US aggression against Iran could ignite global catastrophe

By Mark Dankof

All basically said but I said earlier this morning on the Andrew Carrington Hitchcock show coming from London and that is that the United States seems to be bent on starting a war with Iran chiefly for Zionist interests and secondarily for the perceived interests of Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf states.

This is a war that is not in the interest of the average American, it is a war that need not take place. It is a war that threatens to go absolutely global. If the Russians and the Chinese should become involved in some fashion as a result of this latest American provocation.

So in this circumstance, this is the end game of American interventionism that's been going on in earnest, since the first Persian Gulf War, and it's going to result in a complete disaster, both for the United States and for the world.

So in this particular case, Donald Trump if he does pursue this course of action will prove once and for all that he is not an America First president in terms of foreign policy. This foreign policy has nothing to do with Charles Lindbergh or Robert Taft or Patrick Buchanan, it has everything to do with the same type of Zionist and globalist perspective that we have seen from a series of other American presidents, with the possible exception of John F Kennedy of course, who was assassinated while he was in office.

Ex-IRGC chief warns: Iran can turn US aircraft carriers into sinking submarines in case of attack

A former IRGC chief says the Islamic Republic is capable of turning US aircraft carriers into sinking submarines in a few hours.

So in this particular circumstance, I think this Soleimani assassination, as I told was Tasnim news agency last year, the Soleimani assassination on January 3 of 2020 followed up later by the Fakhrizadeh assassination toward the end of 2020, have basically set in course a series of things that would seem to point directly toward a direct American and Iranian conflict and confrontation, that need not happen.

This is simply a case of an American president, and with support from both sides of the political aisle, an American president, who is bent on launching yet another war in the Middle East that has nothing to do with the national defense of the United States, that has everything to do with a greater Israel foreign policy, and with continuing to support a foreign policy that benefits the world banking Bretton Woods system that has been in place since the end of World War Two and secondarily benefiting Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf states and the energy consortiums.

This is a terrible foreign policy, it is a dangerous and reckless foreign policy, and potentially 1000s, even millions of innocent people could be killed if this thing really gets out of hand.

So, again as a Taft Buchanan, Charles Lindbergh type of Republicans and I absolutely reject what Donald Trump is doing as I told Tasnim last year. And I think it's incredible that there has not been an absolute outcry in the United States by the American people in regard to these assassinations of these Iranian military and nuclear personnel, because it's not simply wrong, but because it's going to involve our own children and grandchildren in something that is absolutely preventable.
