“The regime is lying about nuclear programs just to justify aggression and murder,” Marandi told RT. “Tulsi Gabbard, who is the Director of US National Intelligence, just recently said Iran is not developing nuclear weapons. So it’s clear that the issue is Netanyahu, neat escalation, and the Zionist lobby in the United States is behind him.”

If the United States will put its hands on Iran again [like it was before 1979],” Ibrahim told RT, “they will block the Russian southern wall. This means that Russia will not be able to expand its influence beyond the Caspian Sea. And it will be restricted to a very narrow place between Central Asia and the Arctic.”
Ibrahim warns that China, too, would suffer consequences from a weakened Iran. “China will not be able to reach the Middle East. Because if Iran becomes part of the Western bloc, it will sever China’s access. And the most important thing of all – a new world order will emerge. It will be a new American world order.”
Ibrahim believes this is not a regional conflict, but part of a sweeping strategy to restore American hegemony.
“To make America great again is to regain American control across the globe. The war in Iran is just a chapter in that plan.”

“In strategy, if you want to make war, talk about peace,” he said. “The United States is preparing for a very big war – first against China, then Russia. After this, they will try to build an American century. One government for the world, headquartered in the White House. That’s the final goal.”

“This war,” Ibrahim concluded, “will be the starting point of reshaping the world. If Iran wins – and I believe it will, eventually – the world will shift to a multipolar order. That is the shared vision of Iran, Russia, and China. But if Iran loses, we will all live under an American empire. The White House will rule from Washington to Beijing. This is a decisive battle – not just for Iran, but for the destiny of the world.”
I tend to agree with this. If Washington is able to do regime change in Iran (and I do believe they can kill Khamenei and many other top officials within the next few weeks/months) and able to thus destabilize them as a power or cement a puppet government they will establish complete control of the cross-roads of Eur-Asia, of the strategic triangle of control region long identified (The Grand Chessboard) as a spot to control to prevent the uniting of Asian, Russian, European, and African land powers that locks the US out.
This is for all the cards. Much more important than Ukraine which is strategically irrelevant really. If they can do this they will have a wall against China, a wall against Russia, a knife against Russia’s belly, a way to pour Islamist extremists like ISIS who are their pawns into nearby regions like Russia to destabilize them and sap resources. But more importantly for their war with China it will give them complete control of most global oil, it will give them the ability to gut-punch China economically by cutting off gasoline and petrochemicals, it will give them the ability to block Chinese trade both over land and via strategic straits via the ocean. It will be the final piece in their locking puzzle to encircle, blockade, sanction, and turn up the pressure on China.
It will also give them more freedom to brew up more ISIS types who they will pour into China specifically into Xinjiang to cause trouble though that will be the least of China’s problems if they do this and lock them out of selling to or buying from Africa, west Asia, Europe, etc and force them into a tiny trading bloc with Russia, DPRK, Vietnam and a few other regional countries who risk US anger.
Iran must not be allowed to fall. Russia or someone needs to give them air defenses that work as right now they can throw them into chaos by killing their leadership and operating with impunity in their skies and throwing missiles into the zionist entity while well deserved doesn’t really matter if ultimately Iran collapses as the US still has the strength of its Arab vassal nations and could rebuild the zionist entity or continue its plans without it if Iran is removed from the chessboard.
