Iran Aims to Attain Virtual Border with Israel Using Proxies

We will never be able to determine whether or not the near surrender by the P5 +1 following the lead taken by President Obama with able support by the equally absent forcefulness of European Union Foreign Minister Catherine Ashton to the Iranians over their nuclear weapons program in enabling Iran will allow them to impose their control over the heart of the Middle East from Lebanon and Syria on the Mediterranean Sea through Iraq to Iran on the Persian Gulf and adjacent to the Indian Ocean. The war over Syria is making much noise in the American and world media and has taken the lead for concern in the West. Getting considerably less attention is the battle in Iraq and in Lebanon, both of which are offshoots now of the war in Syria. The battle in all of these countries has Sunni Islamists fighting against Shiite fundamentalists with al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood taking the Sunni side of the battle against Hezballah, the Iraqi Military and Shiite militias along with IRGC (Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps) and other Iranian military assets backing the Shiite side which basically is the representation of Iran. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and the other members of the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) are providing the necessary financial support as well as funneling weapons to the Sunni forces in Syria which likely also provides some funds for the Sunni forces in Iraq. The sad truth is that most of the Anbar Province and Fallujah particularly have fallen under complete control of al-Qaeda forces completely undoing the hard fought gains won with United States and her allies’ blood and treasure. This fact is a result of the lack of concern or attention to foreign policy by the Obama Administration and the Congress and is just another tragedy along the same exact lines and root causes as the disastrous Benghazi Consulate 9/11/12 ambush which took four American’s lives including the United States Ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens. There will be many ramifications to the Sunni and Shiite sectarian war raging across the central Middle East, some of which may be predictable.

 

The initial crucial battle is in Syria with the slowly escalating civil war in Iraq taking a close second. Lebanon will fall to whichever side is victorious in Syria. The actual war is being fought between Iran and Saudi Arabia as the Western powers are mostly sitting the entire conflict on the sidelines debating the morals of intervening. Without Western backing the civil war in Syria and the broader sectarian war stretching from Iran to Lebanon will simply continue without either side likely to win a quick and decisive victory. The eventual victor will likely be Iran as they appear to have the greater stake with greater investment and will to win at any cost. When one includes the noncommittal attitude from the Western Powers and the Chinese willingness to block any Western efforts in the United Nations and the Russians not only joining the Chinese in the United Nations votes and also taking a moderate active role in supplying Syria and Iran with special weapons assistance and aiding Iran with technical assistance including nuclear research, it is not difficult to predict that Iran will eventually take the upper hand whenever they feel their position is beyond challenge due to their having attained nuclear weapons status. The one threat which has tempered the level of the Iranian intervention has been the possibility of an Israeli attack and their desire to lull the United States and European powers into a sense of security. Once Iran has attained nuclear weapons production, then we can expect their interference to take a measurable and obvious increase as they make a push to bring the conflicts to a conclusion in their favor. Once Iran has solidified their hold on all of Iraq south of the Kurdish held northern provinces and firmly reinforced Bashir al-Assad in Syria and as a byproduct reestablished Hezballah’s preeminence in Lebanon, then comes the final move which is the lynchpin of this struggle between Iran and Saudi Arabia, Jordan. What can be expected is for Iran to take the Palestinian side in Jordan against the Hashemite monarchy mostly through their alliance with Hamas and befriending the Palestinian Authority through Fatah and the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades. This was part of the reason behind the effort to include Jordan in the GCC despite the small and inconvenient fact that Jordan does not border the Gulf as do the other member states.

 

The entire aim of this game by Iran is two-fold, first to gain a foothold on Israel’s doorstep and surround her on all three landed sides and to cut a swath clean across the heart of the Middle East in order to give Iran the foothold from which they can attempt to threaten the rest of the oil-producing states and take control of OPEC. If the other OPEC nations choose not to bend to the Iranian pressures, then Iran can be expected to enforce their control over oil prices by actually taking control of the actual oil fields by force starting by having the Shiite Muslims living in these lands rioting and claiming they are being persecuted by the Sunni rulers and begging for Iranian intervention. These Shiite populations will play the part of the Sudeten German ethnic citizens of northern Czechoslovakia at the lead into the Second World War. Once Iran has complete control either through influence and threat or after actual military takeover of the actual oil fields, then they will attempt to press their influence through control of oil prices by which they plan to bring the Western nations to their financial knees. What Iran plans on pursuing once they have financially decimated the Western nations, then proceeding to spread their version of Shiite Islam across the entire world would not be a surprising result. Of course the reason for taking Jordan is to completely surround Israel and to make a show of arms to make a statement to the Gulf oil countries. Iran has been the number one progenitor of terror throughout the world since the 1979 revolution. They have succeeded at this sponsoring and not having to pay a price as they have mastered appearing removed from the actual acts of terror. Once one looks into terrorist activities throughout the globe, a careful inspection will reveal the hidden arm of Iran playing the puppet master in a surprising number of cases. To list a couple, there were the bombings of the Israeli Embassy and the Association Mutual Israel Argentina (AMIA) Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires, Argentina, an endless list of terrorist crimes by Hezballah in Lebanon, financial and tactical support for Hamas in Gaza, Hezballah’s presence, training and staging camp in the Tri-border Area of South America at the point where Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil meet and none will dare intrude, and the continuing wars they are currently supporting from the Iran-Iraq border all the way to where Lebanon and Syria meet the Mediterranean Sea. Iran has been building slowly and steadily with their aim of taking hegemonic control initially across the Middle East and then to spread until stopped or until they control everything. Their aim is to complete the conquest by the Aryan master race first the impetus behind the Nazis. There is a reason that Iran is no longer called by their historic and proud heritage won over thousands of years, Persia, and are now called Iran which just happens to be how one says Aryan in Farsi, the original Persian language in Iran. They are simply attempting to resurrect the dream and complete what failed during World War II. Be warned.
