The SHOCKING REAL Reason Israel Killed Iranian Security Head Ali Larjiani! w/ Max Blumenthal (Jimmy Dore)

Israel has assassinated Ali Larijani, Iran's top national security official and key diplomatic bridge, a move deliberately designed to prevent Trump from finding an off-ramp to end the war, according to many analysts.

The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal explains that Larijani—a philosopher and dealmaker respected even by Westerners—was killed by Israel specifically because he was the figure Trump could have negotiated with to de-escalate, and Israel's greatest fear is the U.S. ending this war before Iran is destroyed.

Jimmy and Max contrast Iran's leaders, who frame everything through international law and diplomacy, with Israeli and U.S. officials like Lindsey Graham and Netanyahu who openly speak in terms of religious warfare and biblical prophecy. The segment concludes that Trump now commands a thinner but more cult-like base while being controlled by pro-Israel billionaires, making him more dangerous than any conventional neocon.



Good interview with Blumenthal on the Jimmy Dore show about a prolonged conflict.
