CHEATER GAMBLER

Why is US intervention in the Israel-Iran war just a matter of style of the same neoconservative policy that ruined Americans? Donald Trump plays dice with his country's destinies

By Sidney Hey

When Trump's message was made public on his X network, a colleague with whom I was having a cool drink in a pub in Horbat smiled and with his mouth half open said ‘touch your balls, who can believe this guy?’ His witticism made me burst out laughing not in derision but at the way he said it. I agree with his opinion and that is why I told him that if I were a military adviser to Ali Khamenei I would tell him that the last thing he should do is to let his guard down. 

At this point you can't take anything Trump says seriously, let alone his little social media messages. The real question is why is he trying to stop this confrontation in its tracks? Let's rule out good intentions, the recognition of Rafael Grossi's malice and even less an interest in peace.

We could speculate on several alternatives to this question but note that all of them involve Bibi Netanyahu. To begin with, Trump knew very well and was informed by his Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard that Tehran was not developing any nuclear bombs.

Let's not forget that Donald Trump played a dirty hand and while he said he was giving two weeks to think about how to negotiate the situation with Iran, he ordered a fleet of B2 stealth planes from his base in Missouri to attack the nuclear plants at Natanz, Fordow and Isfahan with anti-bunker bombs, very clever, or at least that's what he thought.

Let there be no doubt that this move was reported to his friend Bibi who believed that this would give the coup de grâce to Iran's nuclear programme and the Iranian government by getting it out of the predicament in which his government was left. But at the same time this shows that Trump has no idea what the situation is all about, let alone what Iran really represents.

Tehran, far from panicking as Trump and his Zionist retinue in the White House no doubt expected, doubled its bet and launched a replica with three missiles against one of the most important US bases in the region, Al Udeid, in the emirate of Qatar. Trump thus received a resounding slap in the face just as he received in 2020 when, after ordering the CIA to assassinate Iranian General Qassem Soleimani and Iraqi Shiite militia leader Mahdi Al Muhandis, Iranian missiles devastated the US base ‘Al Assad’ in Iraq.

At the time his advisors, whom he never listens to (like Tulsi Gabbard), told him that it had been a grave mistake to take Iran lightly. He also seems to have forgotten that after that retaliation Bibi did not pick up the phone. But it seems that Trump either has no memory or is still a very impressionable guy for the pro-Israeli lobby in Washington, so much so that he is capable of doing anything stupid to ingratiate himself with the Zionist ultra-rightists.   

There is a reality that is far from what Trump himself and the Western media have said about how events unfolded, especially about Iran. The Israelis never controlled Iranian skies and even the Americans could never do so. The only time Israeli F-35s were able to penetrate Iranian airspace was with their treacherous attack on June 13, for which they lost several of those planes and a couple of pilots are now in some Iranian prison. After that, each and every one of their attacks was carried out by launching their air-to-surface missiles at considerable altitude from Iraqi skies which, let's remember, are now free and controlled by US CENTCOM. This tactic is the same as the one used to attack Syria from Lebanese skies.

Likewise, the limited range of each of the Israeli attack aircraft required the assistance of KC-130 tankers that took off from bases in the United Arab Emirates and other points in the region, demonstrating the complicity of the monarchies with the US and Tel Aviv.

With that assistance in aggression, the US had declared war on Iran and it did not take Donald Donald to order air strikes against Iran's nuclear plants to constitute a Casus belli. And if that was not enough, he took the liberty of threatening the Iranians with the haughty demand for ‘unconditional surrender’ as if it were a Hollywood movie. Trump has once again put his foot in his mouth, and although his mouth is spouting those strident phrases and statements that affirm nothing, he has once again dragged his country into another unnecessary war that (as the Pentagon is already analysing) will distract resources from the main strategic objectives such as China and the Russian Federation.

He seems to have reacted late to his foolishness, as criticism from within his ‘America First’ supporters, especially among Republicans, is calling into question the credibility they gave him when they trusted his administration to stop squandering human and economic resources on wars that have nothing to do with the interests of the American people.

The past condemns Donald Trump and when it comes to Iran, the record shows it. From the assassination of Soleimani (a crime against a foreign official) to withdrawing without explanation from the negotiations on the multilateral agreement on Iran's nuclear programme shows that he has always been hostile and has succumbed to every temptation blown in his ear by Netanyahu and his envoys.  

Despite Trump's message ‘forcing a ceasefire’, the Israeli jets continued their actions and Tehran responded with new missile rounds, including one of the new hypersonic multi-warhead missiles, which was impossible to intercept by Israeli anti-aircraft systems and proved highly accurate and lethal.

 

RELOCATION OPERATION?

Why will the US attack on Iran's nuclear facilities accelerate the mass flight of inhabitants and settlers from the Israeli entity?

 

By Dany Smith

When trying to find a serious treatment of what has been unleashed in the Middle East and distanced from the political stories to which we are accustomed by the mainstream media, it is very difficult to find it. The pro-Israeli militancy in some cases of the media in Buenos Aires is so evident that it embarrasses both friends and strangers. But as always, their editorials are based on unidirectional sentences and nothing else, with no evidence or clear facts to support their claims.

As good obsequious, the media of this region only focus on raising what is sent to them already sifted and duly arranged from the north, so there is no margin to have a critical and real vision of the situation. Within this framework and after the attack ordered by Trump, what is happening within the corridors of American politics, are Americans really convinced to sacrifice their people and their resources for a problematic state?

Let's start from the fact that all this has shown who the real violators of international law and human rights are. Just as an illustrative fact, before a single Israeli missile fell on Tehran, the Mossad (through its hired assassins) detonated in front of the homes of high-ranking officials, six vehicles loaded with explosives killing them, their families and several neighbors.

Trump's decision only benefits Netanyahu and his supporters, no one else. On the contrary, it will be a burden for the simple citizen who will surely be pressured to pay more and higher taxes after this new adventure, adding also the lack of employment and a recession that only benefits the financial games of his friends on Wall Street. To top it off, the U.S. today could only be called a caricature of “democracy” as the government watches everything and everyone and it is no secret, you can even be killed for criticizing some of the White House associates.

Not only does Tucker Carlson ask inconvenient questions and harshly criticize the Trump administration's crazy decisions, the critical spectrum is broader than any journalist in Buenos Aires would dare to ruminate. The climate is rarefied and the risks are very real, especially when criticizing a regime of Talmudic extremists that has already killed some 200 journalists in the Gaza Strip since October 2023.

Candace Owens, a well-known American political commentator has been annoying American Zionists to such an extent that one of them Haim Braverman threatened her with death for having considered that after a debate she cornered one of their Zionist referents from New Jersey. The questions of Owens and others are annoying because their answers are impossible to justify.

The problem for these extremist Jewish sectors within the US and throughout the hemisphere is not that they are persecuted for imaginary anti-Semitic biases (as they repeatedly argue), but that researchers and many actual journalists use common sense and logic to understand what is going on and that is when the tired narratives of victimhood fall to the ground. How can anyone remain silent when a rabbi, supposedly connected to divinity excuses the killings of children and women? 

The big problem and one that causes a lot of annoyance is that people are becoming aware of what Israel is and who are the ones defending it. Despite the fact that every year Zionist organizations and their expensive public relations studios spend tens of millions of dollars to fabricate false content for the media corporation to produce intoxicated news that is like feeding shit to the viewers.

There is among a good portion of the American and also British public awareness of the hoaxes and science fiction reports that are disseminated by outlets like Sky News, BBC and the entire arc of island yellow print media that answer to the IDF PR office. Not least because the Israelis have already realized that their expensive anti-missile systems cannot cope with Iranian hypersonic missiles and this means that they are so helpless that even the shelters are not a safe place.

Obviously, these media are not going to show the shocking images of panicked settlers and even IDF soldiers crying in panic after the boom of each missile that falls. The airports are no longer safe and even the Ben Gurion international terminal after being hit several times has been closed to media access and any unauthorized image will be followed by a threat of annihilation.

Following this, the demand for tickets and ways to escape from Israel are increasing with each passing day and this is not fake news. So dramatic is the situation that some are speculating that Netanyahu (to try to save his neck) ordered a ground offensive on southern Syria to make his way to Damascus as a way to close the gap in the face of a possible direct confrontation with the Iranians.

 

 

LOS BRICS SE REFUERZAN

Mientras el liderazgo de EEUU apuesta por extender el fuego de la guerra y con ello una mayor recesión, el sur global y sus principales exponentes bregan por la cooperación multipolar en equidad

 

Por Charles H. Slim

No importa lo que desde los medios en el hemisferio se trata de instalar ni las consecuencias horribles que está trayendo la escalada entre Israel e Irán, incluso las ya claras intensiones de los EEUU de echar más gasolina al fuego para sostener a Tel Aviv. Mientras Donald Trump camina por un hilo delgado tratando de que su MAGA no se deshaga ante un involucramiento más directo contra Irán, Eurasia y la Federación de Rusia en particular sigue marcando el camino para un nuevo mundo verdaderamente multipolar.

Mientras el moribundo G-7 reunido en Canadá -entre otras cuestiones- fijo su postura de apoyo a la agresión israelí y los misiles volaban de un lado al otro, entre el 18 al 21 de junio en Rusia con la asistencia de unos 144 representantes de regiones y países se llevaba a cabo la sesión plenaria del 28º encuentro del Foro Económico de San Petersburgo creado en 1997 en donde el presidente Vladimir Putin tuvo activa participación abordando toda clase de temas atinentes a la realidad internacional.

En su intervención, el presidente Putin recalco que pese al difícil contexto internacional (y a las sanciones que EEUU todavía mantiene) el PBI ruso creció más del 4% anual durante los últimos dos años. El descenso de la inflación por debajo del 10% representa un logro que fue acompañado con una baja del desempleo.

Justamente en este marco y en momentos que las tensiones escalaban entre Israel e Irán, Donald Trump (sin pruebas o siquiera una suma de presunciones serias) ordenaba atacar las plantas nucleares iraníes demostrando que las dos semanas que se tomaría para pensar en una intervención eran mentiras. Lo que para él era un movimiento astuto se traducía en el incremento de mayores tensiones y la clara posibilidad de un escalamiento aún peor.

Aunque Trump y su circulo muestran satisfacción por esta agresión que obviamente beneficiaba a Israel y a Netanyahu, la percepción general sobre el modo de cómo Washington cree que se resuelven las cuestiones de política internacional son bastante negativas. Tal vez Trump crea que golpeando a quienes se oponen busca intimidar al resto funcione, máxime si vemos el pasado contemporáneo, EEUU ha destruido a varios países sin que eso haya redundado en mejorar las cosas tanto para los agredidos como para los estadounidenses.

A diferencia de los noventas, cuando EEUU acaparaba la potencialidad global tras el derrumbe de la URSS y por medio del cual (a base de la fuerza) imponía su lineamiento geopolítico hoy existe un polo global liderado por China y la Federación de Rusia que va en otra dirección a sus pretensiones y que tiene la potencialidad para no dejarse intimidar.   

No hay dudas que estamos en un momento critico para el mundo. Una vez más somos testigos de la ineficacia de las organizaciones internacionales, en particular de la OIEA (con un director muy discutido) y de Naciones Unidas que entre ambigüedades y una ausencia total en lo que respecta a sus funciones crean mayor escepticismo entre la población global que ya es testigo de los abusos inhumanos de los poderes occidentales.

A la luz de esto se hace más claro que nunca la necesidad de una administración de justicia internacional eficiente pero también eficaz para aplicar sanciones. Hasta tanto no se logre esto, seguiremos siendo testigos de acciones claramente ilegales y escandalosamente brutales permitidas por organismos parciales.

El comercio internacional se verá afectado por el ataque de EEUU y consecuentemente, afectará aún más a la situación económica interna algo que complicará sin dudas a la cohesión ya débil entre las filas de MAGA. Por supuesto que quienes entre los que festejan todo esto son los del Complejo Militar industrial angloestadounidense, pata importante del estado profundo que ven con ansias el inicio de una nueva guerra sin importar si se lleva a los EEUU a la ruina.  

Esta situación esta siendo observada y evaluada por los países del sur global -con excepción de algunos como Argentina- ya que son conscientes de que no hay nada peor para el comercio que la falta de seguridad y mucho peor una guerra. Con la decisión de Donald Trump, empuja aún más al mundo a una recesión que al parecer no advierte que se le volverá contra su propia economía.

Pero mientras Trump, Netanyahu y ese sector de la economía global (sostenida principalmente por los negocios financieros y la industria de la guerra) que se identifican en ese moribundo G-7, la cumbre del SPIEF en Rusia bajo el lema “Valores comunes: la base del crecimiento en un mundo multipolar” se expusieron ideas para el desarrollo económico-productivo y se intercambiaron posiciones empresariales contemplando las actuales circunstancias internacionales para un desarrollo equitativo y cooperativo regional con alcance global.

Con una multitudinaria participación a la sala de exposiciones, según el asesor presidencial ruso Anton Kobyakov, se cerraron 1060 acuerdos por un monto de 6.492 billones de rublos (80.300 millones de dólares).  

Para los días 29 al 31 el mes de octubre próximo ya está programado en el marco de los IMBRICS el FORO MUNICIPAL INTERNACIONAL que también se llevará a cabo en la ciudad de San Petersburgo y que promete nuevas conexiones.

De este modo, mientras el occidente angloestadounidense liderado por el presidente Donald Trump sigue avivando la desconfianza, el odio y el caos como parte de sostener una economía tóxica que saca ganancias de la guerra, el sur global y sus principales referentes dentro de los BRICS están trabajando en el sentido contrario con expectativas ciertas de un desarrollo más equitativo y cooperativo con un lineamiento claro: Valores comunes.     

  

UNA GUERRA DENTRO DE LA GUERRA

¿Cuál es el trasfondo real de la agresión iniciada por Israel contra Irán y a quiénes busca proteger?

 

Por Yossi Tevi

El ataque israelí del 12 de junio pasado no fue el producto de una magnifica planificación militar o el brillante accionar de los pilotos de las FDI como algunos medios en occidente (especialmente los pro-sionistas) lo presentan. El factor central que hizo la diferencia y que causó los daños con tanta profundidad en el esquema gubernamental iraní fue, el terrorismo.

Desde hace décadas que el Mossad ha estado tejiendo redes de espías y alcahuetes en toda la región, dedicados a operar contra el mundo árabe y especialmente contra Irán. Estas redes se constituyen con criminales de toda índole, opositores políticos y elementos pertenecientes a minorías (caso de los kurdos) que tengan aversión al gobierno. Tras la llegada de la revolución islámica en 1979, la CIA apoyándose en el partido Baath y la cooperación del gobierno de Iraq constituyó a comienzos de los ochenta a los “Muyahidin Al Kalq”, una organización terrorista armada y financiada por la CIA destinada a hostigar y desestabilizar a Irán. Tan pronto iniciaron sus actividades el Mossad los puso entre sus activos.

En los asesinatos de los científicos nucleares, de los principales funcionarios de las fuerzas armadas y de inteligencia del 12 de junio, tuvieron primordial importancia el accionar de células internas quienes tras acopiar Drones y explosivos y distribuirlos en camiones y camionetas por todo el país, pudieron actuar -coordinados desde Tel Aviv- mientras las defensas aéreas se distraían con los aviones israelíes. Esta misma táctica fue empleada en Siria, y contra Rusia, lo que lleva a preguntar ¿El Mossad coopera con el MI6 y la CIA en su asistencia a Kiev?

Por estas horas muchos de sus miembros han sido capturados, otros tal vez hayan podido huir y otros posiblemente hayan sido eliminados en el intento, pero todos estaban empleados por el Mossad.

La metodología empleada tiene una denominación muy clara: Terrorismo. No solamente por la finalidad de crear el terror y la conmoción dentro de la sociedad iraní sino, por los medios, los objetivos seleccionados y las consecuencias de sus ataques. Para graficar bien los daños de estos ataques cobardes, digamos que para matar a un funcionario estos sicarios del Mossad volaron sus residencias con toda su familia dentro. En realidad, esto no nos informa nada nuevo sobre el Mossad. Si para eliminar un blanco necesitan volar un restaurante con sus comensales, derribar un avión de lleno de pasajeros, un hotel o un mercado atiborrado de personas, o un complejo habitacional donde viven familias en medio de una ciudad, lo harán.

Esto pone a las claras de quién es quién en todo esto, ya que si atendemos a la constante y venenosa propaganda islamófoba y anti iraní que se radia en el hemisferio (especialmente en Buenos Aires), surgen muchas cuestiones que obviamente, no pueden ser respondidas por sus responsables y mucho menos por sus partidarios.

Mientras vemos como los misiles y los aviones van y vienen, hay una guerra clandestina tan cruenta como importante para lograr la supremacía. Por estas horas para Netanyahu y el establecimiento sionista los misiles hipersónicos que no pueden ser interceptados (aunque cueste creerlo) son una preocupación secundaria ¿Por qué? Según fuentes confiables, el motivo real de este “ataque preventivo” (una aberración ilegal) no fue por la existencia de (imaginarias) bombas nucleares o por el programa nuclear; ello radicó por el portentoso golpe a la inteligencia israelí que dolió mucho más que los misiles que cayeron con precisión sobre su cuartel general en Tel Aviv y otros centros de reunión de información. 

La división de ciber inteligencia iraní logro acceder a los archivos del Mossad, entre ellos los más sensibles para su seguridad interior y exterior. Siguiendo con esto, la importancia del material se divide en dos: Uno refiere a las armas nucleares israelíes y otro, a material sensible sobre secretos oscuros recopilados de altos funcionarios gubernamentales de los países más importantes del globo. En esta última categoría se revela la podredumbre sobre la que se sostiene el estado de Israel.

En la primera categoría, los informes obtenidos por una brillante operación en una combinación de inteligencia humana y cibernética, se obtuvieron informes donde se detalla (además de una clasificación del armamento recibido desde EEUU y la identidad de una veintena de espías de alto rango y sus contactos en la región) la conformación y alcance del programa nuclear israelí en su fas militar. Allí además de lo que se está desarrollando en Dimona, se detallan ubicaciones precisas de otras instalaciones de alto secreto. El éxito de esta operación requirió de ayuda dentro de Israel algo que -pese al silencio del gobierno- fue ratificado tras varias detenciones en mayo pasado de ciudadanos israelíes acusados de espionaje.

Pese al silencio mediático en el hemisferio y a no darse por aludido el régimen de Tel Aviv sobre esta catástrofe de inteligencia, solo el periódico israelí Jerusalem Post se hizo eco de todo esto con la publicación de un artículo fechado el 7 de junio pasado[1].

El otro bloque de información que la inteligencia iraní logro arrebatar al Mossad refiere a operaciones más escabrosas pero de muy conocida expertise como son las destinadas al chantaje sexual. De ese modo, en esas piezas se ventila conexiones, fuentes informativas, listados de personalidades (incluido el propio Netanyahu y su esposa) y detalles de sus vicios personales (especialmente de los vinculados a la pedofilia) que han estado siendo utilizados por Netanyahu y el estado profundo sionista para extorsionar y presionar a sus opositores internos, a personeros y a gobiernos enteros incluyendo por supuesto, al de los EEUU.

Benjamín Netanyahu ha tratado de enmendar este desastre dispuesto a crear un desastre mucho mayor, uno que distraiga la atención de la opinión pública de su gente y pueda borrar las revelaciones de esos voluminosos archivos que exponen la perversión y los crímenes cometidos para saciar esos bajos instintos. Pero, a pesar de la puñalada asestada, Irán se mantuvo en pie y es muy posible que hoy todos esos documentos ya se hallen desperdigados en muchos soportes ubicados en cualquier parte no solo de Irán, sino del mundo.

NUCLEAR LAW

What authority do the US and Israel have to allow or deny access to a sovereign nation's nuclear development? How murder and terrorism is disguised under the pseudonym of ‘pre-emptive strike’?

 

By Sidney Hey 

If rights are born out of necessity, when the subsistence of a nation is threatened there is no doubt that defence becomes a right-obligation. The warmongering diatribes that President Donald Trump has been ranting against Iran in recent hours are informing us of a very possible direct intervention in the escalation that Israel began with its ‘pre-emptive strike’.

Once again Trump is in evidence and shows that the campaign promises to end the wasteful spending that led to the economic-social crisis in which the state of the Union finds itself, were only a big ball of smoke that when it dissipates will show decisions as bad and harmful as those of his predecessors Bush and Biden. If he signs an executive order to mobilise military assets for the Persian Gulf it will entail an astronomical expenditure that will break the already critical economic situation of his country.

Rather than MAGA, we should speak of MIGA, i.e. ‘Make Israel Great Again’, revealing that Donald Trump (against the logic of everything he has promised and the interests of his own people) will mobilise all the resources and thus make all the necessary expenditures to support his colleague Netanyahu and his supremacist and racist regime in a dreadful war.

Let us emphasise that Donald Trump is not the real ruler in Washington DC, but the so-called ‘deep state’, although this does not excuse him for his bad performances that make him look like a fourth-rate vaudeville actor.

Israel has been the initiator of the aggressions, motivated mainly by the revealed (a few days earlier) blow to the Mossad following the leak of thousands of documents acquired by Tehran concerning its nuclear programme. Netanyahu, under pressure from his Establishment and obviously from his peers, took a decision that risks his own head. In addition to the humiliation it represents for Israeli intelligence, obtaining such information from its bitterest rival exposes Israel as an expansionist state with nuclear capability. And despite all the Western assistance it is receiving, Iran, using its right of self-defence and resistance, has pledged not to let crimes committed against Iranian sovereignty go unpunished. Let's remember that although in the first hours Trump claimed that he had nothing to do with Israel's decision, trying to hang on a supposed advantage achieved by the IDF, in the first 24 hours he changed his discourse and became aggressive and threatening.

As we can see and as we already knew, Trump is a pathological liar who is no longer fooling anyone. Only a few months into his term in office he has already broken all his campaign promises and this is something that his own supporters have already realised, leading to fractures within his supporters.

While Israel receives all this military support and strives to collapse the Persian country, Tehran has already received support from neighbours and other Asian actors willing to unite against this Anglo-Zionist aggression (exposed by the mobilisation of British and US Royal Navy ships in the Gulf waters). Pakistan, as soon as it learned of the Israeli attack, offered its cooperation to cover its back, recalling that this Muslim nation has a nuclear capability. On this last point, we should not lose sight of how India and especially the government of Narendra Modi, who is very close to Benjamin Netanyahu, will manoeuvre.

Also in the last few hours, intelligence sources from Pyongyang, North Korean President Kim Jong Un has declared that ‘Tehran is not alone in this fight. The North Korean military is on high alert’, setting a highly complex context that Donald Trump and his defence officials cannot overlook since, in addition to having developed its own nuclear weapons capability, North Korea has in its possession its own hypersonic missiles capable of carrying a weaponised warhead.

Kim Jong Un's warning is not mere rhetoric. The US and its Atlanticist partners have tried for decades and by all means to prevent his nation from developing its own nuclear programme. North Korea's response has been to persist and increase its research to achieve the capabilities it has today that have kept Washington and its puppet in Seoul at bay in their attempts to stop it.

The truth is that whether or not Iran was developing a nuclear programme, there is no excuse, let alone any international legislation, to prevent it from doing so. But if there were any doubts about this, the declarations of the Argentine Rafael Grossi in charge of the IAEA, despite his ambiguities (certainly very suspicious), clear up all the speculation that Washington and Tel Aviv have tried to present as truth.

Unlike Israel, Iran has been subjected to inspections and questioning with no evidence of military nuclear developments. Yet the world expects the same IAEA to take the same interest in Dimona, or rather, the 100 nuclear missile silos it houses at bases in the Negev desert.

In light of the facts and Israel's record of how (in addition to committing genocide) it advances on any other sovereignty, bombing or committing terrorist acts against officials and civilians (Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and now Iran) without answering to international law, much less to the United Nations, Tehran has many arguments on which to sustain its right not only to defence, but also to the preservation of its nation given that, as we are seeing today, the Western powers that support Israel are in open preparation for a similar aggression (contrary to Chapter VII of the UN Charter) to the one orchestrated in 2003 against Iraq through a big ball of lies.
