Why the American-Iranian War? (2)

Between the Objective and the Subjective... and Trump s Responsibility in the War.
The
previous article presented the element of energy and control over its pathways and switches as one of the main causes of conflict and war, and that their objective causes were already accumulating and accumulating until they were complete, heralding the outbreak of war. The dry branches and leaves that pile up in the vast forest day after day, and year after year, were nothing but waiting for an accidental spark to ignite the great fire, and Trump was nothing but that spark. American interests, for unyielding objective reasons (as we mentioned earlier), called for escalating the conflict to its peak. Therefore, the dispute between him and some senior American politicians, in my opinion, was not about the reality of the conflict, its causes,´-or-its escalation, but rather a dispute about its timing and method.
And it does not change anything that these politicians feign ignorance about the nature of the war and its causes!´-or-they might accuse him of the folly of starting a war without cause. In reality, the folly in their view is not in starting a war, but in starting it without a moral preamble, sufficient guarantees, and coordination with allies, as in the story of the "liberation of Kuwait" war. After they lured their adversary into the reprehensible act, they succeeded not only in creating global polarization against him, but also in inciting his neighbors and using them in their war against him as well. However, Trump could not follow their path´-or-adhere to their tradition, but rather he was eager for war like an infant for its mother s breast, as he was not content with their companion. He takes his time and deliberates to clothe the bare, protruding bones with flesh, and the graying face with the powders of hypocrisy, for reasons related to his narcissism and his crisis, and which go back to "his person and self," before anything else:
Trump, as is well known, is enslaved by his exhibitionist tendencies and his narcissism that has possessed all his senses to the point of extremism. Then he is obsessed with greatness to the point of worship, and he has always been hungry and dependent like a child on the Nobel Peace Prize! The truth is that Trump smacks his lips like an old cat and desires with an insatiable lust to write his name in history. Then he realizes that age is no longer on his side, so he no longer cares whether his name is written in letters of light´-or-in black soot...:
Trump wants to be recorded in history as the president who ended the Iranian nuclear threat, and eliminated the "bogeyman" radically and militarily, after diplomatic solutions failed (such as the nuclear agreement from which he withdrew!). Trump seeks to resolve issues that have baffled previous presidents, aiming to solidify his political legacy as the most powerful American president,´-or-even the most powerful man in the world. On the other hand, he doesn t mind being labeled the leader of the world s biggest gang-;- the color of the cat doesn t matter to him, as long as it catches history!
Trump explicitly called on the Iranian people to seize their government, indicating his desire to achieve a "strategic victory" by overthrowing a regime that has been hostile to America since 1979, which he considers an "absolute presidential achievement."
With his electoral base dwindling, he has resorted to projecting strength and gaining the cheers of the masses and his chauvinistic and right-wing supporters, portraying himself as the only one with a response to what he calls "47 years of Iranian aggression." This approach reinforces his self-portrayal as someone who doesn t tolerate aggression, unlike his weak Democratic opponents.
There is no doubt that Israeli pressure, led by Netanyahu and Republican donors, was influential in pushing for war. However, Trump would not have yielded to it were it not for the fact that it fueled his grandiose ambitions and narcissism, and guaranteed him strong financial and political support.
The launch of "Epic West" coincided with immense pressure Trump faced due to the Jeffrey Epstein affair. In March 2026, the Department of Justice released FBI interview tran-script-s containing -dir-ect accusations against Trump of abusing underage girls in the 1980s.
It appears as though Trump used "real war bombs" as smokescreens to distract the media and public from the ethical and legal scandal that threatened the stability of his presidency.
As Trump plunges into war, he reinforces his image as a leader in times of crisis, making any accountability´-or-even criticism of him on personal matters seem like an attack on national security,´-or-something close to it, in the eyes of his supporters. Discussing these issues becomes trivial compared to what the great emperor Trump is accomplishing.
And finally: Most of history s great figures are criminals!
