Israel and Iran War – the World’s Escape from Armageddon

So, yes, finally, at long last, Israel and Iran are at war. Long overdue that a nation on the right side of history would take the initiative to put an end to the world’s greatest exporter of terrorism. I thought it would be the U.S. that would do it, but, as it turned out, it was Israel – kudos to them. As a matter of fact, should Israel be able to get rid of Hamas in Gaza and get rid of the Ayatollahs in Iran, the world would be forever indebted to them, would they not?

I must preface my narrative today by clarifying that, most Iranians, approximately 52% of them disapprove of their current leadership. Anyways, to be clear, Iran’s leaders have publicly and openly expressed their intentions to eradicate Israel from the face of the earth, and they have also expressed their hatred for the United States and all it stands for. Based on both these premises alone and the fact that they are as close as ever to having a nuclear weapon are good enough, legitimate reasons to take down the Iranian regime.

Ironically, Iran maintained amicable relations with both Israel and the U.S. before the Iranian Revolution of 1979 that ensued the establishment of the Islamic Republic under Ayatollah Khomeini and overthrew the Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi – the latter a close ally of the U.S. As expected, both Communist China and Russia soon thereafter became close allies of the Islamic Republic administration in Iran.

As far as the U.S. was concerned, relations with Iran further deteriorated in 1979 when Iranian militants seized 52 Americans at the U.S. embassy in Iran’s capital of Tehran. Tensions between the three countries, U.S., Israel, and Iran really began to get critical, however, in the early 2000’s as Iran’s ambitions to pursue nuclear technology became obvious to the United States and Israel – both nations vehemently opposed to Iran’s objective considering the existential threat associated to Iran having nuclear power capabilities.

Throughout the years, there have been all kinds of conflicts that have involved the United States and Israel. Most conflicts, however, extended only into proxy battles across the Middle East, forming an axis of resistance involving other Middle East nations along the way. Principal actors in these conflicts were Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, Hamas in the Gaza Strip in Palestine and the Iraqi Shia Militias in Iraq, to mention a few.

None of these conflicts, however, escalating to a full-fledged war such as the one that has now started, relative exclusively to how close Iran is to having a nuclear weapon as measured by their progress in their uranium enrichment capabilities, enough material to produce a bomb in the very near future, all the while as they [Iran] keep telling the world that their nuclear program is all but a peaceful undertaking.

That brings me to the centerstage message of my narrative today. Ask yourself the question, how has Iran nearly developed a nuclear weapon capable of mass destruction? And the answer is, once again, courtesy of Barack Obama and democrats. Yes, blame it all on the Manchurian Candidate, on Barack Obama’s commitment to transform the United States; on Barack Obama and his Marxist coalition commitment to destroy the United States of America.

Let me try and make it brief and straight to the point if I may. In 2015, Barack Obama’s administration entered the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), aimed at ensuring Iran’s nuclear program remained peaceful, preventing the development of nuclear weapons. In exchange for Iran’s commitment to limiting its nuclear ambitions and allowing international inspections, Obama gave them significant sanctions relief. In fact, Obama gave them a little more than sanctions relief really. Obama, if you can believe it gave Iran $1.7 billion in cash uttering as a reason for such generosity, that it was a long overdue settlement of decades-old arbitration claim.

To be sure, Obama went as far as secretly arranging for a plane to deliver $400 million in cash as part of a deal to release four American prisoners announcing it was part of the Iran nuclear deal. The money was flown in wooden pallets, and it was the first installment of the $1.7 billion nuclear deal. In 2018, the Trump administration wasted no time in withdrawing from Obama’s shameful deal. If you think Iran did not use this money for nuclear development, you are being unrealistic. To think that anyone on his or her right mind could be a democrat is just incomprehensible.

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that this whole war thing has been strategically planned. I am very much inclined to believe that Trump and his counterpart Netanyahu, planned it all. Notably, over the past months, we have repeatedly heard Trump inviting Iran to negotiate a peaceful settlement, only condition exclusively for them to refrain from having a nuclear weapon. As far as I am concerned, Trump knew damn well that Iran would never accept such as deal, so he gave Netanyahu a heads-up to do the “dirty work” for us, and for them.

Meantime, if Israel can take care of business, Trump remains as a legitimate promoter of peace which is essential to the public opinion here in the U.S. Again, bottom line friends, I don’t care who does it, but, if in the end, the Ayatollahs are overthrown, that can only translate into a better world for the rest of us – matter of fact, I do not think that I am over-the-top in assuming that if Israel can overthrow, once and for all, the Ayatollah’s, this may very well be humanity’s only way to escape from a possible Armageddon. May God save us and may God save the United States of America.
