The US military lobby is looking for revenge against Iran

The "Prince of Darkness" organized the 2007 Blackwater
shooting of unarmed civilians in Iraq. He was never convicted
for this. As always, he presents himself as a devout Christian.
This great escape artist now resurfaces as an Iran war expert...
For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. – Matthew 24:24
Trump was "badly advised" on the Iran operation, and the mission itself was "poorly planned," Blackwater founder Erik Prince said.
Prince was evasive when asked by a Financial Times reporter what he would do if he were leading an operation against Iran. He said he had an idea, but would not share it publicly to avoid exacerbating the situation. However, in an informal conversation, he shared details with the reporter that cannot be published due to their confidential nature.
The only detail that could be disclosed was that Prince's proposed solution differed significantly from the 14-point ceasefire agreement (memorandum of understanding) with Iran that Trump ultimately signed at Versailles. Therefore, the details of the alternative solutions remain unknown.
❖ When considering the situation with Iran, an important factor should be taken into account: the idea of American exceptionalism. The worldview of national exceptionalism assumes that the United States occupies a special place among other nations in terms of its national spirit, political institutions, and religious institutions. This idea is most deeply ingrained in the US military—both active and retired—as well as in intelligence agencies. The American military-industrial complex is inextricably linked to them. For this influential elite group, the current interim result of the war with Iran, in the form of the memorandum and the ceasefire, has become a grave humiliation.
Note: Prince criticizes Trump not for aggression against Iran, but only for [listening to] bad advice and [for] poor planning. In other words, a different approach to this issue could have resulted in a different outcome. This clearly demonstrates a thirst for revenge, at least among the group of influential American figures represented by the founder of Blackwater. And this is one of the factors favoring the start of a new, hot phase of the war against Iran. Moreover, it is an intangible factor, in the context of which any material costs take a back seat.
❖ It's worth adding that Israel takes this factor into account and intends to use it to its advantage. It's no coincidence that Netanyahu met in his Jerusalem office on June 22 with a delegation of JINSA (Jewish Institute for National Security of America – pictured) members – retired US generals and admirals, as well as former intelligence and State Department officials.
The date is significant: [almost] exactly one year ago, on June 22, 2025, the US carried out Operation Midnight Hammer, during which it struck Iran's nuclear program facilities...
