Iran war updates: Pezeshkian urges US public to question gov’t war motives
aje.news
These were the updates about the US-Israeli war on Iran on Wednesday, April 1, 2026.

The US president has “threatened to stop” supplying ⁠weapons for Ukraine to pressure European allies to join a “coalition of ‌the willing” to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the Financial Times reports, ⁠quoting people briefed ⁠on the discussions.

According to the report, ⁠Trump threatened ⁠to stop ⁠supplies to NATO’s weapons procurement initiative for ‌Ukraine, which is funded by European countries.

On Tuesday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Al Jazeera it was “very disappointing” that NATO allies such as Spain blocked the use of their airspace and bases for the US-Israel war on Iran. He warned that Washington will re-examine the value of NATO after the war is over.

    So let me see if I understand this whole situation:

    • Trump and Israel attack a Iran because… reasons…
    • Iran fires back and closes the Strait
    • Trump realizes that he is too weak and goes crying to Nato in hopes of hiding behind them
    • Nato refuses to help the cowardly Trump
    • Trump in a sulk cried about how Nato wouldn’t clean up his mess
    • Now Trump in a spoilt temper tantrum is declaring he won’t keep other promises unless Nato fights his battles for him because he’s too much of a wimp to do it himself.

    Do I have this right?

      No it’s

      • Trump and Netanyahu attack Iran because they are rabid fascists, worse than Hitler
      • Iran defends itself and closes the Strait
      • Trump doesn’t realize that he is too weak, but he notices that things aren’t going his way
      • His European vassals do realize that their master going mad after his illegal invasion to annex and genocide of Iran, consisting of ~20 times the population of the holocaust killed is a bit of a bad look, not because of the amount of people they try to kill, but because they see the US failing and Iran was their main supplier of oil and gas together with all the Middle Eastern nations that are blocked from exporting their oil and gas, while being at war with the previous other main supplier Russia, and tell themselves that it’s not “not their war”, so they refuse to help
      • Trump is mad at his European vassals, who now refuse to fully starve themselves to death for him or jump into molten hot lava to in order to cool a volcano, instead of the usual squirming that they do more often and far deeper for Usonians than the average worm does its entire life.
      • He now threatens his vassals that he’s going to “close the club” hoping his vassals will further squirm for him in panic and beg him to sacrifice their lives at the altar of the Usonian blood cult
