PNN – The White House advisor warned in statements that the continuation of the war and the escalation of tensions in the region would lead to the “destruction of Israel.” These statements were widely echoed in a popular podcast in the United States.
Following the escalation of Iranian missile attacks on the occupied territories in punishment of the Zionist aggressors, David Sachs, Donald Trump’s advisor on artificial intelligence and crypto currencies, warned about the future of the Zionist regime in a podcast that received widespread coverage in the American and Israeli media.
Sachs said in the podcast that the true extent of the damage to the occupied territories has been hidden due to a “deliberate suppression” on social media, but that signs indicate that Israel is suffering “the heaviest blows in its history” and is in an unprecedented and dangerous situation. He stressed that continuing the war and escalating tensions will lead to Israel’s destruction.
This US government advisor predicted that the regime’s air defense systems may be worn out as the war continues, and even suggested that the Zionist regime may consider using nuclear weapons if it finds itself in a “deadlock with no way out,” an action that he said would be “catastrophic.”
Sachs also warned about the consequences of continued US attacks on Iranian infrastructure, which could result in Tehran’s retaliation, saying: This will have worse consequences. He said, referring to Saudi Arabia: Further attacks will depopulate the Persian Gulf region. This would be a truly catastrophic scenario.
In another episode of the podcast, Jason Calacanis, a renowned AI entrepreneur, described Israel as the “war instigator,” saying that “nobody but neoconservatives and Israelis and some anti-Iran groups wanted this war.” He also considered the continuation of the war to be the main reason for the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, saying that if Israel continues its actions, this vital passage will remain closed.
The joint military aggression by the United States and the Zionist regime against the Islamic Republic of Iran, which resulted in the martyrdom of Ayatollah Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, began in the early hours of February 28, 2026; this action took place while indirect negotiations between Iran and the United States were underway with the mediation of some regional countries.
Analysts believe that this action showed that the United States does not adhere to the principles of dialogue, trust-building, and peaceful resolution of disputes in practice, and continues to use the military option as a tool of political pressure.
Following the start of the joint military aggression by the United States and the Zionist regime, the Islamic Republic of Iran provided a decisive, targeted, and proportionate response to this action. As part of this legitimate response, the military and security positions of the Zionist regime in various cities of occupied Palestine, as well as the bases and centers where American forces are deployed in the region were targeted with precise missile, drone, and air strikes.
Officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran have emphasized that these operations were carried out within the framework of the inherent right of self-defense under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter and with the aim of deterrence, preventing the continuation of aggression and imposing costs on the aggressors. The Islamic Republic of Iran has warned that any continuation or expansion of aggression will be met with a more severe and extensive response.
