💣 War for Profit, Control, and Power: The Iran Conflict Isn’t About Safety—It’s About Assets
When you follow the bombs, follow the money. And follow the people who profit from chaos.
The Gist
This isn’t just a foreign policy move—it’s a map of power, profit, and authoritarian intent. When we connect the dots between Trump’s decision to strike Iran, the financial ties of his inner circle, and the domestic control plan laid out in Project 2025, a dangerous picture comes into focus: a war that benefits the few, while silencing, surveilling, and stripping the rights of the many.
🔗 Dot #1: The Inner Circle’s Financial Footprint
Let’s start where the money is. Trump, Kushner, and Musk all have deep financial stakes in the very region being destabilized by the conflict with Iran. And those connections aren’t vague—they’re specific, profitable, and disturbingly relevant.
🏗️ Jared Kushner’s $2 Billion Ties
Runs Affinity Partners, funded by Saudi money.
Major holdings in Israeli firms (Phoenix Holdings, Shlomo Holdings), now directly affected by war with Iran.
$150M invested in Dubai’s tech sector.
🏌️ Trump Organization Projects
Golf courses and resorts in Dubai, Doha (Qatar), Muscat (Oman).
Expanding brand licensing and real estate footprint in Saudi Arabia, one of Iran’s biggest enemies.
🚀 Elon Musk’s Profitable Silence
Saudi investors hold stakes in xAI and Twitter/X.
Neuralink clinical trials in Abu Dhabi.
Tesla deals with Saudi and UAE partners.
Starlink, SpaceX, and Boring Co. deeply embedded in the Gulf region, all reliant on good standing with authoritarian regimes.
These aren’t coincidences. These are dots on a profit map—and the Iran strike lights up the whole grid.
🔗 Dot #2: Trump’s Psychology + Project 2025 = Domestic Seizure of Power
Now connect the next dot: personality meets opportunity. Trump isn’t a strategist—he’s a strongman in waiting, and this war provides the crisis he needs to activate Project 2025.
He’s vindictive, impulsive, and craves control.
Project 2025 provides the blueprint to purge federal workers, target dissent, and centralize power.
War provides the pretext: “We can’t afford disloyalty during a national emergency.”
How the Iran war enables Project 2025:
Schedule F purge
“We need loyal patriots in government during wartime.”
Crackdown on immigrants
“Iranian terror threats.”
Surveillance expansion
“National security over privacy.”
Election delays or federal oversight
“We can’t risk foreign influence in wartime elections.”
The dots connect neatly—a foreign crisis feeding a domestic power grab.
🔗 Dot #3: Putin Doesn’t Have to Interfere—He Benefits Just by Watching
The next dot may be offshore, but it casts a long shadow over U.S. policy.
A distracted, war-torn U.S. helps Russia regain control in Ukraine.
Higher global oil prices benefit Russia’s economy.
A weakened NATO and isolated America is exactly what Putin wants.
Trump has repeatedly:
Praised Putin
Parroted Russian propaganda
Undermined Ukrainian aid and NATO unity
It’s not just alignment—it’s advantage by design. And the Iran war delivers it.

🔗 The Picture That Emerges
Put all the dots together and the image becomes chillingly clear:
Foreign policy used not for peace, but for personal leverage
A war that conveniently creates the crisis needed to dismantle democracy at home
A domestic agenda that turns fear into fascism, dressed up as patriotism
This isn’t strategy—it’s opportunism. And it’s working.
✊ What We Can Do
We don’t have to accept this picture as fate. But we do need to name it clearly and fight it collectively:
Demand full financial transparency for Trump, Kushner, and Musk’s Middle East holdings
Call on Congress to invoke the War Powers Resolution and limit Trump’s unilateral authority
Expose how Project 2025 leverages crises to destroy checks and balances
Build coalitions between veterans, civil servants, human rights defenders, and journalists—because all of us are in the crosshairs
