The claim is that military mobilisation, hateful propaganda, sanctions and deliberately impossible ultimatums coupled with a belief that any shooting war will result in quick victory lead to a powder-keg environment which needs just a small spark to ignite. History is replete with evidence supporting the theory and also reveals how frequently a certain much-loved tribe has been on hand to supply said spark.<\/h5>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/bolton-wakes-up.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-189127\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/bolton-wakes-up.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/bolton-wakes-up.png 500w, https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/bolton-wakes-up-300x257.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/a>All of these preconditions are there in abundance with regard to Iran. To make matters worse the warmongers in America have a virtual monopoly on politics and media. To the horror of those\u00a0who voted for him Trump recently appointed John Bolton as his National &#8216;Security&#8217; Adviser, from which position he has sought to activate his message of a few years back:\u00a0<em>To Stop Iran\u2019s Bomb, Bomb Iran<\/em>. That would be the same Iranian bomb\u00a0which Netanyahu continually warns is &#8216;imminent&#8217;.

We&#8217;ve also had a few preliminary false flag attacks on Saudi shipping but these were so pathetic they even embarrassed the warmongers.<\/h5>\n<h5>However a juicy new target has just arrived in the Persian Gulf: The <em>USS Abraham Lincoln<\/em>&#8216;s carrier strike group<strong>.\u00a0<\/strong>Now I&#8217;m not suggesting it&#8217;s a target for the Iranians. No, I see the potential attack emanating from the same source as that which attacked the <em>USS Liberty<\/em> and organised the Lavon Affair. And for the same reason: A false flag to get America into a war against the enemies of Israel (and in this case the Saudis as well). Many commentators such as Pat Buchanan play down the risk of war breaking out given the serious military challenge Iran would pose.

The point being that those egging on the conflict, the Israeli\/Saudi\/MIC nexus and their whores in Congress and the media, don&#8217;t need America to occupy Iran. The\u00a0 Israelis and Saudis want a war (with of course the goyim\/kuffars doing the fighting and picking up the cost) which destroys Iran&#8217;s infrastructure and military <em>a la<\/em> Iraq or Libya, rendering the country powerless for generations to come. The MIC wants\u00a0\u00a0the hundreds of billions\u00a0on offer from the ensuing\u00a0reconstruction and rearmament projects.<\/h5>\n<h5>That&#8217;s why when it&#8217;s claimed that the Iraq war was a failure I always ask &#8216;a failure for whom?&#8217;.

Well the false-flag sinking or disabling of the <em>USS Abraham Lincoln<\/em> would fit the bill nicely.\u00a0 Were such to occur the crescendo of war propaganda might be too much for Trump to resist. The criminals who fomented the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria are still there, still in power, unaccountable and unabashed.\u00a0 Given that the same people launched the War On Terror based on a fable of skyscrapers magically collapsing in freefall it&#8217;s all too possible.<\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/irishsavant.blogspot.com\/2019\/05\/the-iranian-war-threat.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Those who are rooting for war don\u2019t need the U.S. to invade Iran, writes Irish Savant.
