Larry Johnson: War Still Looms — Breaking Down Trump’s Iran Move
by Counter Currents [4-24-2026] Larry C. Johnson(bio).
(RAD: This short video by Larry Johnson is less than 18 minutes, yet it is packed full of important insights about Iran's firm position based upon winning while holding all of the cards. The US position is very chaotic & dangerous for the entire world. The US holds no cards & has no way of winning. Trump has even explored using nuclear weapons on Iran, but fortunately the military has currently said 'no'. The best thing Trump could do would be to agree to Iran's 10-demands & remove all US military presence from the Persian Gulf. This is unlikely to happen, so we might be looking at a resumption of a hot war where Iran will go for a decisive kill immediately, which they have already made clear. To make matters worse, Trump is exhibiting definite signs of dementia that is interfering with his judgement & ability to make proper decisions. — RAD)
Extend the ceasefire. Keep the blockade. Threaten new sanctions. Nothing about the U.S. approach to Iran adds up — and it may be pushing the situation toward a dangerous breaking point.
From failed negotiations to rising tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, former CIA analyst Larry Johnson explains why the conflict is far from over — and may be entering its most dangerous phase.
