President Trump’s real goal in the Iran conflict is the takedown of the globalist agenda of central banks controlled by the British financial elite. The British colonial system has for decades given the Middle East the role as the battlefield of endless wars. This globalist, free trade system is now challenged by Donald Trump.
Bypassing NATO, the British and globalist European traditional actors, the two week ceasefire was remarkably enough mediated by Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. Trump posted Iran’s own official statement confirming the ceasefire and the opening of the strait on Truth Social.
The Iran conflict may be framed as a broader civilizational conflict between true “civilization” and the old “imperial system,” between President Trump’s focus on national sovereignty and the traditional values that brought civilization and order – versus the globalist billionaire elite system with its focus on borderless nations, endless wars, endless non-Western immigration and total propaganda control over the media.
At the center of the conflict is President Trump’s war on the British elites that have controlled the geopolitical game for decades. One of the elements now happening is that the Strait of Hormuz reopening will undercut British financial control in the region.
The City of London’s financial hegemony – the British empire’s financial weapon – has been dominating the West for decades. London’s historical dominance in maritime insurance and financial risk control is now being replaced by the U.S. Development Finance Corporation (DFC) working with U.S. Central Command. U.S. government agency is now underwriting maritime trade insurance in the Gulf, replacing Lloyd’s of London.
This shift undermines City of London’s 300-year-old control over global maritime trade insurance, signalling a structural economic transition of massive dimensions. United States secretary of the treasury, Scott Bessent recently described the shift, addressing the order that Trump gave in March, 2025: “Through maximum pressure campaign, the Treasury has worked to uncover all financial life lines to the regime and cut them off. The Iranian financial system collapsed in December. We have systematically weakened Iran’s possibility to fund and procure weapons, which required months of preparations. Threats to American national security has no place in the global economic system… the Development Financial Corporation, Maritime Reinsurance Program in conjunction with Central Command, will soon provide shippers through the Gulf region with a level of security we have never seen before.”
President Trump’s ceasefire with Iran represents a historic civilizational gamble, offering Iran a chance to break free from decades of imperial manipulation and conflict. The ceasefire is not a capitulation but a strategic move toward reconstruction and peace, directly challenging the established imperial order managed by NATO, Britain, and Europe.

Regional Muslim and Arab nations are beginning to act as partners for peace, a significant departure from their historical adversarial roles shaped by imperial divide-and-rule tactics.The “war party” backlash—including calls for congressional hearings and warnings referencing Libya’s fate—reveals deep resistance to this new peace initiative.
Vice President JD Vance’s frame this conflict as a moral and civilizational battle, defending Western Christian values and sovereignty against nihilism.
“This could be the golden age of the Middle East,” wrote Trump on Truth Social, focusing on the term “civilization”, which means a society choosing progress, cooperation, peace, and building a future based on shared values and development.
Scott Bessent also recently explained how the second front of the Iran war, beyond the military achievements: “Trump gave the order for Treasury to exert a maximum pressure campaign on Iran. I said it at a speech at the Economic Club of New York in March that I predicted that the currency would collapse, that we would see the economy would collapse, thanks to this maximum pressure.”
“We have been softening up the economy and preparing the ground for what our great warriors are doing right now. The Iranian economy was vulnerable. We cut off the dollar supply into Iran. All their oil is sanctioned. We have been able to keep many of the funds out of Iran. One of the largest banks collapsed in December. The Central Bank was forced to print a huge amount of money. Inflation ensued and people took to the streets. There was an economic crash in Iran in December and now we had the opening to go in.”
“Here’s what the neo-con endless war party wants you to think. They want you to think that Trump just let Iran off the hook. Netanyahu warned Trump against his ceasefire. Lindsey Graham is calling for congressional hearings. They are all wrong and the fact that they’re not happy is the proof. Iran chose civilization, a nation that the British empire condemned to a dark age now has a chance to join the forces of Middle Eastern peace. He gambled on “civilization” and won the first round.. what Vice President JD Vance said about civilization in Budapest and why he contrasted it to the nihilists” says geopolitical analyst Susan Kokinda at Promethean Action.
She further explains in remarkably honest terms how the British elite used the Middle East and how the colonialists lay the ground work for endless war: “This isn’t an enemy (Iran) being crushed. It’s a country beginning to choose civilization. To understand why that matters, you have to understand what the Middle East has actually been in the imperial great game.”
“The British Empire built it as a cockpit of war. They created the Muslim Brotherhood, the mother of Islamic extremism. They simultaneously cultivated revisionist Zionism. And then they played Arab against Jew, Sunni against Shia, nation against nation.”
“Iran was drawn into this architecture in 1953 when British and American intelligence overthrew (Prime Minister of Iran Mohammad) Mosaddegh. His crime was that he wanted to use Iran’s oil to develop the country. By the 1970s, the Shah had launched an aggressive program of industrialization and modernization. So, the empire reached for its oldest tool, religious extremism. The Mullas replaced the Shah, theocracy replaced development, and civilization reversed into dark age.”
“Donald Trump looked at that 47 year-old trap and made a bet. Not on Iran’s regime, on Iran’s people. He gambled on civilization. Now, let’s look at who’s not happy. Netanyahu warned Trump against the ceasefire before it happened.”
“Lindsey Graham invoked the Libya model. That’s not a model. It’s a warning. Surrender your weapons or uranium and see what happens. In Libya, eight years after they surrendered their weapons, a NATO backed mob murdered Gaddafi. That’s what the war party is offering Iran. Trump is offering something entirely different.”
Yet, the mainstream media is deliberately confusing the American people by the steady flow of disinformation designed to clutter the mind with news that are not correct. President Trump often corrects some of these statements on Truth Social.
This is what local American podcasters like talkative Tucker Carlson cannot understand, in his inability to comprehend how the international world works. Due to his naiveté and incompetence in the global field and thereby reliance on third party sources, he is easily lured into serving the globalist mainstream agenda.
Tucker Carlson has become the top Democrat tool to divide the MAGA movement in the hope of crushing President Trump’s “America First” agenda.
