Made in America, Executed by Israel

Everything Israel needed. Nothing Trump denied.

The most dangerous lies in geopolitics are the quiet ones, tucked behind vague denials and official silence.

Trump claims America had “nothing to do” with the attacks on Iran. At the same time, he boasts that the U.S. has “complete and total control of the skies over Iran.” The contradiction isn’t accidental. It’s the framework for how proxy warfare is managed.

He didn’t sign an order. He didn’t issue a public endorsement. But Israel didn’t need one. Trump created the conditions, opened the space, and most importantly, he chose not to say no.

Since leaving the JCPOA in 2018, the administration’s intent was clear: corner Iran. The “maximum pressure” campaign wasn’t designed to reach a deal. It was designed to make one impossible. Sanctions, diplomatic disengagement, and military posturing laid the groundwork.

Israeli sources say U.S. officials helped them convince Iran they were safe during the talks. It wasn’t just military support. It was operational misdirection. Trump gave them the tools. The rest followed.

In the hours before Israel’s June 13 strikes, Trump publicly called for restraint. Meanwhile, the U.S. quietly evacuated diplomats from key posts across the region.

American-made bunker busters. American-provided targeting intelligence. American logistical coordination. The campaign may have Israeli fingerprints, but the infrastructure is U.S.-built.

And Trump knew that.

He needed to satisfy a domestic base that wanted fewer wars, not more. And technically, he delivered. No American boots on Iranian ground. No pilots in the cockpit. Just weapons, data, and plausible distance.

It worked politically. Most Republicans don’t want another Middle East war, but they support Israel’s right to act. Trump kept their support by keeping U.S. involvement off the record and on the battlefield.

Inside the White House, there was a clear red line: don’t do anything that makes American involvement undeniable. Nearly everything else was allowed.

Iran saw it clearly. American arms, American systems, American protection. The only rational response was to accelerate nuclear development. That, in turn, justified further Israeli action.

It became a loop: provocation, reaction, escalation. Each round narrowing Iran’s options.

Israel moved fast. Targeted Iranian proxies across the region. Eliminated Hamas and Hezbollah leaders. Disrupted Iranian networks in Syria. Assassinated IRGC commanders.

This wasn’t just military targeting. It was the dismantling of Iran’s regional strategy.

All of it aligned with Trump’s foreign policy shift. The Abraham Accords created a coalition architecture. This campaign activated it. Israel took the lead. Arab states looked the other way. The U.S. stayed just out of frame.

Strikes delayed Iran’s nuclear program, but didn’t destroy it. Facilities like Fordo remain. Only U.S. munitions can breach them. Continued Israeli operations still depend on American support.

Trump’s team knows this. They’ve avoided formal commitments, but the dependency is strategic. Israel can’t finish the job alone. Iran can’t rebuild without being hit again. That deadlock pushes everyone closer to open war.

The negotiations were never about a deal. They were about time. Trump gave Israel 60 days. When the talks stalled, the operation began. The timing wasn’t accidental. It was coordinated.

Trump didn’t give a direct order. He didn’t need to. Israel acted when they were sure the U.S. wouldn’t stop them.

In public, the administration called Israel’s actions “unilateral.” Privately, coordination continued. Trump wanted to appear restrained, but still get results.

And the messaging was calculated. Secretary Rubio warned Iran not to retaliate. Vice President Vance said the president was “focused on preventing enrichment.” Nothing more. Nothing less.

Behind the scenes, the war was already underway.

Trump didn’t just allow it. He structured it.

No press conference. No resolution. Just silence, logistics, and firepower.

The weapons were American. The strategy was shared. The objective was regime pressure. In practice, that meant regime change.

And Trump knew exactly what he was doing.
