Is Israel Blackmailing Donald Trump Over Epstein Files Not Yet Released to Prevent an Agreement with Iran?

About 3 hours before I am publishing this, international journalist Pepe Escobar was interviewed by Nema Alkhorshid regarding the alleged new agreement between the U.S. and Iran, which is supposed to be signed later this week in Switzerland at the current G7 meeting. This is a very good interview (let us know if it disappears from YouTube, as we have a copy that can be restored) to watch to counter the propaganda coming out of the U.S. media about this alleged agreement, which caused the U.S. Stock Market to soar this week, until today when new Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh announced that interest rates would probably be increased later this year due to inflation, which sent the markets into a tailspin at closing today. Escobar suggests that the Trump administration is just buying time with this agreement, going into the midterm elections later this year, and has no intention of abiding by it. Nema Alkhorshid played a short video clip from journalist Afshin Rattansi that was published on the Russian English website, RT.com earlier this year, where he interviewed former Israeli intelligence officer Ari Ben-Menashe about the Epstein files. I am embedding this video below, as I am not sure much of it is available on YouTube anymore. Ari Ben-Menashe claims that Israel contains information from the Epstein files about Donald Trump that has not been published yet, and if it was published, it would immediately bring down the Trump administration. He claims Israel is using this to try and blackmail Trump not to give in to Iran's demands.

Iran Still Standing and Still Controlling the Strait of Hormuz after One Year of Being Bombed by Israel and U.S. – Trump Uses War for Insider Trading for Profit

Earlier this week, trading in the U.S. Stock Exchanges were significantly declining, leading many analysts to speculate that the AI bubble might finally be bursting. But by Thursday, one day before Elon Musk's SpaceX IPO listing on the NASDAQ, Trump made sure that the failing stock markets would not derail what was going to be the largest IPO entry into the U.S. Stock Market in the history of Wall St., so he did what he has done so often before during the Iran War, and he announced that they had agreed on a "peace deal" with Iran, and the stock market skyrocketed to new heights, wiping out all of the losses from earlier in the week. But is there actually a peace deal in place with Iran to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz? If you only get your news from the U.S. corporate media, which all for the most part print the same thing about the war whether they are "Left" and "hate" Trump, or from the "Right" who support Trump, you probably think that Iran is giving up and caving to the demands of Israel and Trump. To understand how the rest of the world outside of the U.S. and the West view the events now happening, you need to read what the Iranians and others are saying. Now as I have stated multiple times since this war started, BOTH SIDES will lie and use psychological warfare to their advantage. So when I present the Iranian view, I am not endorsing it as 100% true. But it does give the alternative perspective, and the fact that Iranians seem to still be taking to the streets in large numbers each day seems to suggest that their regime is not about to fall, and in fact may be establishing Iran as one of the major superpowers in the world today. This from PressTV, the major English language news source coming out of Iran, and it was just published today. While the author is not named, you will quickly see it is someone who is highly educated and whose native language is probably English. It is literally written like a legal brief, and probably accurately describes Iran's current position on where this war is at right now. It marks the one-year anniversary of when Israel and the U.S. began bombing Iran in the "12-Day War" last year.

Is Nuclear War with Iran and America and Israel Imminent?

Back at the end of March we published the story of Mohamad Safa, a permanent member of the UN and Executive Director of the Patriotic Vision Organization for the past 12 years, and how he resigned from his job and gave up his career so that he could leak information about an alleged UN plan to launch nuclear weapons into Iran. When the U.S. and Israel assassinated Ali Khamenei, the Supreme leader of Iran, at the start of the current Iran war, the U.S. and Israel thought the regime would crumble. However, it was Khamenei himself who for over 3 decades prevented Iran from developing nuclear weapons, stating that it went against the religious principles of Shia Islam. However, his son, Mojtaba Khamenei, has now succeeded him as the new Supreme leader of Iran, and according to sources inside of Pakistan, which has been the main country trying to create a ceasefire agreement in the current war, Khamenei has now allegedly stated that if Israel and the U.S. resume bombing them again, that Iran has the right to develop their own nuclear weapons, which they claim they can do within two weeks. This was revealed in an interview yesterday with ex-CIA officer Larry Johnson and journalist Pepe Escobar, who were interviewed by American Pakistani Zulfiqar Ali, who cites sources within Pakistan claiming that this is an urgent message that needs to get out to the rest of the world.

The Battle for the Strait of Hormuz has Begun!

The conflict in the Persian Gulf erupted today, with both the U.S. and Iran claiming to have attacked each other's ships and boats. The U.S. claims it escorted some ships through the Strait today, which Iran denies. In other news today, Israel has reportedly seized 60% of Gaza and is planning on renewing their war there, and the UAE was attacked and is begging other Gulf Nations to help defend it which is highly unlikely since the UAE was the first Gulf nation to allow Israeli troops on its soil and withdraw from OPEC to appease the U.S. Also, China is ignoring U.S. sanctions for the first time by directing companies not to abide by US sanctions on five domestic refiners linked to the Iranian oil trade, California has received its last shipment of Persian Gulf oil and now has to come up with a way to replace 200,000 barrels of oil a day that will no longer be arriving from there, and a small group of Senate Republicans are reportedly working behind the scenes on an authorization of military force for Iran that they can move on if President Donald Trump wants to start bombing them again.

Trump’s Failures in Iran have now Led to the U.S. Trying to Bail Out the (Formerly) Rich Arab Gulf States and the U.S. Airline Industry

While the U.S. economy has not crashed (yet) due to Trump's complete failure to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, it is collapsing the economies of the (formerly) rich Gulf States, who are now begging Trump's administration to bail them out. Just a reminder, Dubai was the richest and most modern city in the world prior to the Iran war, as it was built as the playground for the Epstein billionaires. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent testified on Capitol Hill today that the U.S. was planning on bailing out the UAE, along with other countries in the Gulf and around Asia, due to rising fuel costs from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. These bailouts would come out of the U.S. Treasury. The Trump administration is also apparently going to try and bail out the U.S. airline industry, if not take it over completely, due to the rapid increase in jet fuel.

Netanyahu and Zionism is Pushing the World Towards Economic Catastrophe

As has often been the case since the Iran War has started, the U.S. corporate media, whether "left" leaning or "right" leaning, is reporting news on this war that is far different from what is being reported outside of the U.S. media. So here are two very recent interviews that are both only about 30 minutes long, giving the "other side" of what actually happened this past weekend with the negotiations in Islamabad, which were "led" by JD Vance, as well as views on the alleged current "blockade" of the Strait of Hormuz by the U.S. military. The Wall Street Journal had actually published a story stating that the U.S. was going to assassinate the delegation from Iran, which forced them to return to Iran in secret after the meetings ended. Professor Seyed Marandia, who lives and teaches in Tehran and is a U.S. citizen, was actually at the negotiations, and at the time of this writing this is his most recent interview with Glenn Diesen. He states that the Iranians fully expect a resumption of attacks by Israel and the U.S., and that they are preparing for it. He stated "Netanyahu and Zionism is pushing the world towards economic catastrophe," and he also stated that if they attack Iran's energy infrastructure again, they will start attacking the infrastructure of the rich Arab Gulf States, starting with the UAE, which he states that they can completely destroy in 1 day. In the second interview between Pepe Escobar and Judge Napolitano, Escobar states that the Iranians will NOT return to Islamabad for the second round of "negotiations," but will only agree to a place in either Russia or China. Russian diplomat Sergey Lavrov is in Beijing today, allegedly assuring China that Russia will continue supplying oil to China if they cannot get it through the Strait of Hormuz. Escobar also states that there is no actual blockade of the Strait of Hormuz at the present time.

The Entire World is Watching an Insane U.S. President Destroying the Global Financial Economy

After insulting millions of Catholics last year after posting an AI-generated image of himself as the Pope last May on Truth Social, Trump has again angered millions of Christians in the U.S. and around the world by posting an image of himself as Jesus yesterday on his Truth Social platform, which apparently has been since removed due to the outcry against him. And yet, many in the MAGA cult (who will now email me or try to comment on this article saying that I am a fool and know nothing because Trump is playing 5D chess to save the world) continue to defend the pedophile and Epstein associate President Trump even when he commits blasphemy by portraying himself as Jesus. Meanwhile, while the Trump Administration failed at reaching an agreement with Iran to open back up the Strait of Hormuz, Trump has now gone from boasting about how the U.S. military was going to take over and open up the Strait of Hormuz to suddenly stating that they were going to block any ships from going through at all. This will, of course, cause widespread price increases worldwide on gasoline and other petroleum products. If this sounds insane to you, you are not alone. Most of the rest of the world is clearly seeing on display from the White House an insane President now destroying the world economy.

The Petrodollar is Officially Collapsing as the Strait of Hormuz Remains Closed to U.S. and Israel in Spite of Alleged “Ceasefire”

The U.S. corporate news headlines for the past 24 hours has stated that there is a 2-week ceasefire agreement in place between Iran and the U.S. But as of the time of my writing this as the U.S. Stock Market closes on Wednesday, April 8th, the only ones who appear to be benefiting from this alleged "ceasefire" appear to be investors on Wall Street, as this "news" triggered a huge rally on Wall Street today. Prior to this, BOTH Iran and the U.S. were claiming to have "won" the war by gaining concessions for the "ceasefire." But this "news" quickly changed as things unfolded today, as Israel reportedly carried out their largest attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon since the Iran War started, which Iran claims violated the ceasefire agreement, while the Trump administration claimed that Lebanon was not part of the agreement. And while there was reportedly some kind of agreement in place to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, at the time of this writing, it is officially closed by Iran due to reporting by many sources, some of which track ships passing through the strait. However, in what may be in my opinion the most significant piece of news to be published in the past 24 hours, the U.S. corporate news is reporting, for the first time, that Saudi Arabia did, indeed, cancel the U.S. petrodollar agreement 2 years ago, as we published here on Health Impact News at the time, as well as a few other sources in the alternative media. I knew this was very significant back then, because several "trolls" tried to comment on that article to debunk it, and some tried to contact me directly, stating that this was "false news", as all the "fact-checking" sites also tried to debunk it. Fast forward to today, as we are over 1 month now into the Iran War and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, and now all of a sudden permission has apparently been granted to the corporate media to cover this event from 2024. An article that Fortune published last night had this headline: "2 years ago, Saudi Arabia quietly canceled the ‘petrodollar’ deal with America that wired the world economy for 50 years. Then war broke out in Iran." This admission by the corporate media in the U.S. that the petrodollar is collapsing in favor of the petroyuan, speaks volumes about what the billionaires who run this country now believe in regards to the collapse of the dollar, far more than the political rhetoric about the Iran War. They seem to be admitting defeat, and that the U.S. can no longer control the flow of the world's oil.

Defying Death Threats, Permanent Representative of UN Quits to Leak Information about Plans to Bomb Iran with Nukes

The strongest evidence yet that the Iran war may be ended by launching nuclear weapons into the country by Israel and the United States was produced by a permanent member of the UN and Executive Director of the Patriotic Vision Organization for the past 12 years, Mohamad Safa, who resigned from his position on Friday, so that he could leak information about an alleged UN plan to launch nuclear weapons into Iran. Mohamad is continuing to speak out on social media, and has stated that he and his family have received death threats, and that he gave up his career to leak this information.
