10 Reasons Israel's attack on Iranians may be Phase 1 of a worldwide war

Apr 12, 2018
Iranians in Diaspora , Politics , Kodoom Official Blog

News/Politics Blog, Kodoom.com Editorial:
There are 10 signs Monday's stealthy Israeli attack on a T-4 airbase in Syria which killed Iranian Special Forces may be Phase 1 of a global confrontation between an alliance of Trump, Bin Salman and Netanyahu against the Ayatollahs of Iran:

1- The Israeli attack and an impending US-led attack on Syria follow a mysterious provocative savage chemical attack on Syrian civilians. US and Russia blamed the attack on each others' proxies but the chemical attacks came shortly before Israel's attack on the Syrian airbase. Mysteriously, no Russians were reportedly hurt in the airstrike.

2- Last week, there were also reports of Israeli Air Force flying stealth missions over Lebanon and Iran's airspace to identify targets, nuclear and otherwise, if and when a war starts with Iran.

3- Today, thousands in Iran vowed revenge while mourning the death of at least six Revolutionary Guard Corps Special Forces killed in Syria during Israeli air strikes (pictured below). The advisor to Iranian Leader has also pledged revenge in his urgent trip to Syria.

4- Saudi Arabia claims they have intercepted more missiles fired by pro-Iranian Yemeni rebels towards Oil refineries and airports. The missile activity, a test of Saudi air defense system, could be another sign of an escalating Saudi-Israeli war with Iran.

5- In this not-so-secret war, Bin Salman and Trump are tirelessly recruiting allies. Bin Salman has signed lucrative contracts not only with China, Japan and Malaysia, but also with France and UK to buy their allegiance and participation in the scrimmage against Iran.

Trump has also been courting European and Arab leaders and even entering surprising peace talks with North Koreans to loosen their economic and military ties to Iran, perhaps simultaneously with Trump's cancellation of Iran Nuclear Deal in May. Even the tariff wars with China could be seen as Trump's bargaining tactic to pressure China into siding with the Saudi, Israel, US alliance against Iran.

Netanyahu has also been recruiting allies in their imminent war against Iran by visiting some of Iran's major economic partners such as India.

6- Also in May and to support Trump's regime change plans against the Ayatollahs, a conference and rally is to be held in Washington, D.C. by opponents of the Iranian government, such as exiled former Iranian Prince Reza Pahlavi (whom was called a moron by Paulo Coelho, see story) and his loyalist fans. The organizers claim anonymous donors have pledged $25 million in expense-paid trips to attract 15,000 to the conference and rally (video below from one of the opposition Persian stations in Los Angeles):

7- The strongest popular opposition to Iran's Leader and Revolutionary Guards Corps comes not from wealthy fans of a former King and Prince in exile but from impoverished fans, inside Iran, of former President Ahmadinejad who has turned into a nemesis and vocal critic of conservative clerics and Iranian Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. Recently, after his Vice president was imprisoned, Ahmadinejad indicated on his website Dolatebahar.com, that "the days of the tyrannical unjust regime" may be numbered. The bold statements may indicate Ahmadinejad is aware of an imminent crisis facing the regime. Ahmadinejad has also staged protest sit-ins with his follower in various holy shrines and asked his followers with a motto "Spring is imminent" to fight injustice if and when necessary.

8- Meanwhile, perhaps in anticipation of an imminent crisis and Trump's reneging of the Nuclear Deal, Iran's official currency has experienced a free fall in recent days. Iran has restricted the amount of foreign currency Iranians can hold outside of banks to €10,000 as the government grapples with a severe US dollar shortage that has caused the rial to fall by almost a third this year. Iranian Rial is now selling for 1/60000th of US dollar, down from 1/45000th only a month ago, and currency trade was halted yesterday in Tehran's exchange row on Ferdosi avenue with police presence. The government blames part of the currency crisis on "synchronized" traders in Dubai (United Arab Emirates) and Erbil (in Iraq) who are trying to paralyze the government. The government also blamed widespread street protests and unrest across Iran in January on "foreign" enemies such as Saudi Arabia, US and Israel.

9- Several liberal and Republican commentators (as seen in videos), including former Republican Congressman Dr. Ron Paul, Fox News host Tucker Carlson and Democracy Now's Amy Goodman have warned Americans that the proxy wars in Syria may soon spread and irreversibly escalate into a horrific World War type confrontation.

10- Another sign of an escalating war came last week when cyberattackers using American flag paralyzed a portion of Iran's Internet. The Intelligence Division of Revolutionary Corps has informed some MPs that foreign based applications such as Telegram will be shut down within a week, perhaps as another sign of an all-out imminent war with the Saudi-Israeli coalition.

This June, when millions of Iranians are busy watching their team in 2018 World Cup in Russia, their government may be defending against an all-out offensive by the Saudi-Israeli alliance.
