Description

The Recent Bombing in Iran and US Support of Terrorism in Iran... - The US has used armed terrorist organizations for decades as proxies against their adversaries worldwide, including most recently in Syria, Iraq, and against Iran; - US weapons and equipment “fell into the hands” of ISIS and other terrorist organizations, consisting of the largest, most effective militant groups participating in the US proxy war against Syria; - US government and corporate-funded think tanks like the Brookings Institution in its 2009 “Which Path to Persia?” policy paper proposed using listed terrorist organizations like the MEK to undermine, coerce, and possibly even overthrow the Iranian government; - The 2009 paper suggested MEK be “delisted” as a terrorist organization by the US State Department, which the Department eventually did in 2012 following intense lobbying and media campaigning by senior US and European representatives; - The MEK is currently still supported by senior US-European representatives with undermining, coercing, and overthrowing the Iranian government remaining as a key Western geopolitical objective; - Western media warns the recent terrorist attack in Iran could trigger a wider regional conflict, which the US has openly sought since the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023; - The 2009 Brookings paper feared Iran might not retaliate against US provocations, denying the US the wider regime-change war it sought; - Between the US-backed brutalization of Gaza and now a terrorist attack on Iran itself, the US is making it as politically unlikely as possible for Tehran to avoid retaliation if and when a major US or Israel strike on Iran takes place; References: BBC - Iran leader vows harsh response to deadly bombings that killed 84 (January 5, 2024): https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67872281 Al Jazeera - ISIL weapons traced to US and Saudi Arabia (2017): https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/12/14/isil-weapons-traced-to-us-and-saudi-arabia NY Times - Arms Airlift to Syria Rebels Expands, With Aid From C.I.A.

The US denial was nearly as contrived as their previous denials concerning a certain pipeline and their duplicitous excuses as regards the use of their various donated weapons in the killing of civilians in Russia ,The various Independent Donbas Republics , Syria and Iraq .

There was a documentary around 2017 called "SYRIA DISPATCHES: AN END IN SIGHT?" Reporter was from the UK, he toured the front line with a Syrian Officer, they inspected dead ISIS fighters, all the bodies had US & UK weapons. When he asked the Syrian soldiers where the sniper rifles were coming from, they told him they were Australian. With this in mind I wrote to the Australian defense Minister, Christopher Pyne was the chap then, by law he had to respond. The letter I got, well lets say, their was no denial at all.

Given the current shape of history, I'd say that whenever anything blows up in the world, you can most likely track the explosion back to the USA somehow.

When I was at the University, I met a Retired Brigadier General who "worked" at the Pentagon. I asked him what he did there. He said, I plan our next war. I said WHAT!? He said, Don't you know the United States THRIVES on a "War Economy"?

To my knowledge the US and their Kurdish allies never bothered to take out the last ISIS stronghold in North Eastern Syria. You really have to wonder why.
