An American Peace in The Middle East

Trump Nominated by Pakistan For Nobel as Iran/Israel Ceasefire Holds

- Plus the WARRIOR CREED Podcast

1) An American Peace

Good day humans. Congratulations on the peace.

It will take many people most of the week to process that Trump did exactly as we have been saying he would for years, by cancelling WWIII and brokering peace between Israel and Iran this week.

Time Magazine reports 24th June 2025:

This is just the beginning. As we have been reporting here at Radical Media for a while now, a grand regional settlement for peace is coming.

Radical Media reports 15th May 2025:

Many people this week will go through the stages of grief about being totally wrong. They will hate the fact that everything they say they wanted for the region is being delivered by Trump - a man they hate, and was all forecasted years in advance by us - who they also hate. It will take a while for them to realise that their real problem was always their own hate. Many never will realise it.

Pakistan was right to nominate Trump for the Nobel peace prize, Trump will get it and deserves it.

Here is their reasoning.

2) Peace was the trap all along

Just as the Iran/Israel war began, in last week’s Radical Dispatch, we explained how Netanyahu sought to circumvent the coming peace using war.

Radical Media reports 18th June 2025:

Netanyahu attacked Iran, and then proceeded to brief corporate press about how Trump fully backed him. Corporate media ran with it. In doing so, they sought to erode trust between Trump and Iran over ongoing denuclearisation talks, split the domestic MAGA base, and nudge Trump into joining Netanyahu’s war.

But as the war dragged on, Trump did not join it on Israel’s side. Just as we forecasted last week, the trap was sprung on Netanyahu instead.

Radical Media reports 18th June 2025:

When Trump did eventually get involved, it was instead to deescalate the conflict via a series of very carefully planned and precise bilateral interventions, agreed in advance between America and Iran.

This is because, again as we reported last week, that whereas Trump’s aim in this conflict was Iranian denuclearisation, Netanyahu’s aim was all out war and regime change.

Trump was to achieve his aim. Netanyahu was not.

Click to play:

Journalist: “Have you seen the Tucker Carlson, Senator Ted Cruz interview? It seems like this issue on whether or not the United States should strike is kind of dividing a lot of your supporters.”

President Trump: “No, my supporters are for me. My supporters are America first. They make America great again. My supporters don't want to see Iran have a nuclear weapon. Tucker's a nice guy. He called and apologised the other day because he thought he said things that were a little bit too strong. And I appreciated that. And Ted Cruz is a nice guy. I mean, he's been with me for a long time. I'd say once the race was over, he's been with me ever since, right? But very simple. If they think that it's okay for Iran to have a nuclear weapon, then they should oppose me. But nobody thinks it's okay. People that don't want to fight either. I'm not looking to fight. But if it's a choice between fighting and them having a nuclear weapon, you have to do what you have to do. Maybe we won't have to fight. Don't forget, we haven't been fighting. At all, Israel's done a very good job of that. But we'll see what happens. The bottom line is they can't have nuclear. And if Ted, I can't imagine that Ted Cruz said it's okay for Iran to have nuclear, including Tucker. I don't think Tucker says it's okay. The problem is then they get themselves into a thing. They don't want them to have nuclear, but then they say, well, we don't want to fight. Well, you're going to have to make a choice because it's possible that you're going to have to fight for them not to have nuclear. And it's interesting because I did ask Tucker. I said, well, are you okay with nuclear weapons being in the hands of Iran? And he sort of didn't like that. He didn't want to really talk. But he sort of didn't like that. And I said, well, if it's okay with you, then you and I do have a difference. But it's really not okay with him. Therefore, you may have to fight. And maybe it'll end. And maybe it'll end very quickly. But there's no way that you can allow, whether you have to fight or not, you can allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon because the entire world will blow up. I'm not going to let that happen.”

With US and Israeli aims clearly diverging, look back again to what we reported last week that Trump said on the 28th May, before this Iran/Israel war began.

Click to play:

Journalist: “Did you warn Prime Minister Netanyahu against taking some sort of actions that could disrupt the talks there in a phone call last week?”

President Trump: “Well, I'd like to be honest. Yes, I did. Next question, please. I did. Senate Republicans want to push... It's not a warning. I said, I don't think it's appropriate.”

Journalist: “What exactly did you tell him?”

President Trump: “I just said, I don't think it's appropriate. We're having very good discussions with him. And I said, I don't think it's appropriate right now. Because if we can settle it with a very strong document, very strong, with inspections and no trust. I don't trust anybody. I don't trust anybody. So no trust. I want it very strong where we can go in with inspectors. We can take whatever we want. We can blow up whatever we want, but nobody getting killed. We can blow up a lab, but nobody's going to be in the lab as opposed to everybody being in the lab and blowing it up, right? Two ways of doing it. Yeah, I told him this would be inappropriate to do right now because we're very close to a solution. Now, that could change at any moment. Could change with a phone call. But right now, I think they want to make a deal. And if we can make a deal, save a lot of lives.”

In the end, Trump entered the negotiation his way, with no civilian deaths, in contrast to the Israeli way, as if to say pick who you want to talk to and let’s make a deal.

By striking at Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility, Trump removed Netanyahu’s pretext for war by ensuring that Iran would not be able to develop further its nuclear weapons programme.

Netanyahu’s reason for going to war had just been rug-pulled. Israel would now have to either return to the negotiating table, or continue fighting and thereby expose the fact that Netanyahu had been after regime change all along.

Trump’s rug-pull of Netanyahu was done with Iranian cooperation. In what seems to have been a pre-agreed target and mode of attack, Trump entered the war to strike at Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility but left no casualties, and what appears only to be surface area damage.

It is almost certain that the Iranians had been pre-warned by the US.

It is as if Trump’s 28th May message was in fact a diplomatic communication to the Iranians: “We can blow up whatever we want, but nobody getting killed. We can blow up a lab, but nobody's going to be in the lab as opposed to everybody being in the lab and blowing it up, right? Two ways of doing it.”

And certain Iranian factions confirmed that they already knew in advance.

So confident were we that Trump was, in fact entering the war in order to wind it down, not escalate it, that we were accurately able to forecast how the rest of the war would play out, much to the disbelief and mockery of almost all other commentators.

When the Iranians did eventually respond to the US attack on Fordow, they repaid the courtesy afforded them by Trump by providing pre-warning.

Trump eventually confirmed the fact of this pre-warning himself.

After Iran’s pre-arranged reciprocal attack on a US base in Qatar also occurred without any civilian casualties, Netanyahu saw the writing on the wall and a ceasefire soon became possible.

This is how Trump’s precision attack on Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility left no casualties.

It was in fact a negotiation tactic, the culmination of many months long negotiations between the US and Iran that had started, and were already evident, when the Iranians and Russians voluntarily withdrew from Syria.

Radical Media reports 11th December 2024:

This explains why not only did Iranian troops withdraw from Syria without so much as a fight:

The Telegraph reports 7th December 2024:

But also why Russia’s armed forces did the same, from Syria as well as from the Crimea in Ukraine:

Newsweek reports 4th December 2024:

Newsweek reports 4th December 2024:

“Russia is moving vessels from its naval base in Syria amid the escalating insurgency against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, it has been reported, after Moscow is said to have shifted much of its Black Sea Fleet from its hub in Crimea earlier this year. The Syrian port of Tartus has been a key hub for Russian vessels for more than five decades and has grown in importance since the start of Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, giving Moscow a Mediterranean presence and bulwark against NATO.”

In fact, even Assad’s own Syrian Arab Army (SAA) retreated from most major Syrian cities without putting up any resistance:

To disentangle militaries that are in-theatre from kinetic war takes precise, incremental and telegraphed steps. The events we just witness between the US and Iran are the end stages of these months of negotiations.

Radical Media reports 16th April 2025:

Understanding this context helps to maintain calm while others may be losing their heads worried that we are about to provoke World War III.

3) Trump lashes out at Israel after ceasefire

Once the ceasefire was in place, there was some concern about whether it would be adhered to as neither country stopped sending missiles over to the other.

Corporate media decided that Israel’s narrative was the one they would run with, by reporting that Iran had broken the ceasefire.

But knowing that this moment had been months in the making, it became easy to reassure our readers that the ceasefire would indeed hold.

Our reading had been that Trump had only entered the fray as a broker for peace. Again, it was no surprise to us then that when Trump did eventually speak to berate both parties for not stopping the war, he did so in a fair way by placing responsibility on both sides where deserved.

But when speaking, Trump’s words were also weighted in a way to apportion proportionate blame on the side that was in greater violation of the ceasefire: Israel.

Confirming that he had no interest in the spat except to protect the peace, Trump shocked the world by publicly berating Israel in a manner that had not been seen previously from many US presidents.

Click to play:

Journalist: “Is the ceasefire breaking?”

Trump: “…I don’t think so, but I’m not happy that Israel’s going out now. There was one rocket that I guess was fired overboard, it was after the time limit and it missed its target. And now Israel’s going out, these guys gotta calm down, ridiculous… I didn’t like plenty of things I saw yesterday. I didn’t like the fact that Israel unloaded right after we made the deal. They didn’t have to unload. And I didn't like the fact that the retaliation was very strong. But in all fairness, Israel unloaded a lot. And now I hear Israel just went out because they felt it was violated by one rocket that didn't land anywhere. That's not what we want, I'll tell you. And I'm telling you, I'm not happy about that Israel either. All I do is play both sides.”

This entire series of events as explained above led to many pundits expressing open confusion at how their entire world view of Trump may indeed be wrong.

This is because Trump left no room for doubt that Israel would not be given a free pass.

Click to play:

Journalist: “Israel says that Iran violated the…ceasefire agreement. Do you believe that Iran isre still committed to peace?”

President Trump: “Yeah I do, they’ve violated but Israel violated it too. …Israel, as soon as we made the deal they came out & they dropped a load of bombs the likes of which I’ve never seen before, the biggest load that we’ve seen. I’m not happy with Israel. Ya know, when I say ok now you have 12 hours, you don’t just go out in the first hour and just drop everything you have on them. So I’m not happy with them, I’m not happy with Iran either. But I’m really unhappy with Israel’s going out this morning, because of one rocket, that didn’t land, that was shot, perhaps by mistake that didn’t land. I’m not happy about that…you know we basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they DON’T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK THEY’RE DOING. Do you understand that?”

President Trump then posted on his Truth platform, issuing what appears to have been a direct order to Israel to pull back their fighter jets immediately, in all capitals.

As soon as this order was issued, Israel put out the order to their jets to deescalate.

Haaretz reports 26th June 2025:

And as if the divergent aims between Netanyahu’s desire for regime change in Iran, and Trump’s to restart peace negotiations with a denuclearised Iran couldn’t be clearer, Trump again left no room for doubt.

Click to play:

Journalist: “Do you want to see regime change in Iran?”

President Trump: “If there was, there was, but no, I don't want it. I'd like to see everything calm down as quickly as possible. Regime change takes chaos, and ideally, we don't want to see so much chaos, so we'll see how it does. You know, the Iranians are very good traders, very good business people, and they got a lot of oil. They should be fine. They should be able to rebuild and do a good job. They're never going to have nuclear, but other than that, they should do a great job.”

Israel had clearly been given notice. America was no longer playing. Trump showed who was in charge. This is Peace through Strength.

4) A Grand Regional Settlement for Peace is Coming

As we stated as soon as this war began, Netanyahu’s aim was to circumvent the peace by starting a war with Iran in order to goad the US into joining it on their side. It was an ambush by Netanyahu, done so while the US was in active peace talks with Iran. But it did not work.

Radical Media reports 18th June 2025:

In doing this, Netanyahu had form. He had already facilitated the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7th, which occurred just prior to Saudi Arabia singing up to the Abraham Accords. Netanyahu’s ensuing war in Gaza meant that joining any peace accords with Israel was no longer politically possible for Saudi Arabia, and they withdrew.

But Netanyahu’s plan is failing, and it will fail. He was, instead, entrapped into peace with Iran.

The solution was always to broaden who sits on the table and address the ‘regional riddle’. This author stated as much back in 2021, long before the October 7th attacks scuppered the brief hope…
