These smaller drone attacks mirrored the recent attacks on Russia's nuclear capable bombers by PW+ZI “intelligence” agencies fronted by Ukraine’s.
Iran responded effectively by replacing military officers and recovering control of its military network within 8 to 10 hours. Iran began its planned True Promise III operation to retaliate against the military and assassination attackes from Israel. The Iranian population rallied around its government and actively supported its hunt for foreign, or foreign funded, insurgents supporting the IIPT War within Iran.
Israel's attacks included "regime change", non-military targets like Iran's national broadcaster. Israel has been murdering journalists in Gaza for 627 days, a tactic within the wider horror of its genocide.
Iran's retaliation targeted military, military-political and military-economic targets. These targets in Israel included military and military intelligence bases, the ministry of defense, cyber-command, and an oil refinery at the port of Haifa.
True Promise III was a refinement of its predecessors. It involved both flood attacks to overwhelm Israel's (US provided) defenses and Iranian hypersonic missiles. As the effect of Iran's retaliation increased, people began to flee Israel. Israel's government banned unapproved departure for Israeli citizens. Wealthy Israelis hired yachts and sailed away.
By day 8, Israel had had enough.
Exit, Stage Left
Crooke suggested that the active part of the political leadership of the PW+ZI had hoped for a repeat of their toppling of the Syrian government under al Assad. They rolled the dice on a poor comparison. Iran is not Syria.
The US exit strategy was partially based on previous, scripted, low damage, no loss of life, "once and done", military attacks designed to produce a media narrative. An example under US President Trump's first term during the Syrian Dirty War was an attack on a Syrian Arab Army airfield. The US informed Russia ahead of the operation such that it could inform Syria to secure valuable property and evacuate personnel. Another was demonstrated by Iran in its response to the US assassinations of IRGC General Soleimani and Iraqi PMU Commander Muhandis in 2020 outside Baghdad International Airport. Iran then informed the US some hours ahead of time which US base in the region it would attack.
The other part of Trump's exit strategy was pocketing (to use Chas Freeman's term) Iran's declaration that it would cease its retaliation when Israel ceased attacking.
The playbook began with Trump's non-"obliteration" of three sites of Iran's PNP. Doubt remains whether the US used any B-2 bombers. Some surface damage was done using US Tomahawk missiles, likely fired from submarines in the Persian Gulf. The US had warned Iran of the locations and timing of its planned attacks to facilitate Iran's removal of valuable property and personnel. Iran responded symmetrically with a pre-warned, scripted attack on the US military base at Al Udeid, Qatar.
Trump trumpeted his "ceasefire" based on his pocketing of Iran's preference to not have a regional war and the scripted, military “diplomacy”. So ended the "12 Day War", a conspiracy by the US and Israel to foment the installation of a compliant regime in Iran.
It required the subversion of the IAEA and another declaration to the world that the UN Charter means nothing to the US, nor Israel. The program to coopt or destroy Iran is not over.
Lessons Learned
Moon of Alabama helpfully republished Patrick Armstrong's "what have we learned?"
Iran is a lot more powerful than many people thought.
Western air defence systems aren’t very effective.
Who knew those little Iranian lawnmower-engined dorito drones could get all the way to Israel?
Hypersonic missiles are invulnerable and very frightening.
Tehran now knows which missiles in its arsenal are most effective and which most effectively soak up the enemy’s air defence and will build accordingly
Tehran’s decision to follow the missile-based armament route is vindicated. Suvorov: “Fight the enemy with the weapons he lacks”; Sun Tsu: “avoid strength and strike weakness”. Others will notice.
Israel has used up the sleeper cells and intelligence penetration that it had built up in Iran.
To the above could be added that the US IIPT War against Vietnam resulted in approximately 3 million Vietnamese casualties. The difference for the US-Israel v Iran War, apart from the scale of human suffering, is that although pushed to the margins of publications in English, our understanding of the hoaxes and fake narratives used to justify these conspiracies of war has increased.
It did not take years for Palantir's "AI" Mosaic to be exposed as today's Gulf of Tonkin false flag.
