US-Israeli War on Iran: Trump Losing Plot? Things Turning More Precarious?

[Sukla Sen]

<https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-03-20/trump-says-he-doesn-t-want-ceasefire-in-iran-conflict>

Trump is obviously in a mess -- grappling with a completely unanticipated pushback from the Iranian Mullahcracy.

He thought that banditry is the best policy as long as he is by far the strongest one around.

He thought that Iran would crumble as easily (or at least nearly as easily) as Venezuela did. Or for that matter, Saddam Hussein in the past. (But, even Saddam required boots on the ground.) He completely ignored Vietnam or even far more recent Afghanistan. In fact Afghanistan humiliated both the USSR and the US.

So, he's just at a loss. At a loss not only about what to do but also what to say. At a loss for the optics. 

Everyday he's claiming that the war is already won. All at the same time announcing that he won't go for a ceasefire. (In fact, the Iranian regime is also categorically rejecting any temporary ceasefire sans a credible guarantee for non-aggression in future.)

Now, he is issuing ultimatum to Iran. All at the same time, declaring Iran is dead!

If the war is already won, then the war obviously must end! What's the big deal???

On top of all these, bluffing for him is a strategy. 

He claims, and perhaps also sees, himself to be a great "deal-maker". Bluffing is for him a very crucial element to obtain a good "deal" -- by keeping his friends and foes utterly confused.

But, to be effective, he has to actually execute at least a few of his "bluffs". 

So, you never know.

Here is his latest(?). 

He is threatening to wipe out Iran's power infrastructure -- if...: <https://x.com/i/status/2035516932498030879> (and <https://apnews.com/article/iran-us-israel-trump-lebanon-march-21-2026-260bac76e5554ff31aaf5a3a30c92a2e>).

(In this context, also relevant: 

"Iranian strikes on bases used by US caused $800m in damage, analysis shows": <https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cddq7j48p35o>.)

As an aside, while a global economic downturn or recession is very much on the cards (ref.: <https://www.facebook.com/share/p/179teL3jsC/>), a nuclear armageddon is not. At least right now. The UN Security Council, just the other day, passed an egregious resolution against Iran -- without any whatever mention of the US and Israel -- 13 - 0! Russia and China meekly abstaining, and not vetoing: <https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/un-security-council-condemns-iran-attacks-gulf-fails-mention-us-and-israel>!

Peace Is Doable

[Mariamma Thankachan]

TRUMP is winning in every aspect of this WAR in according to the PLAN and DESIGN of the God of the Bible

or the God of the Universe......Pls.read EZEKIEL 38 and 39......and many other places in the Holy Bible which

is the GREATEST and TRUEST University established on this Planet earth......Every WORD in the Bible is

TRUTH and Accurate......We have to study this book SYSTEMATICALLY (with Investigative journalistic style

of  INDUCTIVE Bible study...which I studied more than NINE Times......Still studying and teaching the people

of 247 Nations  with a number of 3 Billion and Plus.....Because I respect and love all human beings created

in the IMAGE (personality) of JESUS CHRIST,the ALMIGHTY,All Powerful and ALL KNOWING GOD....I DO NOT

want anybody to go to HELL.......I am heaven bound from Childhood onwards because I received JESUS as

my Personal Savior,Lord and God,the ONLY GOD (not any man-made God).

Certain Wars are God ordained and Divine.....I studied in theology more than 3500 years of PERSIAN History.

Iranians need SALVATION too.....Their good natured people are longing for Freedom and to join with civilized

nations.........Why satan is attacking ISRAEL and AMERICA ? Because JESUS is going to come back LITERALLY

and Physically  as a CONQUERING MONARCH to RULE the World from JERUSALEM  after the RAPTURE of

the HOLY LIVING Christians,111rd W/War and the battle of ARMAGEDDON........You all read my article titled

"111rd World War and 11nd Coming of Jesus Christ"......Read the whole Bible and learn it......We all can avoid

the TRIBULATION  or the WRATH of God and escape to HEAVEN without even physically Dying (Rapture)

Ok my Friends.........Are you ready for the Lord ?          Are your Loved Ones are ready?.....Few more vacancies

are there in Heaven/New Jerusalem!

Peace......Shalom!

In Christ's Love,

Prince T.
