On 28 February 2026, the United States of America and Israel attacked Iran, using the pretext of ending Iran’s nuclear weapons program and freeing the people of Iran from the rule of the Ayatollahs, who had ruled Iran with an iron fist since the founding of the Islamic Republic of Iran in 1979. If you have been following the news in the lead up to the bombing of Iran, you would’ve noticed several instances of hypocrisy emanating from the President of the United States of America Donald Trump, and it is these instances of hypocrisy that had come from President Trump that may have exposed the aims of the United States of America in regards to the attack on Iran.

Firstly, I should start by saying that I support the people of Iran in their quest for freedom from the Ayatollahs, and in regards to Israel, I believe that the people of Iran and the people of Israel have more in common with each other than they have with their own government. The people of Israel does not want war with Iran, and the people of Iran don’t want war with Israel, but sadly, it is inevitable that both will be forced into war against each other, which is not in the interests of the people of Israel, nor is it in the interest of the people of Iran.

This is where there is an instance of hypocrisy emanating from President Trump. In the lead up to the bombing of Iran on 28 February 2026, President Trump called for the people of Iran to rise up against the Ayatollahs, and that the United States of America would support the people of Iran in their quest for freedom from the Ayatollahs. And while I do support freedom for the people of Iran from the rule of the Ayatollahs, this is one instance of hypocrisy from the Trump regime in the United States of America, in which, while President Trump had expressed support for the protesters in Iran, the same man called protesters in the United States of America hwho had been protesting against ICE “domestic terrorists” who should be jailed for protesting against ICE agents who had been carrying out human right abuses against American citizens, and in some instances has seen American citizens being killed by ICE. Is this not a double standard emanating from the Trump regime? And why does the Trump regime not care about the people of Gaza?

In addition to the numerous human rights abuses that had been carried out by the Trump regime in the United States of America through the deployment of ICE agents in various places in the United States of America and have killed American citizens, there had been attacks on the democratic process in the United States of America by the Trump regime, including purges in regards to voting databases throughout the United States of America, claiming that there had been instances of non-citizens illegally voting, even though this had largely been disproved, even by the ultraconservative Heritage Foundation. How is this not a double standard emanating from the Trump regime?

Yes, the people of Iran should be free from the Ayatollahs, but at the same time, the people of the United States of America should be free from the Trump regime. And in regards to the conflict in the Middle East, neither the people of Israel, nor the people of the United States of America, nor the people of Iran want war. War is in no one’s interest.

And will those in power send their own children into conflict?
