If a catastrophic, no-holds-barred war breaks out between the United States and Iran and thousands of American troops are killed by Iranian ballistic missile attacks on US bases in the Gulf region and on U.S. Navy vessels within range of the Iranian coastline, an angered American population will need to reflect on why such a conflict broke out.
They will need to ask the following questions:
1. Does Iran pose a threat to American national security?
2. How many Iranian-allied Shia militias in Iraq and Lebanon have carried out attacks on defenceless American citizens?
3. What is the true reason why Iran was threatened and attacked?
The answers are:
1. No, Iran does not pose any threat whatsoever
to America. It has not invaded another country for over 200 years, and it has only responded to attacks on it when:
. Invaded by the Western and Sunni Arab backed action by Iraqi leader Saddam Hussien in 1980
. The Donald Trump-approved assassination of General Qassem Soleimani
. The Donald Trump approved preemptive attack on Iran in June 2025 and the US bombing of Iranian nuclear energy
development sites.
2. A range of statistical data shows that attacks on Western civilian targets by Muslim extremists have come from Sunni groups of the al-Qaeda variety -the very groups supported by the CIA and Israeli intelligence in various theatre conflicts such as the ‘dirty war’ in Syria.
3. America's reason for attacking Iran is because of pressure from the State of Israel and Zionist lobby groups in the United States.
This is a plain and simple fact.
Zionist Israel operates under an ideology which entails that Israel must expand it territory which was ruthlessly taken from Palestinian inhabitants and must maintain undisputed military and economic hegemony in the region.
Iran is hated by Israel because it backs the Palestinian cause. It also backs Hezbollah, the Shia Lebanese party, which has prevented Israel from expanding its border into southern Lebanon up to the Litani River.
Now, the U.S. Senator named Lindsay Graham recently invoked the name of the late President Ronald Reagan in an attempt to pressure Trump into acting against Iran.
What Graham does not grasp is that Ronald Reagan correctly believed that the United States had been lured into Lebanon by the Israelis when embarked on a murderous invasion of that country in the early 1980s. When American (and French) troops were massacred by Shia forces in Beirut (a reponse to massacres of Shia civilians when U.S. navy carriers were shelling the Bekaa valley), Reagan did not spark an all out war against Lebanon - he withdrew American forces because he realised that Israel wanted to use the U.S. to wage war against Lebanon on Israel's behalf.
Subsequent U.S. Presidents have been unable to resist Israeli pressure aimed at luring the United States into West Asia to fight wars on its behalf. The U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 and “Operation Timber Sycamore”, the CIA orchestrated covert war against the secular Ba'athist government in Syria begun in 2011, are two examples.
Iran has been targeted for destruction by Israeli interests for decades. Binyamin Netanyahu has long spearheaded this campaign since the 1990s, continually and erroneously citing Iran being on the verge of acquiring nuclear weapons. Other Israeli leaders have also called for the same. For instance, in 2003 when the United States was on the verge of attacking Iraq, the Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon called on America to disarm “Iran, Libya and Syria”.
Pro-Zionist think tanks have also promoted the idea of attacking Iran. These include the now defunct neoconservative Project for the New American Century (PNAC) which was co-founded by William Kristol and Robert Kagan and the Israeli-affiliated Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies (IASPS), which produced the 1996 document titled “A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm”.
The recollections of retired U.S. Army General Wesley Clark pertaining to what he described as the “hijacking” of U.S. foreign policy by neoconservative figures in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks are also revealing. Clark told of how former colleagues at the Pentagon alerted him to the existence of a secret memorandum detailing how the United States was going to “take out seven countries in five years”. They were to be Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Iran.
The rationale here was to bring down key states who were opposed to Israeli domination of the Middle East. Iraq, Syria and Libya were led by secular Arab nationalist governments, while Lebanon’s Shia Hezbollah military force resisted Israeli expansion and Shia Iran supported Hezbollah, as well as the cause of Palestine.
These pressures to remould the Middle East in a way to favour Zionist hegemony go far back to the time of the creation of Israel. for instance in on March 31st, 1948, the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States presented a paper entitled “Force Requirements for Palestine”, part of which read that 'Zionist strategy will seek to involve (the United States) in a continuously widening and deepening series of operations intended to secure maximum Jewish objectives.'
But this warning went unheeded.
In 2019 wrote the following in an essay I titled "An Examination of the History of the Pro-Zionist Lobby":
'Many of America’s most important military commanders at that time were of the opinion that the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine would adversely affect the strategic interests of the United States in “the Near and Middle East” and that Zionists would lobby the American government to pursue actions and policies that would not be in the country’s interests. This was clearly the opinion of General George Marshall, a Chief of Army Staff, who later as Secretary of State clashed with President Harry Truman over US recognition of Israel.'
Sadly, this blind obedience of the U.S. political and military class to the interests of a foreign state is leading America into an abyss from which it will be unlikely to recover because its
leaders are bought off and/or blackmailed to act against its own national interests.
