Preventing Nukes or a Move to Delay the Corruption Trial of Trump's Friend, Netanyahu & an Imperialistic Land Grab for a Rare Earth Mineral Used for Solar Panels and Military Applications?

P.S. Why is Netanyahu trying to re-write the Bible and propagandize Americans?

Disclaimer: The author finds it absurd but still necessary to have a disclaimer stating she is not anti-Semitic. Rather she respects all innocent people no matter their religion, race, or other identifying characteristics. The author is writing this article based on her opinion, facts, and not with the intent of malice, but with the intent of seeking a peaceful world, upholding justice and for the sake of the environment.

I hail from the Oregon Trail Generation¹ and ever since I can remember, Iran has been on the brink from having nuclear weapons. It’s well-documented that Israel - specifically Netanyahu, has been declaring this for years, so I won’t re-invent the wheel.² Significantly, however, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) stated they did not have proof of any efforts by Iran “to move into a nuclear weapon.”³ You may recall that in March of this year, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard reported that Iran was not building nuclear weapons, but after Trump said Gabbard was “wrong”, she has since said the “dishonest media” took her words out of context.⁴ This is odd as the unclassified Annual Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Intelligence Community⁵, states in bold italic font “We continue to assess Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and that Khamenei has not reauthorized the nuclear weapons program he suspended in 2003, though pressure has probably built on him to do so.”

So why now, in the early morning hours of June 12, 2025, did Israel attack Iran - not even a full 24 hours after Netanyahu claimed he was too ill to proceed with his testimony in the corruption trial againt him? And why on June 21, 2025, did Trump, despite his past statements that he wanted to be “a peacemaker and a unifier”⁶, unilaterally, without Congressional approval, unconstitutionally, engage in an act of war by bombing three of Iran’s claimed nuclear sites?

I believe the reasons for this attack are twofold - this is a distraction and a desperate tactic for Netanyahu to delay the corruption trial against him that has been taking place in his own country (ICYMI I highly recommend watching The Bibi Files, a documentary about the topic⁷) as well as what is now being called an attempt to seek “regime change” in Iran as really an attempt to obtain vast amounts of a newly discovered rare earth mineral in Iran, antimony, which is used for solar panels and military applications.

Netanyahu’s June 12, 2025 Speech He Claimed Was to the People of Iran Despite Many Allusions to the U.S. and Explicit Praises to Trump and the U.S.

Shortly after Netanyahu “preemptively” attacked Iran in the early morning hours of June 12, 2025, he gave a speech to the people of Iran in English despite half of the people in Iran not knowing English.⁸ While very few people in Iran know Hebrew, it is worth noting Netanyahu apparently knows at least a couple of words in Farsi - the language of Iran⁹. Surely they could have at least aired the video with Farsi subtitles - I’m sure the Israel PM can afford a translator. It’s unclear how many in Iran know English, but it appears the proficiency is low. Undoubtedly, even fewer know Hebrew.¹⁰

The Religious References

One of the oddest things about Netanyahu’s speech to Americans - I mean to Iranians - is his quoting what he claims the Bible: “as the Bible teaches us when someone comes to kill you rise and act first”. Well I searched the Bible and I could not find that quote. But I did find this quote in the Talmud, which is the Jewish religious text.¹¹ Why Netanyahu is trying to add a Jewish text to the Bible is boggling to me, although it’s clear he is trying to win over Americans - and not Iranians - in his speech. Most Iranians are Muslim and their religious text is the Qur’an, not the Bible.¹² And Jewish people do not call their religious text the “Bible”, but instead Tanakh.¹³ It is evident Netanyahu is trying to appeal to the right evangelical crowd of the U.S. - not the people of Iran.

It is interesting that Israel called its attack on Iran “Operation Rising Lion”. We do see a story in the Bible about a rising lion in Numbers 23. In this chapter, King Balak of Moab hires a man named Balaam to curse Israel, but due to God’s intervention, Balaam is unable to curse Israel, and instead he can only bless Israel - Balaam states “Behold, the people [of Israel] shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.” Numbers 23:24.¹⁴

Attempting to Appease Americans

It is evident in Netanyahu’s speech that he is trying to relate to Americans - and not the people of Iran despite his claim.

One of the first examples of this is when he states “imagine 10,000 tons of TNT landing on a country the size of New Jersey. This is an intolerable threat. It, too, must be stopped.” I’m not saying the people of Iran do not know geography, but I think it is odd Netanyahu makes a geographical reference to the U.S. and not to Iran, that more people of Iran would be more likely to understand. I would be curious to know if the people of Iran have heard of New Jersey and if so, even know the size of the state (not that I am hating on New Jersey).

Netanyahu claims that Iran was working to obtain nuclear weapons, and “[t]he increasing range of Iran’s ballistic missiles would bring that nuclear nightmare to the cities of Europe and eventually to America.” The problem with this claim is that unless Netanyahu is referring to American military bases, Iran’s ballistic missiles have been found only to be capable of hitting targets fewer than 4,000 miles away. In fact, Iran would apparently have difficulty hitting targets even 2,000 miles away, barely capable of even hitting Europe.¹⁵ But again, Netanyahu seems to be trying to get support from the United States in his speech.

Remember, Netanyahu asserts he is speaking to the people of Iran in this speech, so why he brings up the U.S. at all in his speech is odd. But he goes on to continue to speak about the U.S. as his speech continues. “Remember, Iran calls Israel the small Satan. It calls America the great Satan. And this is why, for decades, it’s led millions in the chance of death to Israel and death to America. Today, Israel is responding to those genocidal calls with action and with a call of our own. Long live Israel and long live America.” It could not be any more clear that Netanyahu is trying to win over the people of the U.S. - not the people of Iran - he is expressing more wishes of good fortune to the U.S. than to Iran throughout his speech.

Netanyahu goes from just paying his respects to the U.S. to flat out commending Trump, as if they were a participant in the June 12 events, which they were not - at least from a direct military point of view (It is widely known that the U.S. gives a plethora of money to Israel every year - in 2022, they gave $3.3 billion alone to the country, and I must add the country has universal healthcare and lower public college costs than the U.S.¹⁶) In his speech, Netanyahu says “I want to thank President Trump for his leadership in confronting Iran’s nuclear weapons program. He has made clear time and again that Iran cannot have a nuclear enrichment program.” This whole rhetroic is bizarre given that Netanyahu is speaking to the people of Iran - so what do they care what the leader of another country thinks? Recall - at this point, the U.S. had not yet attacked Iran.

The last sentences of Netanyahu’s speech to Iran are also odd - “May God bless Israel. May God bless the forces of civilization everywhere. Thank you.” The prime minister seems to be forgetting he is speaking to the civilians of a country he just bombed.

The Distraction from Netanyahu’s Corruption Trial

ICYMI, Netanyahu has been on trial for corruption in Israel and the recent allegations, which led to an investigation beginning in 2016 are not the first time the Israeli prime minster has been accused of corruption.

Netanyahu’s History of Alleged Corrupt Conduct

1997

In 1997, police sought for Netanyahu’s indictment for appointing an attorney who had “close ties” to Netanyahu’s party, as attorney general “under pressure” from “one of Mr. Netanyahu’s political allies, Aryeh Deri, who was facing corruption charges.” Although Israel’s prosecutors announced they did not have sufficient evidence to bring charges, they stated they did have a “tangible suspicion” about Netanyahu.¹⁷

1999

Israeli police again recommended Netanyahu be indicted for corruption in 1999 for corruption due to the Netanyahus using public funds for home improvements and maintenance; however, the Israeli attorney general did not prosecute the case, again citing lack of sufficient evidence.¹⁸

2000

The following year, police again recommended Netanyahu be charged for corruption for benefiting more than the equivalent of $81,000 in U.S. dollars. However, again, the attorney general could not find sufficient evidence¹⁹.

However, nineteen years later, following a three-year investigation, enough evidence was obtained for the attorney general to issue an indictment in 2019.

2019-present - Enough Evidence Is Obtained To Prosecute Netanyahu For Corruption But His Trial Is Postponed Due To “The War”

In 2019, Netanyahu was indictment on one charge of taking a bribe and three counts of breach of trust.

In Cases 4000 and 2000, Netanyahu is accused of seeking positive media coverage from two different media entites (the Bezeg Group, of whitch Shaul Elovitch was the controlling shareholder in Case 4000 and Yedioth Ahronoth, owned and published by Arnon Mozes in Case 2000. Netanyahu is also accused of promoting Mozes’s business interests in Case 2000.) Netanyahu was indicted for fraud and breach of trust regarding both cases and also for taking a bribe regarding Case 4000. (The Elovitch couple was charged with bribery, obstruction of justice, and suborning a witness regarding Case 4000 and Mozes was indicted with offering a bribe regarding Case 2000.)

In case 1000, Netanyahu is accused of receiving items of material value (mostly cigars and champagne) amounting to nearly 700,000 Israeli New Shekels (almost $206,000 in U.S. dollars) from Arnon Milchan (an Israeli who served as an intelligence operative for Israel before becoming an award-winning Hollywood film producer, known for his work in 12 Years a Slave, Fight Club, and Mr. & Mrs. Smith²⁰) and James Packer (an Australian billionaire businessman and investor, known for his past relationship to Mariah Carey²¹). While acting in his official role as a public servant, Netanyahu intervened with U.S. government officials to secure Milchan a visa to the U.S. twice and had the tax reporting exemption period that is given for returning residents extended during the years of 2013 to 2014; and in 2015, Netanyahu contacted another government official to assist Milchan, who was considering an investment, to make that investment beneficial to Milchan. In this case, Netanyahu is accused of fraud and breach of trust.²²

If convinced on the bribe charge, Netanyahu could face up to ten years in prison as well as a fine. The fraud and breach of trust charges could mean a prison sentence up to three years.²³

Although the trial began in May 2020, it was initially delayed due to COVID-19 and more recently due to the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel by Hamas and the subsequent war on Gaza.²⁴ In December 2024, the trial reconvened after Israel’s top court rejected the 10-week delay sought by Netanyahu the month prior. Although Netanyahu’s legal team argued Netanyahu was unable to prepare due to Israel’s conflicts, the Court said “were not convinced that a substantial change in circumstances has occurred which would justify a change to the date [they] set in [their original] decision”.²⁵ One has to wonder if the war in Gaza is also perpetrated by Netanyahu’s deep-seed hatred for Palestinians as his brother Yonatan Netanyahu died while serving in the IDF in a counter-terrorist operation by the PLO.²⁶

After 36 dates Netanyahu took for primary testimony, cross-examination of him began on June 3, 2025 and at this time, before the recent conflict with Iran, it was believed a year would be needed to complete Netanyahu’s cross-examination.²⁷

On June 11, the day before Netanyahu launched an attack on Iran, he asked for his cross-examination to be delayed “due to his illness, without providing further details”, which the court allowed.²⁸

Then, less than 24 hours after getting out of court, Netanyahu launched an attack on Iran, claiming this time they really did have weapons of mass destruction they were about to use despite claiming this over and over again for the past couple of decades. It does not seem that Netanyahu’s trial has reconvened and against Trump’s wishes, Netanyahu violated the ceasefire agreement with Iran, in what looks like attempts to put Israel into forever wars in a desparate attempt to forever postpone his corruption trial. In fact, some people claim that Netanyahu has escalted the conflict with Palestine as another attempt to postpone his trial.

It’s worth noting that not only has Netanyahu been charged with corruption in his own country, but the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu on November 21, 2024 for war crimes and crimes against humanity including starvation as a method of warfare, intentionally directing an attack against a civil population, murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts.²⁹ It does not seem that Israel is enforcing this warrant and neither is the U.S., although they are not members of the I.C.C. However, it seems like this warrant is hurting any summer vacation Netanyahu had planned to travel all of Europe, as it appears other countries are willing to arrest Netanyahu.³⁰

As if the criminal allegations against Netanyahu were not enough to question the timing of the attack on Iran, it’s worth noting that earlier this year Iran discovered a lot of antimony, which is essential for making solar energy products and for military applications, and that China, whom the U.S. previously got half of their supply from, banned the export of antimony last year.

Is Antimony To Blame For This Apparent Acrimony?

In December of last year, China banned the export of antimony and graphite, which constituted about half of the imports of these minerals to the U.S. over the past two years. Antimony is used to make solar grids, flame retardants, lead-acid batteries, ammunition, night vision devices, explosives, flares, nuclear weapons production, and infrared sensors.

In March of this year, Iran discovered 7,000 tons of antimony.³¹

Republican President Advisor/Conservative Think Tank The Heritage Foundation Encourages Trump To Get More Antimony The Same Day Israel Attacked Iran

Curiously enough, the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank notorious for its apparent role in shaping the policies of Republican presidents, came out with a report the same day Israel attacked Iran discussing the importance of antimony. Anna Gustafson, the author of the report, wrote that “Antimony is a critical mineral for defense production. […] Washington must act accordingly.”³² The author encourages the U.S. to seek antimony from Tajikistan, which has about 21,000 tons of antimony and is the top exporter of antimony and states Turkey is the second largest producer, with 6,000 tons; however, this is incorrect with the recent finding earlier this year that Iran has 7,000 tons, which is more than Turkey’s 6,000 tons.

A Brief History Of The Heritage Foundation

The Heritage Foundation’s role in making Republican presidents’ policies is well known and not even something The Heritage Foundation attempts to hide itself. Since Reagan’s presidency, the organization has had an integral influence in presidential policies, especially Republicans. The Foundation even bragged that President Reagan gave copies of their white paper “Mandate for Leadership” to his cabinet members an that “[n]early two-thirds of [Heritage Foundation’s] 2,000 recommendations were adopted or attempted by the Reagan administration.” Reagan even supposedly said The Heritage Foundation was a “vital force” during his presidency.³³ The Heritage Foundation was reported to also have “laid much of the groundwork for Bush [Senior] administration thinking.”³⁴ The Heritage Foundation’s welfare proposals were even passed into law by Clinton during his tenure. During George W. Bush’s administration, The Heritage Foundation created a Homeland Security Task Force and two-thirds of their recommendations were implemented.³⁵

It’s quite apropos that during his 2003 speech to The Heritage Foundation then President Bush said “Presidents come and go, except here at the Heritage Foundation”, which was met with laughter from the audience.³⁶

Although The Heritage Foundation initially criticized Trump as a presidential candidate³⁷, they sure curried favor with him after he won the 2016 election. Trump hired a number of Heritage Foundation officials for his transition team.³⁸ A number of Heritage Foundation officials actually were hired for spots on Trump’s administration - Heritage’s senior vice president and general counsel John Mitnick was selected to serve as general counsel for the Department of Homeland Security, Justin T. Johnson, was selected to serve as a special assistant to the deputy secretary of defense, Steven Groves was selected to serve as deputy to White House Special Counsel, Lisa Curtis was selected to serve as the National Security Council’s senior director for South and Central Asia, and Roger Severino was selected to serve as head of the Civil Rights Office at the Department of Health and Human Services.³⁹ Trump even sought the input of The Heritage Foundation in deciding Supreme Court nominees.⁴⁰

CNN reported of The Heritage Foundation “No other Washington institution has that kind of footprint in the transition.”⁴¹

It therefore should come to no surprise that The Heritage Foundation later boasted a year after taking office that Trump had “embraced nearly two-thirds of the policy recommendations from The Heritage Foundation’s ‘Mandate for Leadership’”, their white paper issued days before the 2016 election.⁴²

Project 2025 - An Assault on America - The Heritage Foundation’s Role Shaping Trump’s Policies In Current Troubling Times

ICYMI, in 2024, The Heritage Foundation issued a manifesto that even I found very concerning - Project 2025⁴³ - more details on that in an upcoming publication. The bellicose Heritage Foundation is very eager to engage in conflict with Iran. The report states that the U.S. and its allies “face real threats from […] Iran and asks the President to “[s]ustain support for Israel” (pages 93-94). Heritage’s report states “Iran is inching closer to nuclear capability. [and] “Iran continues to maintain a missile arsenal that is capable of striking U.S.and allied assets in the Middle East and Europe, and its rocket launches demonstrate that it either has or is developing the ability to build ICBMs.” (pages 123, 125). The Heritage Foundation’s manifesto continues to lament about Iran: “Unfortunately, the Obama and Biden Administrations have propped up the brutal Islamist theocracy that has hurt the Iranian people and threatened nuclear war. […T]he Obama Administration [gave] hundreds of billions of dollars to the Iranian government and provid[ed] other sanctions relief. This economic relief […] emboldened its brutality, its efforts to expand its nuclear weapons programs”. (pg 180-181) The Heritage Foundation again calls for the U.S. to take action and support Israel in fighting Iran: “the U.S. must prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear technology and delivery technology and delivery capabilities and more broadly block Iranian ambitions. This means […] ensuring Israel has both the military means and the political support and flexibility to take what it deems to be appropriate measures to defend itself against the Iranian regime” (page 185).

Again, this rhetoric from The Heritage Foundation is very puzzling and at odds with Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s remarks earlier this year. As a former CIA agent (is there such thing as a former CIA agent?), you would think Gabbard would be very well informed of international issues. Additionally, the Annual Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community, as noted above, did not find Iran to be a nuclear threat either.

Yet it seems pretty evident at this point that the creature people call “the deep state” that really controls D.C. is entities such as The Heritage Foundation, unelected far right wing supporters who write their wish lists which in turn become presidential policy.

Despite Trump’s prior claims that he did not know anything about Project 2025 and who was behind it, it’s hard to believe him since he has spoken at The Heritage Foundation and in a 2022 speech before the group he said of The Heritage Foundation “They’re going to lay the groundwork and detail plans for exactly what our movement will do”.⁴⁴

So when The Heritage Foundation released a report about the need for the U.S. to get antimony from other countries other than China the same day Israel bombed the antimony-rich country of Iran, it’s no surprise that on June 21, 2025 Trump violated the Constitution by engaging in act of war bombing Iran without the approval of Congress. (Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution gives Congress the sole right to declare war - you should have a hard copy of the Constitution but in case you don’t, here’s a link to it - print it out and save it! - https://constitutioncenter.org/the-constitution/full-text)

It’s said that history repeats itself and I continue to see similarities between the 2003 attack on Iraq and the recent attacks on Iran.

Like Iraq, Iran is being accused of having “weapons of mass destruction”. And ICYMI, during the Iraq invasion, the U.S. stole many artifacts from the country and some found their place at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.⁴⁵ I can’t help but think the recent attacks on Iran are to steal their antimony just to embolden our military industrial complex and the desire to enlarge the solar energy industry.

It’s clear to me that corruption is not just an issue in Israel, but in the U.S. as well. It’s ironic Trump has run on platforms claiming to “drain the swamp” when it appears the “swamp” he should drain is what it appears to be these unelected people at a think tank that for over forty years have essentially dictated to not just Republican presidents, but Democrat presidents as well, what actions they should take - and those actions appear to have influenced Trump’s decision to attack Iran.

11. Specifically, Sanhedrin 72a states the sentence Netanyahu is trying to make a part of the Bible.

I think it is also apropros to note that Revelation 22:18-19 reads: “If any man shall add unto [the Bible], God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.”
