The United States plans to initiate a new regional war in the Middle East with the double objective of drying up China's energy sources and, subsequently, mapping out a new Great East.
Former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak (overthrown for his opposition to U.S. bases on Egyptian soil), told the Egyptian daily El-Fagr about an alleged plan to divide the entire Middle East region.* The plan was to establish “constructive chaos" through successive destruction of the autocratic regimes of Iraq, Libya, Sudan, Syria and Iran and reserving Jordan as the "new homeland of the Palestinian people.”
Invasion of Lebanon
Thus, according to the Syrian agency SANA, an Israeli attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus would lead not only to the death of three high commanders of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard — among them Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi — but subsequent attacks in Lebanon against Hamas leaders would serve as Israel’s bait to provoke Hezbollah's entry into the conflict.
Given this context, the impact of a missile on a soccer field located in the Golan Heights killing 12 people, mostly children and young people, would serve as an Israeli false flag, a pretext for Benjamin Netanyahu to invade Lebanon. Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs Israel Katz told Channel 12, “The moment of a total war against Hezbollah is near." Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said, “We will strike the enemy hard."
However, after ending the Gaza campaign, and despite the fact that Israel did not get the response it expected in the form of an attack by Hezbollah, with the blessing of the U.S., Netanyahu reportedly decided to invade southern Lebanon. This would serve to move 400,000 inhabitants to the other side of the Litani River, create a security ring for the Israeli settlements and gain time until Donald Trump's expected victory in November. Netanyahu is certain that he can count on [Trump] to support his exoneration before the International Criminal Court.
Is Iran the Next Target?
After the fiascos in Syria, Libya and Iraq, Iran would be the new bait in the Anglo-Jewish plan, a Machiavellian scheme in the Anglo-Jewish alliance. Outlined in 1960, it would attract both Russia and China and provoke a major regional conflict, which would mark the future of the area in the coming years — a new local episode framed by a return to the recurrent and endemic U.S.-Russia Cold War.
Iran took on the stature of a regional power thanks to the erratic policy of the United States in Iraq. A product of the political myopia of the Bush administration which was obsessed with the Axis of Evil, Iran would eliminate its ideological rivals, the radical Sunni Taliban and Saddam Hussein, leaving a power vacuum in the area. Thus, it would reaffirm its inalienable right to nuclearization — but it has not yet been able to do so.
Israel’s assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut would provide new bait for Iran to escalate the war and initiate its destabilization with U.S. help.
Following the attack that could be the fuse for a regional conflict in the Middle East — and following its proverbial prudence — Iran has finally responded with a targeted attack on Israeli military bases without civilian casualties, deploying more than 200 ballistic missiles.
The Middle and the Near East present a striking parallel to the Balkans and East Central Europe in the years following World War I, after which the victors proceeded to redraw the unstable borders of the area. Virtual borders were drawn that led to a long period of turmoil, violence and regional conflict because of ethnic conflicts arising from artificial borders, as well as the clash of economic interests of the major European powers in the area.
Thus, the Pentagon would use Israel's harsh response to Iran to initiate a new war in the Middle East, with the double objective of drying up China's energy sources and, subsequently, mapping out a new Great East. This conflict could ultimately involve the three superpowers (U.S., China and Russia), would count as necessary collaborators the regional powers (Israel, Syria, Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Iran) and would cover the geographical space extending from the Mediterranean arc (Israel, Syria and Lebanon) to Yemen and Somalia, with Iraq as its epicenter — reminiscent of the Vietnam War under Lyndon B. Johnson from 1963 to 1969.
