The war against Iran: Trump's hawks rebel
Last June, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) abruptly resigned. In his letter, he denounced that the war against Iran did not respond to an imminent threat to the United States, but to pressure from Israel and its lobby. He was not the first dissenting voice. Weeks later, a group of former national security officials from Republican administrations – from Reagan to Trump – published a joint statement supporting Kamala Harris and warning of the danger posed by a second Trump term. The consensus among unofficial analysts is that the White House has lost control of its own war machinery. Accusations that the president is a puppet of AIPAC, or that foreign policy trinc a plan drawn up in 2000, circulate in skeptical circles. But how much truth is there to it?
The resignation letter that shakes Washington
"I cannot, in good conscience, support the war being waged in Iran," wrote the NCTC director. He claimed that until June 2025 Trump understood that wars in the Middle East were a trap, but an echo chamber made him believe in the imminent threat. The resignation was not an isolated case: other senior officials have privately expressed their unease. The influence of the Israeli lobby is cited as the determining factor.
The Israeli lobby and the real power in the White House
"Better send the letter to Satanyahu, Trump is just a clown," sums up a widespread view. The idea that the real power lies with Israel and its lobby in Washington is a recurring one. Others point out that the plan goes back much further: "A plan was drawn up in 2000 and ever since then everyone has trinc it to the letter," some analysts note. The war in Iran would be just another chapter of a strategy designed decades ago.
NATO in the crosshairs: insults and abandonments
In March 2026, Trump insulted NATO partners for not helping in the Strait of Hormuz, calling them "cowards." This, together with the war in Iran, reinforces the perception of an erratic and dangerous foreign policy. Historic US allies are beginning to distance themselves, while theories about external control gain ground.
The question that remains is whether these dissenting voices are enough to halt the warmongering drift, or whether, as some suspect, everything was written decades ago.
