The Persian Problem
The trap closing in on Biden
As the cycle of escalation in the Middle East ticks on like clockwork, Benjamin Netanyahu’s long awaited war with Iran is looking increasingly certain.
It is a war that the Zionists cannot win, and they know it. With their army bogged down in Lebanon and their air force engaged in a genocidal bombing campaign, they lack the manpower to confront Iran in earnest. In over a year of full-scale warfare they have yet to defeat either the Palestinian resistance or the Lebanese and Iran is capable of far more than both of them combined. While this war sounds suicidal, it is a deliberate exercise in brinkmanship. The goal is to force themselves so close to defeat that the only option is an American intervention.
America has already deployed several carriers in the region in an attempt to protect the rogue state from the consequences of it’s own actions. However, this would not be enough to destroy Iran’s capability to resist. The most likely outcome is a full-scale air war from America, using both carrier based and land based assets. Once America becomes party to this war, all bets are off.
The Biden/Harris regime has painted itself into a corner. They understand that their chances in the election would be severely threatened by an unpopular new war, but the Zionist entity is such an important vector of American foreign policy that they cannot afford to let it be defeated. America must act, regardless of it’s reluctance, to defend the Zionists by any means necessary. As Joe Biden said back when he was still lucid, if “Israel” did not exist, America would have to invent one to carry out it’s foreign policy aims in the Middle East.
Although the Biden/Harris regime publicly claims that they do not support a war with Iran, the Zionists cannot operate without their help. Even Zionist generals admit that they could not keep up their current pace for more than a few months without American aid. At the stroke of a pen, Biden could enact an arms embargo and cut off that aid, ending any hope of a war with Iran.
Besides the physical support, the Zionists depend on America’s diplomatic support in order to operate with impunity. Netanyahu is already a wanted international criminal accused of the crime of Genocide and without American protection he would be in a cell in the Hague.
The fact that the fascist ruling party of Italy, who starts it’s rallies with the traditional “Roman Salute” and worships Benito Mussolini, has imposed an arms embargo on the Zionists while Biden refuses to place any conditions on any shipments shows just how far down the rabbit hole Washington has gone. Italy follows in the footsteps of France, the first of America’s NATO allies to break from the alliance’s slavish devotion to the rogue apartheid state. Despite this, the increasingly isolated Biden/Harris regime remains resolute and gives the Zionists more than they ask for. At this point, any attack from the Zionists can and should be considered an attack by the United States.
Recently leaked documents from the telegram channel “Middle East Spectator” show the Zionists have been transporting dozens of weapons, including a new type of air launched ballistic missile known as “Golden Horizon”, which does not correspond with anything known in their arsenal. These documents could represent either a whistleblower, concerned about the rampant escalation of the Zionists or an intentional leak from the US to delay the strikes with an election fast approaching.
These documents are dated before the Hezbollah attack on Netanyahu’s home, an attack for which the Zionists hold Iran directly responsible. Since then, the Zionists have reportedly prepared an even larger attack, now targeting Iran’s oil and nuclear infrastructure, plus the homes of top leaders. This would be considered an act of war by Iran.
A war with Iran would be catastrophic for the United States. When compared to America’s previous wars in Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan and many more, Iran is a fortress. The country’s geography makes it an absolute nightmare to invade, especially now that the United States has been defeated in Afghanistan.
A land invasion is unlikely. Although Iran shares a border with NATO member Turkey, it is extremely mountainous terrain and well defended with a vast network of tunnels, stocked to the gills with the same anti-tank missiles which are currently burning entire platoons of Merkava tanks in Lebanon. The cost of an invasion over that terrain would be far too great for the United States to consider unless the situation was truly dire.
Even an air war will come with a cost. Iran’s air defense networks now include the modern S-300, a system that has performed very well and continues to serve on both sides of the war in Ukraine. America could strike at Iran from the air, but with all it’s military infrastructure hidden in underground bunkers, it would be very difficult to destroy the country’s means to resist.
In retaliation, Iran’s best and most likely response would be to strike at America’s allies in the region. All of the gulf states are within range of Iran’s weapons, as is the Zionist entity. An American air war will be met with a strategic bombardment of the Zionists on a scale far greater than that of October 1st. It is a campaign they are ill-prepared for.
As drones now strike the heartland of Occupied Palestine on a regular basis, it has become obvious that Zionist air defenses are badly depleted. In order to help fill this gap, the US has deployed it’s THAAD missile defense system. Although it is portrayed as a magic bullet by the shameless Lockheed shills in the media, in reality THAAD has the same weakness as every other air defense system, it has limited ammo and cannot be reloaded quickly. Defeating THAAD is a matter of simple mathematics, fire enough missiles to deplete it’s ammo and it is powerless.
This means that THAAD does not change the cardinal situation, it only increases the number of rockets Iran must fire. The longer the war goes on, the better the math becomes for the Iranians. Each THAAD missile costs 12.6 million, while the Iranian Fateh-110 missile used against the Zionists on October 1st costs only $110,000. This means that no matter what, the Iranians will win the exchange.
However, Iran’s most powerful weapon is it’s ability to shut down enemy shipping. Separating Iran from Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE, the Strait of Hormuz creates a natural bottleneck for ships. At it’s narrowest point it is only 21 miles wide, meaning every ship passing through is well within range of Iranian weapons.
