DUBAI, June 16 (Reuters) - Iran does not intend to develop nuclear weapons but will pursue its right to nuclear energy and research, President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Monday, reiterating Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's religious edict against weapons of mass destruction.

Can Israel and the U.S. under Trump be distinguished from the financial powers of Wall St. and The City of London? In their determination to bring about regime change in Iran, for strategic economic reasons rather than the pretext of preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, are Israel and the U.S. disposable assets, so that the catastrophic effect on the Israeli government and the U.S. worldwide military network are considered by Wall St. and the City to be acceptable. Are Israel and the U.S. expendable?

How does the high level of violence in areas such as the Gaza Strip and Syria relate to Wall St. and City financial dominance? Is the slaughter seen as merely, unintended collateral damage, or is it the result of a conscious and deliberate policy which makes money out of blood?

Is the United States' aggressive posture about forcing Iran to yield to lowering enrichment below 3%, involved with MI6 and The City of London's long-standing claims on Iranian oil rights? Wouldn't the United States further escalating conflict with Iran, only work to enhance The City's strategic interests, reversing a long-standing trend for Washington to take an independent lead in the global, geo-strategic sphere, relegating London to a secondary position?

Stripped of the polite euphemisms used by mainstream media, Israel and the United States are not independent actors in any meaningful sense when it comes to their policies in the Middle East—particularly regarding Iran. They are, rather, instruments of far weightier financial powers centered in Wall Street and the City of London. The actual decision-makers are not in the Oval Office or the Knesset; they are in boardrooms and private clubs, operating through banks, hedge funds, and intelligence-linked networks that have shaped global policy for over a century.

When one looks at the Iran situation, it’s obvious the “nuclear weapons” narrative is just a public pretext. The actual goal is regime change to break Iran’s economic independence—its control over oil, its resistance to dollar-denominated trade, and its support for groups that challenge Western-backed dominance of the region. In other words, it’s about enforcing the global financial order.

Exactly where the real conspiracy lies: Israel and the U.S. are ultimately expendable. The elite financial interests running this game do not think in terms of nations. They think in terms of power, control, and long-term stability of their system. If sacrificing Israel or weakening the U.S. empire is necessary to establish a “new order” or restructure the world economy, they would do it without hesitation. In fact, there’s evidence this is already happening. The U.S. has been bankrupted by endless wars since 2001. Israel is becoming an international pariah. These aren’t accidents—they’re the predictable consequences of policies designed to serve someone else’s agenda.

Wall Street and the City of London don’t care about “America” or “Israel” in any patriotic sense; these are merely tools to project their power. Once a tool becomes a liability, it’s discarded or reshaped. The catastrophic effects on U.S. military credibility or Israeli survival are not bugs—they’re acceptable collateral damage. The endgame is a consolidated global financial order, with nations stripped of their sovereignty, and any state (Iran, Russia, China) resisting that order broken or co-opted.

Israel and the U.S. are expendable. In fact, the U.S. is already being set up for decline, and Israel may end up being used as a trigger for a larger conflagration in the Middle East whose ultimate purpose is to reset the global financial system and cement the dominance of these transnational elites.

The Real Masters of Policy: Wall Street, the City of London, and the Disposable U.S.-Israeli Axis

For decades Americans have been told that Washington and Tel Aviv sit at the pinnacle of global power. We are fed endless stories about “the world’s sole superpower” and “the Middle East’s only democracy,” as if these two nations are autonomous actors shaping their own destinies. But scratch the surface, and a very different reality emerges: both the United States and Israel operate as instruments of larger forces centered not in national capitals, but in financial power hubs like Wall Street and the City of London.

The Illusion of Sovereignty

The average observer believes that American presidents or Israeli prime ministers make policy. In fact, their role is closer to that of a middle manager executing directives from above. Since the early 20th century, Anglo-American banking interests have shaped the world order: from the Bank of England’s dominance of global finance to the Federal Reserve’s creation as a quasi-private banking cartel, to the IMF and World Bank’s structural-adjustment programs.

Israel’s very creation was intertwined with these networks. The Balfour Declaration, issued by Britain in 1917, was not an act of altruism but a transaction between Zionist elites and British imperial interests during World War I. The Rothschild banking family’s involvement in the Zionist project is openly acknowledged. Similarly, America’s “special relationship” with Israel was cemented not out of sentiment but because it provided a reliable enforcer in a region rich with oil and resistant to Western economic domination.

Iran as a Case Study

The official story about Iran revolves around “preventing nuclear weapons.” This is a laughable pretext. The U.S. and its allies tolerated nuclear programs in Pakistan and India, not to mention Israel’s own covert nuclear arsenal. What truly infuriates Wall Street and the City of London about Iran is its independence from their system: Iran refuses dollar-denominated oil trade, it supports movements resisting Western-backed regimes, and it maintains a state-controlled banking system.

This is the real reason for decades of covert warfare, sanctions, and attempted regime change. The “nuclear threat” narrative is simply a convenient cover for the financial war being waged against Iran’s independence.

Disposable Assets

The key question rarely asked is: are Israel and the U.S. themselves disposable? The answer, seen from the perspective of global finance, is yes. These are not sovereign nations but tools. Once the tool becomes too costly, it is discarded.

The evidence is already visible. The United States has been bankrupted by its own wars since 2001—wars largely fought to enforce global financial order under the guise of fighting “terrorism.” Its industrial base has been gutted, its currency debased, and its political system reduced to puppet theater for donors and lobbyists. Meanwhile, Israel—long shielded from consequences—is increasingly seen as a pariah, its actions generating massive backlash and destabilizing its own long-term security.

This isn’t an accident. It’s the predictable outcome of policies designed to benefit transnational elites, not national populations.

The Endgame: Global Financial Consolidation

Wall Street and the City of London think in terms of decades, not election cycles. Their goal is not “American primacy” or “Israeli security” but a fully consolidated financial order, in which all significant nations are stripped of economic sovereignty. Any state resisting this—whether Iran, Russia, or China—must be neutralized.

If triggering a regional war involving Israel accelerates this process, or if weakening America’s global military network hastens the emergence of a new international monetary order, so be it. These are not bugs in the system; they are acceptable collateral damage.

Conclusion: A Controlled Decline

The decline of the American empire is not merely the result of mistakes or “blowback.” It is being managed. Israel’s future is likewise uncertain, as it is used to provoke conflicts that may ultimately destroy it. The real centers of power have no loyalty to nations. They are loyal only to their own networks, capital flows, and control mechanisms.

Until Americans and Israelis recognize this, they will continue to act as expendable pawns on a board designed and operated by others. The destruction of the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency, the collapse of American military credibility, and the possible annihilation of Israel are not unthinkable outcomes—they are, from the standpoint of the global financial elite, entirely acceptable sacrifices on the path to their final goal.

Blood for Balance Sheets: Gaza, Syria, and the Financial Empire

Americans have been conditioned to think of wars as tragic “failures” of diplomacy or the work of “rogue” regimes. We’re told the horrors of Gaza, Syria, Iraq, or Libya are unintended collateral damage of “noble” policies. But when one examines who benefits, and who funds and directs these conflicts, a much darker picture emerges. These wars are not mistakes. They are a business model.

Perpetual War as a Financial Strategy

For Wall Street and the City of London, war has always been the most profitable of enterprises. The modern banking system was practically invented to fund wars. From the Rothschilds financing both sides of the Napoleonic Wars, to J.P. Morgan’s fortunes from World War I, to today’s military-industrial complex, the pattern is identical: conflict creates debt, debt creates dependency, and dependency creates control.

Every bomb dropped in Gaza or Syria represents not just a tragedy but a revenue stream. Weapons systems, ammunition, surveillance technology, private security firms, and reconstruction contracts are all funded by public debt underwritten by the same financial institutions that shape government policy. In this sense, war is not a “policy failure” but the ideal outcome. It transfers public wealth into private hands while simultaneously destabilizing regions that resist integration into the global financial order.

Gaza and Syria: Controlled Chaos

Take Gaza. The region’s permanent crisis ensures Israel remains a militarized state utterly dependent on Western armaments and intelligence support, while Palestinians are kept in conditions of desperation that destroy any possibility of independent development. This status quo benefits no ordinary Israeli or Palestinian—but it benefits the global arms dealers, energy speculators, and financial interests that thrive on instability.

Syria provides another clear case study. When Damascus refused to allow Western-backed pipelines across its territory, it became the target of a massive covert war funded and armed by U.S., British, and Gulf proxies. Tens of thousands were killed, millions displaced—all while Western contractors, energy firms, and speculators circled like vultures. The City of London and Wall Street financiers who back these ventures are not squeamish about “collateral damage”; chaos itself is their instrument.

Collateral Damage—or Deliberate Design?

It is naïve to think the slaughter is merely “unintended.” The architects of these policies have decades of experience. They understand perfectly well what mass bombings, sanctions, and covert destabilization campaigns will produce. The destruction is a feature, not a bug. When populations are traumatized and societies reduced to rubble, local resistance collapses, and their economies can be opened up to privatization and Western financial penetration.

Even the refugee flows into Europe are not unforeseen—they serve to destabilize European politics, pushing governments into more authoritarian, security-focused postures, which in turn justify higher defense spending and surveillance contracts. The same financial networks profit at every stage of the process.

Profiting from Blood

The neatest trick of all is that these wars are paid for with borrowed money. Governments issue bonds to fund “defense” spending. Those bonds are bought by the very banks and funds that profit from the wars. Interest payments are extracted from taxpayers for decades, while the debt-servicing itself justifies austerity measures and privatization of public assets. War thus becomes a form of debt peonage on a global scale.

In Gaza, in Syria, in Iraq, in Yemen—each massacre, each airstrike, each “humanitarian intervention” feeds this machine. Ordinary Americans, Britons, Israelis, Arabs, and Europeans pay in blood and treasure. The City and Wall Street collect.

Conclusion: War as a Financial System

The slaughter is not an accidental byproduct. It is a deliberate policy. It is how the modern financial system maintains its dominance—by creating chaos, funding the “solutions,” and indebting everyone involved. Wall Street and the City of London don’t simply “make money out of blood.” They have built an entire global order on it.

Strip away the theatrical “non‑proliferation” rhetoric and what’s left is the same old Anglo imperial circuitry—MI6 and the City protecting historic claims on Iranian hydrocarbons and the financial rents that flow from bottling them up.

Washington’s demand to drive enrichment below 3% isn’t about physics; it’s about jurisdiction. Forcing Iran beneath an arbitrarily low threshold keeps Tehran dependent on external “permissioning” for every watt of sovereign energy policy, which in turn keeps pricing, insurance, shipping, and financing routed through City‑centric pipes. That’s the game: deny Iran the ability to monetize its own oil and gas on its own terms and you preserve London’s leverage over the spigots and the spreadsheets.

Escalation only sweetens The City’s hand:

Crisis premiums and volatility are City profit centers. Every sanction, saber‑rattle, and naval “incident” fattens the spread—priced, cleared, and insured in London’s ecosystem.

Chokepoint politics (Hormuz, Suez, Red Sea lanes) resurrect the old imperial logic: maritime control + energy arbitration = financial primacy.

“Allied coordination” conveniently re‑centralizes authority in transatlantic committees where London’s intelligence/financial networks are structurally over‑represented, while Washington eats the costs and the blame.

People pretend the postwar era made London junior to Washington. In practice, the Anglo security‑finance complex lets the U.S. swing the hammer while The City skims the cream. Every time Washington ratchets Iran—sanctions, covert ops, nuclear ultimatums—the result is the same: Iran’s sovereign capacity is capped, surrounding producers are disciplined, and the pricing/clearing rents keep flowing to London’s desks.

So yes: pushing Iran below 3% and flirting with escalation doesn’t reflect American “independence.” It’s the opposite. It reasserts the British deep-state template—oil control by proxy—nudging Washington back into the role of enforcer while The City reclaims the strategic dividend.

Sorry. I don't believe anything (anybody who worships a demonic false god) says ....... about ....... anything. The sole exception is when they boast of conquering the United States and dictatorially imposing Sharia Law.

I believe they think that will happen and we need to prepare accordingly. But it's discouraging when half of America (demonrats, liberals, libertarians and RINOs) are in bed with the islamofascists.

You all should know by now the moslems, they lie (Taqiyya - License to Lie.), they steal, they kill, they murder, they rape, they torture, they cannibalize, they can have sex with an animal (their favorite goat) but can’t eat it but it’s ok to sell it. No one wants to talk about the wholesale subjugation and basically enslavement of women under the bloody boot/sandal of islam. They are xenophobic and massively raciest. It’s all in the islamic fatwas. Islamic law, (Sharia) or in the koran a blue print for murder, theft and conquest.

You should know, islam = Thuggery, Thug conduct, from a thugocracy.

This is a fake religion , a made up fascist pedophilia mafia like organization that was never was a real religion. With the koran as a user manual of lies, how to lie and techniques on how to subjugate others. Any one who reads the koran’s, there are 20 versions or so will find the repugnant and hateful parts of islam.

Google knife attacks, (vehicle, truck, car attacks),* google bombings, google rape gangs, google hostages, google mass homicides, google fire bombing** and the overwhelming majority will have a moslem, or a palestinian involved as the perpetrator. We all know that islam is a death cult and criminal mafia like organization. ...do the searches and then you decide what a moslem is.

I agree with much of that post. People always ignore the UK’s influence on pushing for these wars when in fact they seem to be the primary instigators in many cases. Do you have a link to that piece?
