Digest #15 - Iran responds to Zionist attacks, US bombs Iran and Trump dines with Munir
In the past week Iran has attacked the Zionists, America has hit Iranian nuclear sites and Trump has dined Pakistan's head the army Asim Munir.
For the second week in a row the digest has been delayed by a late night bombing of Iran. Last week it was the Zionist’s attack on Iran and this week maybe feeling a little left out the US attacked Iran’s nuclear sites.
I really need to get a Pete Hegseth to add me to his Telegram group to stop this happening again.
Iran responds to Zionist attacks
The story: At the time of writing the last digest it was unclear how Iran would respond to the Zionists attacking Tehran and killing a number of scientists and military leaders.
It’s clear that Israel wanted to hit Iran’s nuclear programme but they weren’t be able to do this without American ‘Bunker Buster’ bombs.
Iran has since retaliated by attacking the occupied lands in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa amongst other places.
Indications were that Israel’s end goal in Iran was regime change or at the very least to weaken the hardline element in the Iranian regime.
The son of the Shah Iran, Reza Shah Pahlavi came out calling for regime change and indicating he was ready to take power. He still considers himself the Crown Prince of Iran.
The idea of regime change was given more credence by rumours that the Zionists with the help of the Americans would attempt to assassinate the leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
To put an end to all the rumours Donald Trump took to social media to assure the world that the wouldn’t ‘take out’ Khamenei. Only until he felt like it.
Why this is important: Iran was always going to respond to the Zionists bombs, how was what the world was waiting to see. In the last week Iran has shown the weakness of the iron dome, with Iranian hypersonic missiles making it through time after time. This may not be the same level of damage Iran is suffering but it is enough for Israel to be concerned.
Political Alchemy view: For all the wars the west has fought, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iraq again, & Libya the only conscience for their actions was the loss of military personnel and the occasional terror attack on home soil. They haven’t had to suffer the sounds, the fear, the danger and the chaos of missiles attacks on their own lands.
The Zionists who love to be the golden child of the west have now had to suffer this. The sight of the iron dome being overwhelmed by Iranian ballistic missiles before seeing a hypersonic missile ripping through the night sky and hitting its target is poetic. For once the aggressor is getting a taste of its own medicine.
The split within Zionist society was laid bare with foreign Jews being locked out of air raid shelters, the Arabs living in Israel having no shelters at all and the Zionists deliberately shooting down Iranian missiles over Palestinian villages.
Those who had emigrated to the promised land were seen fleeing the bombing via boat. To help in the create a human shield of Zionists, the Israelis moved their commercial fleet to Cyprus. This along with a media blackout on reporting the bombing meant the Zionsts were following the dictators playbook on how to create a psychotic blood thirsty society and then struggle to maintain order when they all want to flee the nightmare.
America ‘bunker busts’ Iran’s nuclear sites
The story: Just last Thursday Donald Trump was attempting to give diplomacy a chance by saying he he would give Iran more time to negotiate:
“Based on the fact that there’s a substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran in the near future, I will make my decision whether or not to go within the next two weeks,”
But last night the Americans hit Iran’s nuclear facilities at Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan.
The US says it fired 30 submarine-launched missiles at the sites in Natanz and Isfahan, as well as dropping more than a dozen “bunker buster” bombs at Fordow and Natanz.
The kind of bomb in question is the extremely destructive GBU-57 Massive Ordance Penetrator, or MOP, which weighs around 13.5 tonnes.

Why this is important: America attacking Iran could have far reaching consequences for the region and the world. What Iran does next is important, it a has a number of choices from hitting US based in the region to closing the Straights of Hormuz.
Political Alchemy view: Having reassured his electorate when he came to power that his mission was to put a stop to the endless wars the US had fought overseas, Donald Trump has now gone back on this promise. Something Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi reminded him of.
“He has betrayed not only Iran by abusing our commitment to diplomacy, but also deceived his own voters by submitting to the wishes of a wanted war criminal who has grown accustomed to exploiting the lives and wealth of American citizens to further the Israeli regime’s objectives,”
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi
Araghchi went onto bemoan the violation of international law
“It is an outrageous, grave and unprecedented violation of the fundamental principles of the Charter of the United Nations and international law,”
The violation of international law has become a norm during the Gaza conflict so American actions are nothing new. As I wrote previously (see below) , international law is now dead.
US defence chiefs have attempted to highlight the success of the mission by claiming their aircraft faced zero attempts to bring them down as well as claiming the nuclear sites have been ‘significantly damaged’.
Trump went further to declare that the nuclear facilities had been ‘obliterated’. The Iranians for their part are suggesting all Uranium had been moved weeks ago, in which case the American’s just bombed a mountain.
With the Zionists struggling to stop Iranian missiles , their iron dome costing them over $200 million to run everyday and domestic public opinion potentially changing they called in the Americans to get the job done quick.
Gazans continue to die
The story: For the pour souls in Gaza, life and death hung in the balance again, as has been the case ever since October 7th. The Iran issue has almost made the world forget about whats happening in Gaza. The American backed Zionist project the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is rounding up Gazan’s on the pretext of food aid and killing them via drone, bombs and straight out shooting.
To say some of the scenes are apocalyptic would be an understatement. As one headline I read put it, ‘this is now beyond dystopia’.
Why is this important: With the ongoing conflict with Iran and the global consequences of it, it would be easy for the world to forget about Gaza. This gives the Zionists a green light to carry on doing what they have been doing, with even less scrutiny.
Political Alchemy view: Before the attacks on Iran global public opinion against the Zionist genocide in Gaza was reaching an inflection point. Gaza is now suffering from not only a genocide but an ‘out of sight out of mind’ problem in terms of global affairs.
Life and death for the Gazan’s is now linked to the very basic of necessities, a bag of flour or some water.
These are not people falling over each other to loot the Apple store in downtown LA as happened during the recent riots. They are not Zionists fighting each other in air raid shelters at the first signs of bombs.
These are young children, men and women fighting with their raw basic instinct to just survive and to feed their families. They are being gunned down for nothing more than the sadistic pleasure of Zionist troops and American mercenaries. Mocking them, filming them and doing it all with global impunity.
As the world cheers Iran’s response to the Zionists, the Muslim world should see this as a sign that Gaza can still be saved via direct military action against Israel.
Trump dines Munir
The story: Pakistan’s newly promoted Field Marshall Asim Munir visited Washington to meet with Donald Trump. He must have made a good first impression because Trump invited him out to dinner (or lunch). Munir should have been worried, not many who dine with Trump maintain their self respect and dignity the next morning.
Why is this important: Pakistan is a key player in the region for America. It has developed a better relationship with China over the last few years, using Chinese built technology in its recent conflict with India. With the Israel - Iran conflict brewing and Pakistan making overtures of support to Iran, America wants to remind Pakistan whose side it should be on.
Political Alchemy view: The timing of the meeting with Trump is most likely more to do with the Israel - Iran issue than anything else. Coming just days before the American attacks on Iran it is probable Munir was warned that Pakistan cannot assist the Iranians in any way. The fact Munir survived a two hour closed door meeting with Trump is testimony to his military training, it couldn’t have been easy.
In addition to sending over Munir to see Trump, Pakistan nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, no its not a joke. The reason being Trump helped resolve its conflict with India. A conflict in which Pakistan had the upper hand and let it slip due to American pressure, not sure that warrants a prize nomination.
The Pakistani media, as is always the case, championed the fact Trump had asked to speak to Munir. Some Pakistani journalists are so colonised they cannot see beyond the apparent. Having America as a friend is not a badge of honour more of letting the wolf into the sheep enclosure. Always awaiting the time when you will be betrayed.
Pakistan may be able to take advantage of some trade deals with America, but ultimately it will be a high price to pay. Nothing Trump says can be relied upon and Pakistan’s lack of political independence has meant it is nothing more than a slave of whichever state comes along to take advantage.
Pakistan was in the ideal position to reject America’s overtures and stand firm on the side of the Gazan’s, by either aiding Iran or directly attacking the Zionists.
A great article “Pakistan’s Triangle of Challenges” makes a case for how Pakistan can take its destiny into its own hands.
