Iran and North Korea are prime Trump administration targets for war and regime change.
US war plans were drawn long ago against both nations, updated over time, implementation perhaps coming, a high-risk scenario in both theaters, madness if Washington preemptively attacks either country.
Neocon Nikki Haley is Trump’s leading administration antagonist, notably on North Korea and Iran. Her hostile early September address on the Islamic Republic before the hawkish American Enterprise Institute preceded Trump’s decertification of the JCPOA nuclear deal – an international treaty the president defied by his action.
Haley’s address was a deplorable litany of beginning-to-end Big Lies. On Wednesday during a Security Council open debate on the Middle East, she was at it again.
She lied saying Washington’s goal is “peace, security, and human rights for the region.”
She lied claiming “nearly every threat to peace and security in the Middle East is connected to Iran’s outlaw behavior.”
Washington considers aiding Syria combat the scourge of US-supported terrorism “outlaw behavior.”
Iranian actions in Syria and the region are positive, not “destructive,” and “malign,” as Haley claimed.
She lied saying Iran “flagrant(ly) violat(es) Security Council Resolution 2231.” It endorsed the Iran nuclear deal, prohibiting its military from any activity related to ballistic missiles able to deliver nuclear warheads.
Iran is in full compliance, all its missiles capable only of carrying conventional ones. Haley lied claiming otherwise, falsely accusing the country of “aggressive, destabilizing, and unlawful behavior.”
It fully complies with the JCPOA’s letter and spirit. Washington, NATO, Israel and their rogue allies are outlaw nations, waging aggressive wars in multiple theaters, threatening more.
Resolution 2231 doesn’t prohibit Iran from activities related to combating terrorism or dealings with other countries, including aiding them fight this scourge.
Haley criticized its regional efforts – combating ISIS and other terrorists America and its rogue allies support, she failed to explain.
Her remarks included a long laundry list of long ago discredited canards.
Washington, Israel, and its sinister AIPAC lobby resent Iranian sovereign independence, its military strength solely for defense – an obstacle to Israeli regional dominance, along with America’s presence.
Were Haley’s hostile Wednesday remarks prelude for initiating diabolical Trump administration plans ahead, including naked aggression against the country – nuclear deal decertification a starter for what’s to come?
Haley called for tough Security Council action against Iran not forthcoming. Washington ignores international law, acting unilaterally or with rogue allies, pursuing its ruthless imperial agenda.
Does it include war on North Korea and Iran? Is Trump reckless enough to launch the unthinkable against one or both countries?
Is he willing to risk nuclear confrontation and WW III? Humanity holds its breath to find out.
