Israel and World War III, Iran Attempt 3

As things burn in Europe, Iran is slowly moving to the front burner, again (Really, give it up already)-

The latest Iranian Assassin Plot originating out of the US Embassy in Azerbaijan (Washington’s new best friend in the region), is an alleged Iranian assassination ring supposedly targeting US Embassy officials in various countries. Giving the US an excuse to lock-down its foreign offices is one thing, but this latest spy-thriller plot also serves another purpose – to mobilize full cooperation from key regional countries (much to the distaste of nearby Russia), and none is more crucial than Azerbaijan – Iran’s neighbor to the north.

Note the centrality of Azerbaijan in the war plans? We first noted this in June of 2010 and followed up in September of 2010 -

If Russia is not on board, the area near Azerbaijan will be critical for the U.S. to control if Russia attempts to resupply Iran in a war. Russia rolled mobile nukes into the theater in response to the Georgia's war with Russia (U.S. Spec Op)/Russian War of 888.

A series of dominos need to fall in order for the green light on Iran to flash freely for Washington, London, and Tel Aviv. The first and most crucial domino is Syria. In the Middle East region, Syria remains as one of the last remaining strong, secular states and maintains solid links not only with Iran, but also Russia. More importantly though, are its links to a highly organized and battle-ready militia and political force – Hezbollah, located in neighboring Lebanon. Once Syria is destabilized and the Assad government is out of the way, Syria can then be further divided into waring factions. When this happens, gone is Hezbollah’s number one supporter in the region.

From the 2012 predictions -

• Syria  - It appears that the road to Iran lies through Syria. The US will try to draw in Hezbollah through "regime change". (Q1)
• Iran - Time will tell on this one. Iran is a tough nut to crack as opinion is running contrary to Western interests here. IF the US gets Syria, Iran is next. There has been a lot of posturing in 2011, but no one has been able to capitalize. Look for the moral justification route being presented via Iranian "guerrilla forces" "destabilizing Syria and attacking US or NATO "peacekeepers".

And back to the assassins -

According to initial reports in the Washington Post, the newly uncovered ‘Iranian Assassin Plot’ consists of multiple high-value US targets overseas:

In November, the tide of daily cable traffic to the U.S. Embassy in Azerbaijan brought a chilling message for Ambassador Matthew Bryza, then the top U.S. diplomat to the small Central Asian country. A plot to kill Americans had been uncovered, the message read, and embassy officials were on the target list.
The details, scant at first, became clearer as intelligence agencies from both countries stepped up their probe. The plot had two strands, U.S. officials learned, one involving snipers with silencer-equipped rifles and the other a car bomb, apparently intended to kill embassy employees or members of their families.

Quietly mentioned after all the hype, however, is the admission that this latest Grisham plot could not actually be verified:

“Precisely who ordered the hits, and why, was never conclusively determined…”

The Real Effect
This goes to show just how tenacious these guys are. They think of things not in terms of immediate action and resolution, but in a dialectic way of destabilization over the course of decades to centuries. Today's 'casualty of war' in reality becomes tomorrow's aggrieved party terrorist that must be eliminated. Think of the players as corporations such as Wal-Mart, but imagine instead of going through a customer complaint process, Wal-Mart gets to use drone strikes on their house!!

Look for Syria to continue to be front and center as 'massacres' continue to surface. The issue with this thought process though, is that most of the time it is the western aligned forces doing the killing.
