With ten minutes left to spare,
someone prevailed on an amoral Donald Trump to call off the planned U.S.
military attack on Iran. Trump later claimed that he did not want the deaths of
150 Iranians, the number estimated by the Pentagon who would have been killed
in the pre-dawn attack, on his conscience. However, Trump has no conscience, so
there must have been another reason.
It is well known that Trump only
accepts counsel from his adviser and daughter, Ivanka Trump. Although it would
take an army of Sigmund Freuds to figure out the odd father-daughter
relationship between Trump and his daughter, one thing that may have caused
Trump to change his mind about military aggression against Iran is the sizeable
assets that Trump, his daughter, and the Trump Organization have in Middle East
countries subject to Iranian retaliatory strikes.
It is a matter of Iranian
military doctrine that in any military conflict with the United States, Saudi
Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Israel the only nations making
up Trump's current anti-Iran "coalition Iran will activate its sleeper
cells in the region to militarily target key U.S. and other interests. Since
Trump became president, the Iranians added a few symbolic targets to their
strike list, including the Trump World Golf Club and the Trump International
Golf Club in Dubai, the latter co-located with the Trump Estates at DAMAC Hills
in Al Hebiah, the Third District.
Located in the luxurious Akoya
Oxygen development, the Trump World golf course was designed by Trump business
partner Tiger Woods.
Dubai has a large Iranian community and the Iranian sleeper cells have
managed to securely integrate themselves into it.
Trump's Dubai partner, Hussain Sajwani, the chairman and founder of
Dubai's DAMAC Properties, is also a likely target for Iranian sleeper cells and
paramilitary units of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) due to the
billionaire developer's ties to Trump. The IRGC stands ready to insert
paramilitary units into the UAE and Saudi Arabia to carry out sabotage missions
behind enemy lines. It is noteworthy that DAMAC Properties' portfolio includes
high-rise residential and commercial buildings and hotels in Dubai; London;
Muscat; Lusail City, Qatar; Amman; Riyadh; and Beirut.

Trump's product line of jewelry, clothing, shoes, handbags, perfumes, and other
products is carried in several shopping malls, duty free stores, and hotel
lobby shops in Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Manama, Kuwait, Riyadh, Jeddah,
and other locations, courtesy of her business relationship with the Al-Sari
family of Sharjah. The Al-Saris are invested in Gulf region real estate,
entertainment, hotel, diamond, and other ventures. A war between the Gulf
states and Iran would all but close down regular commerce throughout the
Persian Gulf region and that would affect sales of Ms. Trump's products and her
financial bottom line.
The IRGC and
Iranian intelligence also has the ability to hit Trump assets far beyond the
Persian Gulf region, including those in Azerbaijan, Israel, Brazil, India,
Indonesia, the Philippines, Turkey, and Uruguay.
It would be
in keeping with Trump's past tendency to put his private business interests
ahead of all else that he canceled or, at least, postponed his war with Iran to
protect his financial rear end.
