Dissecting the official narrative and exploring deeper geopolitical and economic motives behind the U.S. and Israeli military strikes on Iran reveals a multi-faceted reality.
The attacks were neither spontaneous nor solely based on immediate security threats, but rather the culmination of a 30-year-long strategic plan involving multiple powerful interest groups.
Understanding the global control grid: So, what were the reasons for the attack on Iran now? To weaken China has become a vital part of the “America First” slogan. Oil prices could soar high to $200 per barrel. The Chinese economy won’t be able to withstand that. The European Union will not withstand it either. So by striking Iran, America weakens both the EU and China. This also benefits the dollar as world reserve currency.
Note that Iran’s central bank is not part of the Western financial system. It sits outside this control grid. This makes Iran a strategic target. This has been public knowledge ever since the leaked neo-con Pentagon memo made it clear that the U.S. goal was to take down “7 nations in 5 years”, the last one Iran, as notoriously reiterated by U.S. four star general Wesley Clark.
Just like Syria, Libya, Iraq and other nations in history were not a part of the Western controlled control grid until these nations were “regime-changed” in recent years, Iran now seems to fall into the same pattern.
The world wide implementation of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs – a fully digital form of central bank money with programmable features enabling direct control over transactions) and stable coins may see corporations issuing their own programmable money soon. The war may also be seen in light of Iran’s exclusion from this system. Allegedly the U.S. will then be able to dump their entire debt burden on the rest of the world. The U.S. will redistribute the debt throughout the world using stable coins and CBDCs by giving the powers of the banking system to the corporations,” says finance and geopolitical commentator, Andre Jikh.
To weaken China is a vital part of achieving “America First”
Understanding the global control grid: President Trump has long proclaimed as a number one goal for to destabilize the rise of China’s economy. This is what I point out in my book, Trump, The Battle for America 2025 Edition: With his “America First” slogan, he has launched a significant offensive against the globalist billionaire empire that has profited from the outsourcing of jobs and wealth to China for decades.
The billionaire elite has benefitted enormously from the lack of redistribution of wealth when jobs and opportunities were outsourced to China and low-cost countries in the late 1980s onward. Western globalism protects the Western billionaire class and elite interests, at the expense of the Western population.
Noteworthy, President Trump seeks to diminish precisely the globalist structures of liberal democracy, open borders and lack of national sovereignty that have led to the rise of the billionaire class. His aim is to reindustrialize America, attract innovation and investments, bring back traditional Western values and a healthy capitalism that does not only benefit the rich.

To weaken China therefore becomes a vital part of the “America First” slogan. The way to disrupt China’s economy and get leverage is, for example, cutting China off the cheap oil they were getting from Venezuela and the cheap silver they were getting from Latin America and now the cheap oil they were getting from Iran, explains finance and geopolitical commentator, Andre Jikh.
This also explains the war on Venezuela, and has to do with weakening China’s economy by cutting off cheap oil from Iran and Venezuela, leveraging control over critical oil routes like the Strait of Hormuz.
Understanding the global control grid: This strait is very narrow, between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula. A quarter of the world’s supply of oil passes through this tiny little point. And as of right now, it’s shut down. Traffic has dropped 70%. There’s over 150 ships just sitting there waiting. And insurance companies have suspended their coverage, which is basically a financial kill switch. And analysts are saying if this close lasts more than a couple weeks, we could see $100 or higher for a barrel of oil.
War is good business for the financial, industrial-military complex
Understanding the global control grid: The war on Iran is so far a strategic win because it makes China more dependent on US oil. And if the US can control the supplies of oil around the world, that is leverage, comments Jikh. US oil companies will also benefit. Exon Mobile, Chevron, Conoco Phillips. Their costs will stay the same, but the price of what they’re selling is going up. Every dollar increase in crude oil translates to higher profit margins for them, aka those companies make more money.
This also benefits the dollar because oil is still priced in dollars. When oil prices go up, global demand for dollars goes up with it. By strengthening the U.S. position as a fossil fuel energy dominator, this is viewed as a path to saving the global hegemon dollar system.
The idea would be that if Iran is struck, oil prices may soar high to $200 per barrel. The Chinese economy won’t be able to withstand that. The European Union will not withstand it either. So by striking Iran, America weakens both the EU and China. So higher oil prices and flow controls benefits the dollar, the US corporations and hurts adversaries like China and the European Union and that was planned a long time ago.
In addition, military and financial elites with vested interests profit from war and rising oil prices. Trump’s top donors include pro-Israel donors, oil and energy magnates, defense contractors, and tech companies with Pentagon contracts (Elon Musk, Timothy Mellon, Miriam Adelson, etc.). War as a live demonstration of advanced U.S. military technology to boost future sales. Military-industrial companies gain from live demonstrations of advanced weaponry.
Iran war as part of broader plan to establish a global financial control grid
Understanding the global control grid: The war on Iran also serves the wishes of the neo-con power block in American foreign policy, namely the industrial-military complex. The historical Pentagon memo named Iran as the last of seven countries targeted for regime change underscores a long-term U.S. geopolitical strategy.
Many remember U.S. four star general Wesley Clark, hero from the Balkan wars, who famously spoke about his shock when discovering that taking down nations was the neo-con plan at the Pentagon both prior and post 9/11. The Pentagon plan, he was told, was to topple the government of seven nations in five years, in the wake of Russian weakness post the fall of the Soviet Union: Iraq, Libya, Lebanon, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran.
This happened after 9/11, Clark was told that the USA would attack these nations, “destroy these countries and remove their rulers.” Wesley described this as a political coup, a dramatic change in USA’s foreign policy. Neoconservatives such as Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz steered the wheel at the time.
The Iran war may also be viewed as a part of a broader plan to establish a global financial control grid based on programmable money, digital IDs, and physical infrastructure, comments Jikh.
The use of AI, such as Anthropic’s Claude to plan strikes, political fallout over AI military use and Iran’s retaliation targeting commercial cloud data centers (AWS) marks the start of “technofeudal wars.” The U.S. government’s contrasting treatment of AI companies as seen in Anthropic vs. OpenAI reflects a strategic alignment between tech firms and military interests.
Understanding the global control grid: Investment banker, Katherine Austin Fitts’ theory on programmable money, digital identity, and infrastructure forming a control grid may be viewed in the perspective of Iran’s exclusion from this system. She was the assistant secretary of housing under George H. W. Bush. She managed hundreds of billions of dollars in government money. She ran a Wall Street investment bank. And she has a theory that connects all of these wars into one grand theory.
Fitts delves into the dangers of central bank digital currencies in a quite recent lecture at Hillsdale College. The ability of digital currencies to be programmed with rules controlling how money is spent marks a distinct shift of a centralized New World Order that will control personal behaviour in a way never seen before. This makes Iran a strategic target. Iran’s central bank is not part of the Western financial system. It sits outside this control grid. Just like Syria, Libya, Iraq and other nations in history were not a part of the Western controlled control grid until these nations were “regime-changed” in recent years, Iran now seems to fall into the same pattern.
This includes a global system integrating programmable money, biometric digital IDs, and physical infrastructure such as data centers and satellites to control financial transactions and identities remotely.
It also involves currency embedded with rules controlling how, when, and where it can be spent, potentially linked to digital identities. In addition, biometric and cryptographic digital IDs connected to money and infrastructure, enabling precise control over individuals’ financial activities. The targeting of commercial cloud infrastructure marks a new era where digital assets are considered legitimate military targets.
Conflicts involving physical attacks on digital infrastructure combined with AI-planned military operations, signifying the convergence of digital and physical domains in warfare. The digital control grid and programmable money frameworks could reshape global finance, with private stablecoins and tokenized assets playing major roles, as supported by recent legislative efforts such as the Genius Act and Clarity Act. The Genius Act creates a legal framework for stable coins, and the Clarity Act creates a framework for tokenizing financial assets.
You don’t need a government issued central bank digital currency if private stablecoins will do the exact same. This is also exactly what Larry Fink, the CEO of BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, has been saying for years, even at the most recent World Economic Forum. He believes that the next step will be the tokenization of financial assets. Fink wants to tokenize every financial asset in the world as fast as possible.
“This means that in the very near future, we’re going to see corporations issuing their own programmable money. Allegedly the U.S. will dump the entire debt burden on the rest of the world. The U.S. will not be paying anything back. It will just redistribute the debt throughout the world using these stable coins and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) by giving the powers of the banking system to the corporations. Right? This is the legacy of the dollar,” says finance and geopolitical commentator, Andre Jikh.
