Trump's Risky Bet - American Attacks On Iran Raise Risk Of Global Conflict

 

American cities are on high alert after US Air Force long range bombers, acting on orders from President Trump carried out airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend, declaring the operation a "spectacular military success" while warning Iran to negotiate peace with Israel. 

Meanwhile financial markets in the west had a bad case of squeaky bottom syndrom as Iran stepped up its threat to blockade The Strait of Hormuz, through which around 25% of the world's crude oil passes. Such action would cause economic chaos to the global economy. To underline its threat the Iranian government jammed GPS signalling around the strait, disrupting the movementof tankers in and out of the Persian Gulf. In terms of Iran's ability to wage asymmetric war, stopping tanker traffic through Hormuz is the doomsday weapon.

Only hours after news of Trump's strike on Iranian nuclear facilities was reported, the NYPD issued a statement confirming additional patrols at "religious, cultural, and diplomatic sites" across New York City. The department stopped short of confirming any direct threats but obviously fears that Iran has terrorist operatives embedded in the city. Similarly, Washington D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department pledged to "safeguard residents, businesses, and visitors" while monitoring intelligence.It would be naive to pretent that after the Biden era of 'open borders' Iran and other enemies of the USA hae not infiltrated American cities had made plans to damage infrastructure and disruput daily life.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass echoed the cautious stance, stating that while no "credible threats" had been identified, the LAPD was stepping up patrols near places of worship and "sensitive sites." Miami-Dade County also joined the security surge, with sheriff’s deputies increasing visibility countywide.

Former NYPD Inspector Paul Mauro, who specialized in counterterrorism, warned that authorities would focus on locations tied to the conflict, including Shia mosques (Iran’s dominant sect) and Jewish community centers. "You never know what’s going to develop," Mauro said, noting that police would also ramp up cyber surveillance to track online threats. 

The Kremlin has announced Monday that Russia stands ready to help Iran in its ongoing conflict with Israel and the United States in the Middle East, based on specific requests.

Such assistance "all depends on what Iran needs," presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov explained, as quoted in TASS. "We have offered our mediation efforts. This is concrete. We have stated our position, which is also a very important form of support for the Iranian side."

"Going forward, everything will depend on what Iran needs at this moment," Peskov continued, while Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is currently in Moscow, preparing to meet with President Vladimir Putin.

Aljazeera reports today that Russia and China have strongly condemned US attacks on Iranian nuclear sites, warning they could drag the world into a broader war and set a dangerous international precedent. 

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday described the American strikes as “unjustified” and said they were pushing the world towards a perilous tipping point.  Putin today described the American strikes as “unjustified” and said they were pushing the world towards a perilous tipping point.

The Chinese government also weighed in, with Foreign Minister Wang Yi condemning both the Israeli strikes on Iran and the US bombardment of its nuclear facilities. He said the rationale of attacking over “possible future threats” sent the wrong signal to the world and urged a return to diplomacy.

While the usual suspects in Washington and among the NATO nations were declaring victory and calling for regime change in Tehran, regardless of the fact that Iran is far from defeated, not all voices in the west were praising Trump's unofficial declaation of war. 

Quoted from CSW "The U.S. does not seek to defend democracy abroad—it seeks compliance. If democracy produces outcomes favourable to American interests, it is tolerated. But the moment a sovereign electorate chooses a path that diverges from Washington’s preferences, the very same institutions that Americans claim to hold sacred—elections, parliaments, constitutions—are treated as disposable obstacles to geopolitical control. 

The 1953 Iranian coup remains one of the clearest illustrations of this duplicity. Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh was not a radical; he was a secular reformist, democratically elected, and widely popular for his anti-colonial stance. His primary offence was attempting to nationalise Iran’s oil industry—daring to assert that Iranians, not British or American corporations, should benefit from Iranian resources. 

In response, the CIA and MI6 orchestrated a covert operation—Operation Ajax—to topple his government, bribe press and clergy, and install a dictator. The Shah, restored to power, ruled with brutal repression for decades. The democratic parliament was neutered. Political opponents were tortured or disappeared by SAVAK, the Shah’s secret police—trained and funded by the United States. 

The coup did not merely interrupt Iran’s experiment with democracy; it annihilated it. The Islamic Revolution of 1979, which replaced monarchy with theocratic rule, was not some inexplicable lurch into extremism. It was a delayed consequence of betrayal. 

When a population watches a superpower destroy its democratic institutions for oil profits, the backlash does not arrive with ballots—it arrives with rage. ".-

Root cause? the USA is the problem.

Iran Bombing: Trump Says US Not Seeking To Start A War

The assassination of a popular Iranian general in Baghdad could turn out to be the game-changer in the midle east after years of increasing tensions between between the deep state in Washington and the Ayatollahs in Tehran. Until now, mainly due to the looming presence of Iran's allies Russia and China hostilities have been confined to the proxy war, occasional terrorist outrages such as the attacks on shipping in the gulf and a lot of over the top rhetoric.

The Trump administration has however escalated the situation with with Iran to what is perhaps a point of no return on Friday by ordering a targeted air strike on a convoy leaving Baghdad airport, ostensibly a response to what The White House claims was an organised attack on the US embassy in Iraq by armed militiamen, but looked far more like a planned assassination of Qassem Soleimani, the commander of Iran’s Quds Force.

(No linked sources here sorry, the information is all from TV news bulletins or internet news feeds not available to non subscribed users - editor)

The Iranian general and some say 2nd most powerful man in the country was blown up along with 11 other people, including a senior commander of an Iraqi militia backed by Tehran, when their motorcade was hit by US guided missiles.

All day world media have speculated about how and when the inevitable Iranian revenge attack would happen. The government in Tehran must respond to the assassination of Soleimani or lose face internationally. Unconfirmed reports tell us Iranian missiles have hit Ain Al-Assad the largest US military base in Iraq. IRGC Telegram news channel reports 'massive explosions' at the installation. Bear in mind this is an Iranian domestic news source so information from it should be treated with scepticism until conformed by more reliable agencies.

President Trump on Friday said that America does not seek "regime change" in Iran, and that the United States "took action last night to stop a war" by killing Iran's #2 commander, Qasem Soleimani, on Thursday.

A similar report came from reporter Sina Toossi who notes that an Iraqi Twitter has posted a picture of the alleged missile attack on al-Ain base, and notes that Iranian outlet Mehr has also reported massive explosions at the Ain al-Assad military base in Iraq’s Anbar province, the largest US military base in the country.

Speaking from Mar-a-Lago one day after the strike, President Trump said that Soleimani "made the death of innocent people his sick passion."

"We caught him in the act and terminated him," said Trump, adding that The US is "ready and prepared to take whatever action is necessary."

"We took action last night to stop a war."

Italy Dragged Into US Led Military Campain In Libya

As if the unfortunate people had not, over the years since 2011, suffered enough at the hands of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton (who was the architect of the bombing campaign that led to the overthrow of President Muammar (Mad Dog) Gadaffi and the subsequent transformation of Libya for Africa's most prosperous and economically advanced nation to a chaotic failed state with three feuding governments), the Obama administration recently kicked off another military campaign in Libya, this time against ISIS, which thanks to the Obama administration's previous ill - advised intervention had made Libya the centre of its African operations.

However, not all the "coalition of the willing" are quite as willing as they were last time round.

 Last week, Italian Defense Minister Roberta Pinotti confirmed that Rome was willing to allow the USA to use Italian military facilities, in particular the air base at Sigonella in Scicily to support US airstrikes against Daesh in Libya. "The government is ready to positively evaluate the issue of the use of Italian bases and airspace," Pinotti said, addressing the lower house of the Italian parliament on Wednesday.

Asked to comment on the decision, Mirko Molteni, a military journalist for Analisi Difesa magazine and the Milan-based daily newspaper Libero, told Sputnik Italia that it would undoubtedly increase the danger of terrorist attacks against Italy.

Molteni also observed that the decision to participate has put the country close to a state of war. "The problem is that Daesh has already threatened attacks on Italian territory for some time, especially against Rome, the capital of the Catholic world. The fact that Italy is making its bases available to the coalition greatly increases the threat of such attacks."

The analyst warned "this may permanently destroy the illusion that Italy is safe from the terrorists."

 At the same time, Molteni noted that unfortunately, the Italian government really does not have much of a say in the US-led initiative, "Its tendency to blindly follow the great powers has become a typical trend in recent decades. Even in 2011, the Berlusconi government failed to oppose the airstrikes against the Gaddafi government initiated by French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Italy was made to tag along with Paris and Washington in this historical mistake which created the current instability in Libya."

 Unfortunately,  Italy's political and military servility toward the United States is rooted in nearly 70 years of history, which followed Italy's entry into the NATO alliance, Molineti added.

Obama Launching Massive Military Intervention In Libya And Iraq

US military personnel deploy in Libya

We were told back in 2008 that Barack Hussein Obama would become president and would be the peacemaker and joybringer would lead the would to a golden age of harmony and prosperity. That's not quite how it turned out of course, the foreign policy disasters, economic incompetence and social divisiveness have made him undisputed holder of the Worst President Ever title.

Back in 2008 some of us tried to warn you he was a neo con puppet (those who can search the dark web with immunity - and no, it's not all goat porn, for example I found Obama was backed by really nasty neo con world domination freaks). But you ignored our wise words and now, outside its own borders The USA is almost universally hated and universally mistrusted, the superpower that supports terrorists and stabs its allies in the back.

With a year of his presidency still to run it seems Obama has not had his fill of death and misery and fancies killiing a few million more third world peasants as Information Clearing House reports:

Almost five years after the United States and its NATO allies launched a campaign in Libya to overthrow Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, the United States is on the verge of massively escalating its military operations in the war-torn country. According to the New York Times, the new effort is “expected to include airstrikes and raids by elite American troops.” It is unclear how long this newest effort will last.

The announcement comes on the heels of U.S. Secretary of Defense Ash Carter announcing combat troops were going back to Iraq last week. While U.S special forces have been conducting “clandestine reconnaissance missions in Libya to identify militant leaders and map out their networks” over the past year, the New York Times report marks the first time overt combat troops will be deployed in the North African nation.

The 2011 campaign was itself something of a bait and switch. What was originally sold as simply a no-fly zone quickly became regime change. A few weeks after the UN-sanctioned bombing of Libya’s infrastructure and air capacity, the scope of the campaign pivoted when President Obama, along with Presidents Sarkozy and Cameron of France and the UK respectively, announced the entirely new objective: NATO airstrikes, in concert with ongoing CIA support of rebels, to overthrow the Qaddafi government.

After this was quickly achieved, the pundit classes rallied to congratulate a job well done. As Glenn Greenwald at The Intercept noted Wednesday:

War advocates such as Anne-Marie Slaughter and Nicholas Kristof were writing columns celebrating their prescience and mocking war opponents as discredited, and the New York Times published a front-page article declaring: “U.S. Tactics in Libya May be a Model for Other Efforts.”

It was widely expected that Hillary Clinton, one of the leading advocates for and architects of the bombing campaign, would be regarded as a Foreign Policy Visionary for the grand Libya success: “We came, we saw, he died,” Clinton sociopathically boasted about the mob rape and murder of Qaddafi while guffawing on 60 Minutes.

Despite the fanfare at the “overthrow” of Qaddafi (who suffered a brutal death at the hands of a mob), not much has been made of the U.S. military’s slow escalation of its involvement in Libya over the past year. This time the objective, much like in Iraq after the U.S. deposed its leader, is destroying the presence of ISIS, a process that could take, in the words of former Defense Secretary Panetta, “thirty years.” And it's an escalation that has largely gone under the public's radar.
