We Ran, We Run, Once Again, To Iran

I heard the reports of Israeli and U.S. attacks on Iran, fresh from the field, at 1:30 am ET, Saturday 28 February. Hardly a surprise to me, as the incentives for two fascist heads of state, Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump, think only in terms of their immediate self-interest. Neither can lose power or they will face the consequences of their uber-corrupt activities, covering decades.

Moreover, Israel has been priming for a take-down of Iran for more than the 30+ years Netanyahu has been prime minister or prime minister-in-waiting. Israel's Intel and Special Ops agency, Mossad, has been plotting regime change for Iran much longer, ever since Shah Pahlavi (junior) was overthrown in 1979 and radical Shi'ite clerics prevailed in the Iranian Revolution of the same year. Similarly, the CIA has thirsted for revenge ever since their removal of democratically-elected Mohammad Mosaddegh in 1953 and installment of the Shah Pahlavi (senior) led to the loss of Shah junior, opening the way for the Ayatollah Khomeini to come to power in 1979.

Expanding on the failed 11-day, June 2025, campaign to eliminate Iran's nuclear weapons program, Israel and the United States are in for not only a likely defeat to eliminate Iran's nuclear capacity and likely failure to trigger "democratic" regime change, but the latest assault on heavily-armed Iran and spiritual center for 15% of Shi'ite Muslims worldwide will almost certainly lead to a protracted global conflict, potentially the "Third World War" scenario so many scholars and military analysts have warned about under similar scenarios.

Stay tuned. Much more to come.
