As Professor Mearsheimer explains, if Israel and the US escalate the war, Iran has ‘options’ and ‘can play hardball.’ That is because if Iran destroys the desalination plants and oil infrastructure in the Gulf, then the Gulf states cannot survive, i.e. because there will be no fresh water.

The impact on the world economy will be catastrophic.

Listening to a BBC News anchor this morning, I am not convinced that the proverbial ‘penny’ has dropped. She asked what would happen if the Straights of Hormuz were closed for seven days.

It has been ‘closed’, i.e. ‘gated’ and nothing has been getting into the Gulf States, and no oil has been coming out, except with Iran’s permission destined for e.g. China – for 12 days!

As a Political Science graduate of a top UK school of Political Science, which is the capacity in which I am writing this post, and not in any professional capacity – my jaw dropped when I heard this.

The level of ignorance about what is actually going on the Middle East, including war crimes committed by Israel in Lebanon, where Israel have attacked a high rise appartment block, is beyond my comprehension.

AI (11.03.2026) – ‘Justice Robert H. Jackson’s closing remarks at Nuremberg on July 26, 1946, defined the Nazi crimes as a “supreme” violation of international law. He argued that if the defendants were found not guilty, it would be equivalent to denying that the war, the slain, and the crimes themselves ever existed. Jackson emphasized that, to avoid mere vengeance, the tribunal must uphold the rule of law against unprecedented atrocities, focusing on the planned, systematic nature of the Nazi conspiracy.

Jackson asserted that the prosecution had established that the defendants planned and executed a “war of aggression,” which was the foundational crime enabling all others.

He dismantled the defendants’ excuses, noting that while they claimed ignorance or innocence, the evidence proved they were central to the machinery of murder.

He declared that the trial was not just about punishing individuals, but about making it clear that international law now prohibits the “supreme” crime of aggressive war.

Jackson, acting as the Chief Prosecutor for the United States, insisted that the proceedings were a “tribute that Power has ever paid to Reason,” aiming to replace vengeance with a record of documented, legal judgment.’

In the US, under the War Crimes Act (18 U.S.C. § 2441), the penalty for deliberately committing a War Crime which results in death – is the Death Penalty. ‘Everybody in the kill-chain is [legally] responsible – including the sailors [on the US war ship that launched these missiles].’ These people committed the mass murder of children. The bodies were so badly burned, that some parents could only identify their child by the back-pack that the child was wearing.

The attack on the primary school in Iran was a ‘double-tap’ strike. In other words, before the second Tomahawk Missile was authorised to strike the children’s school, US forces, their commanders, and presumably the self-styled US Secretary of State for War, had visual confirmation of the civilians they had targetted, i.e. children aged between 4 and 10 years old. To my recollection, the last time that a war crime as obscene as this one was committed, was by Germany in World War 2. So, justice demands that there must be War Crimes prosecutions of all military and political leaders involved, i.e. of all those who planned and authorised this attack on children. Under English Law, silence may in some circumstances be deemed to amount to ‘knowing acquiesence’, i.e. by turning a ‘Nelsonian Blind Eye.’ In the context of ‘complicity’ in an unlawful war of aggression in which the UK may become involved, it is therefore logical to conclude, that this may result in the prosecution of UK political leaders for ‘accessory liability’, i.e. for ‘complicity’ in War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity.

AI – ‘Professor Jiang Xueqin  has explicitly stated that he believe the world, including the military and national security apparatus, is run by secret societies he refers to as the Illuminati. In his analysis of the current conflict with Iran, he describes an “eschatological factor” where these groups believe a war in the Middle East is essential for the “end times”. 

Key Predictions and Claims

Professor Jiang, a Chinese-Canadian historian and YouTuber known for his channel Predictive History, gained viral attention for three specific 2024 forecasts that many believe are now unfolding in March 2026: 

  • Trump’s Return: He predicted Donald Trump would return to power.
  • War with Iran: He predicted a major military confrontation between the U.S. and Iran.
  • U.S. Defeat: He predicts that the United States will ultimately lose this war, comparing it to the failed Athenian Sicilian Expedition. 

Theories on the “Illuminati” War

In a 2026 interview, Jiang elaborated on the hidden forces he believes are driving the conflict: 

Secret Societies: He claims the “Illuminati” is an umbrella term for three major groups: the Jesuits (controlling the Vatican), the Sabbatean Frankists (controlling modern Israel), and the Freemasons (controlling the U.S. national security apparatus).

  • Eschatological Motivation: He argues these groups are influenced by a belief that this specific Middle Eastern war is necessary to create “heaven on Earth” through an end-times scenario.
  • Global Financial Reordering: He suggests the war is a pretext for implementing emergency war powers and shifting toward a “Pax Judea” world order run from Jerusalem. 

While Jiang has been dubbed “China’s Nostradamus” by some for his geopolitical accuracy, critics and media outlets like The Free Press have labeled him a conspiracy theorist for these views, noting that his theories often incorporate debunked historical claims and antisemitic tropes.
