Trump's former 'trusted operative' spills Iran story 'they're not telling you'

A man who was once Donald Trump's "trusted operative" spilled details he said you won't find on CNN or MSNBC.

Author and former Trump insider Lev Parnas, who has reported on Trump's purported "humiliation" by Russia's Putin, on Sunday wrote about his take on Trump's military strike on Iran's soil.

Parnas, who previously predicted Trump would indeed strike Iran, said over the weekend that media pundits are asking all the wrong questions.

In an article entitled While the Media Chases Trump’s Distractions, Here’s the Story They’re Not Telling You, Parnas discloses that he hasn't slept in two days.

"I’ve been on the phone nonstop, speaking to sources across the globe, gathering real-time intelligence—not recycled headlines, not speculation—real insight into what’s actually happening behind the scenes," he said, noting that "what the media isn’t reporting is even worse" than what journalists are currently disseminating.

"While CNN and MSNBC talk in circles about whether Trump has triggered a constitutional crisis by bypassing Congress—or fixate on whether this attack on Iran will spiral into retaliation—they’re playing right into his plan. They’re not asking the real question: Why now?" he asked. "They’re not talking about how this was always about oil, power, and control. About how this strike—this so-called 'surgical obliteration' of Iran’s nuclear facilities—wasn’t some last-minute military move, but a long-orchestrated step in a deal coordinated directly with Vladimir Putin."

According to Parnas, Trump has been wanting to strike Iran, but has been waiting on the OK from a certain foreign leader.

"Trump wanted to hit Iran. The only thing holding him back? Putin’s greenlight. That greenlight’s now been given—and look what’s already unfolding," Parnas wrote, adding that Trump's recent antics are merely distractions from all this.

He added, "Most of the pundits you see on TV have never even been in the same room as Donald Trump. They don’t know him. They don’t know how he talks, how he schemes, how he deals. But I do. I was there. I was his trusted operative, the one he sent to Ukraine to pressure Zelensky to dig up dirt on the Bidens."

"I know how he thinks. I know how he weaponizes chaos. And I know what he’s planning next," he then added. "That’s why I’m telling you now: What you’re seeing on the news? That’s the distraction. What I’m telling you here? That’s the real threat."
