No Easter Miracle for Trump: Neither Bogus Ceasefire with Iran nor Uranium from Isfahan
A leading specialist on Iran affairs and former MI6 officer, along with Palestinian military analysts, exposes Israel–US propaganda that spins the Pentagon’s mission failure as “a rescue miracle.”
Greetings! Hope your Easter egg hunt was more joyous than Trump’s mindless attempt to do Maduro in Iran. As former US Marine officer Jim Webb—whose family has served in the US Armed Forces over three generations—noted, losing five US military aircraft in a single mission, with a large number of troops on board, was not exactly a mission success.
Even by the typical standards of war deceptions, propaganda, and outright cover‑ups, the patriotic‑sounding American narratives of how the United States Armed Forces pulled off a miraculous rescue mission are in a different league of spin. Social media and legacy media are littered with this “rescue miracle” for the two US pilots who ejected from their F‑18 Eagle, which Iranians shot down.
That Iranians—whose Russian‑made air defenses Trump repeatedly boasts have been “obliterated” since the American‑Israeli war of aggression on Iran began on 28 February—managed to shoot down US aircraft is more of a miracle than the reported “successful rescue mission” for the second missing US officer.
But even this Hollywood ending to the Americans’ Easter pilot hunt defies all logic, physical geography, and verified realities.
Watch two American military experts dissect this Easter “miracle” of the US rescue mission:

It is one thing that US Marines receive world‑class training near the Chocolate Mountains, about a three‑hour drive from the make‑believe world of Zionist‑controlled Hollywood, but it is an entirely different matter when the supposed special‑forces rescue mission almost went south.
US Commander‑in‑Chief and President Donald J. Trump has become the singular source of national embarrassment for millions of good Americans who want him gone instantly.
Millions cringe at Trump’s vile crassness, vanity, brazen war crimes, self‑evident madness, and blood‑thirsty indifference to human lives and suffering—including the US soldiers he has been sending into harm’s way in the “kill box” Iran has set up, not to mention Palestinians, Lebanese, Yemenis, and Iranians who are on the receiving end of Made‑in‑USA bombs, missiles, and other deadly projectiles.
But for the 93% of Israeli society whom Israel Prize recipient the late Professor Leibowitz called “Judeo‑Nazis,” who fully support Netanyahu’s Hitlerite war of aggression against Iran—unprovoked and unjustified—the American rapist‑in‑chief is a godsend.
Someone left a comment on my latest Substack saying, “Israel has video recordings of Donald Trump raping children,” implying that Trump, who ran on a “no forever wars” ticket, has been coerced into waging this war at Israel’s behest.
On the eve of Trump’s war of aggression—for Israel, as Little Marco, the National Security Advisor, and the US Secretary of State effectively confessed on camera—Mossad Chief David Barnea and his wife reportedly stayed at Blair House as Trump’s presidential guests. Barnea’s boss, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, paid no fewer than seven visits to Trump in the first year of Trump’s second presidency.

Here are a couple of credible expert analyses that completely undermine the credibility of the American “Easter Miracle” of a successful rescue.

US Bases Are Burning, Soldiers Are Dying, and Trump Is Lying | John Mearsheimer 6 April 2026
On the informed assessment of the “pathetic” quality of public AND elite discourses on Iran in the United States and Israel, these American and Israeli reflections suffice. Rational discussions (and negotiations) with deceptive and Pavlovian actors are simply futile.
That spells trouble for the rest of the world.
Iranians have dealt with both Americans and Israelis in power. They have rightly concluded that neither has shown humanity, integrity, or the capacity to understand the other side.

Whether it is blackmail via Epstein operations or simply money (and payback demands) from “Judeo‑Nazi” or Zionist billionaires who made Trump’s two‑term presidency possible, Trump is not getting his “Golden Off‑Ramp.”
