A concerted effort on the part of Iranian citizens rioting backed by cyber warfare American air-power and Israeli counterintelligence operations would succeed in taking down the brutal Iranian regime. The hour of truth is now. Its time to start imagineering a post-ayatollah Iran.
Over the years Ive written about Jewish indigenous rights to the Land of Israel and how Israeli foreign policy should support the non-Arab/Muslim indigenous minorities throughout the Middle East and North Africa such as the Kurds and roll-back the 7th century Arab/Muslim imperialist conquest of the region. To help create a New Middle East.
Now because the Iranian people are voting in the streets its time for its corollary a post-ayatollah democratic Iran. Something that would greatly benefit the Iranian people America Israel the West in general and all the peoples of the region. And disengage Iran from North Korea; George W. Bushs Axis of Evil." See my North Korea: The Israeli Connection" to better understand their relationship.
The last couple times there were large protests against the government in Iran in 2009-2010 and again in 2011-2012 the Obama administration wasted its opportunity to help liberate the Iranian people from the mullahs and put the nuclear facilities in the hands of level-headed people.
Judith Miller a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and adjunct fellow of the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research in a recent interview stated ...that might have happened in 2009 if Pres. Obama had lent any support. Pres. Trump is now in this. Im hoping the Iranian people get rid of this regime...this is the most serious set of protests since 1979."
Former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Bush and Obama agrees Retired Adm. Mike Mullen wants the Trump administration to not make the same mistakes as the Obama administration and fully back protesters in Iran.
Reza Pahlavi Crown Prince of Iran and son of the late Shah sees the historic opportunity and has called on the people of Iran to participate in acts of civil disobedience similar to Lech Walesa/Poland Nelson Mandela/South Africa and what occurred during the fall of the Soviet Union and Berlin Wall.
Alireza Jafarzadeh an active dissident against the Iranian government formerly the chief congressional liaison and public spokesperson for the US office of the National Council of Resistance of Iran and best known for revealing the existence of clandestine nuclear facilities in Iran in 2002 stated that riots have broken out in over 80 cities throughout Iran."
In a recent interview Jafarzadeh explained that the riots started because of the economic situation and accusations of corruption against the regime and quickly morphed into an anti-Khamenei anti-Rouhani anti-regime movement. He stated people see the money that came from America from Obamas Iran deal that the regime had promised would help improve peoples economic situations going instead to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard to Syria Iraq Yemen Bahrain Gaza and Lebanon."
Jafarzadeh said the Iranian people do not support the foreign interventions and terrorism that the government has been involved in. He claimed that The situation now is more serious than in 2009 because leaders of the regime are divided themselves." He called on the West to designate the leaders of the regime as major violators of Human Rights" and weaken the regime further by applying new sanctions to it.
The Trump administration can do a lot to bring about regime change in Iran and they shouldnt hesitate to take advantage of this G-d given window of opportunity.
Big protests in Iran" Trump tweeted. The people are finally getting wise as to how their money and wealth is being stolen and squandered on terrorism. Looks like they will not take it any longer. The USA is watching very closely for human rights violations!"
And then Trump tweeted Iran is failing at every level despite the terrible deal made with them by the Obama Administration. The great Iranian people have been repressed for many years. They are hungry for food & for freedom. Along with human rights the wealth of Iran is being looted. TIME FOR CHANGE!"
Israeli PM Netanyahu echoed Trumps sentiments in a video posted to his Facebook page saying Brave Iranians are pouring into the streets. They seek freedom. They seek justice. They seek the basic liberties that have been denied them for decades. Irans cruel regime wastes tens of billions of dollars spreading hate" in the region. This money could have built schools and hospitals." Netanyahu continued This regime tries desperately to sow hate between us. But they wont succeed. And when this regime finally falls and one day it will Iranians and Israelis will be great friends once again" (as before the 1979 Islamic Revolution).
US Vice President Mike Pence also tweeted support for the protesters saying We will not let them down."
But vicious tweets and Facebook videos wont do it. In his recent national security speech Trump said To counter Iran and block its path to a nuclear weapon I sanctioned the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps for its support of terrorism and I declined to certify the Iran Deal to Congress." With Iranians now rioting in the streets America must step-up to the plate and commit itself to absolute victory in Iran using its massive firepower for the good of the world.
As Trump said A nation that is not prepared to win a war is a nation not capable of preventing a war."
Open US support for the Democratic Revolution in Iran the protesters backed by American air-cover to prevent Iranian security from mowing them down would go a long way. Add to that missile strikes against selected command-and-control systems nuclear facilities government media outlets and other selected infrastructure and you have a lethal combination to empower the Iranian people to overthrow their ayatollahs.
Israels contribution can be significant too. Remember Stuxnet the malicious computer worm uncovered in 2010 by Kaspersky Lab it was responsible for causing substantial damage to Irans nuclear program up to that point. The worm was believed to have been a jointly built American/Israeli cyberweapon. Israel is one of the acknowledged world leaders in cyber warfare.
And according to Ronen Bergman senior correspondent for military and intelligence affairs for Yedioth Ahronoth Israels Mossad has been carrying out counterintelligence operations for some time in Iran including sabotage and the assassination of nuclear scientists and others involved in Irans nuclear program. Bergman in the past justified the operations citing former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who regularly said that Israel should be wiped off the face of the earth. Ayatollah Khamenei and others continue in his footsteps.
Bergman said refering to Meir Degan the former chief of the Mossad … he hung a photograph behind him behind the chair of the chief of Mossad And in that photograph you see an ultra-orthodox Jew long beard standing on his knees with his hands up in the air and two Gestapo soldiers standing beside him with guns pointed at him. One of them is smiling...Degan used to say to his people and the people coming to visit him from CIA NSA etc Look at this guy in the picture. This is my grandfather just seconds before he was killed by the SS we are here to prevent this from happening again."
So one can understand Israels high motivation to bring down the mullah regime in Iran.
Supporting the creation of a pro-western independent Kurdistan bordering Iran as a bulwark to help prevent a pro-Iranian Shiite Crescent from Iran through Iraq Syria and Lebanon to the Mediterranean should be of immediate interest to policy makers in America Israel the Sunni Arab Coalition and the West. So too should they actively resist Iranian penetration of neighboring states support for international terrorism and the development of nuclear weapons.
Better yet its time to start imagineering a post-ayatollah Iran. A democratic Iran denuclearized and welcomed back into the family of civilized nations good to its citizens and at peace with its neighbors. The hour of truth is now enough poli-talk its time to act!
