- Israel's assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists
is intended to provoke a belligerent response that would cause the US to
make war on Iran, as pointed out by a segment in mainstream Chris
Matthews' "Hardball" TV program--especially comments of
former CIA officer Robert Baer. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036697/#45978020
-
- There seems to be little doubt, according to Baer, that
these assassinations have been an Israeli operation, but the weakening
effect on Iran's nuclear program is far less significant than the fact
that this could easily provoke Iranian retaliation and achieve the desired
US/Iranian war. (I would add that if Iran refuses to respond in a belligerent
fashion, there is also the possibility of an Israeli false flag attack
against US citizens which could be blamed on Iran.)
-
- Matthews should be given credit for allowing mention
of the effort of Israel to manipulate the US into a Middle East war,
which is a mainstream taboo. Of course, Israel has been pushing for war
with Iran for over a decade; and the Israel lobby in the US has been making
the effort to have US Middle East policy coincide with Israeli interests.
-
- The neocon Middle East war agenda certainly included
regime change in Iran, though it sought much more. Saddam Hussein's
Iraq, being perceived as the weak link, would be the first step for the
elimination of all regimes hostile to Israel in the region. The
neocons sought to make Iran the Bush administration's second major target
and were successful in creating a more hostile US policy toward that
country, but they were unsuccessful in bringing about war due to
resistance from influential establishment non-neocons within and
outside the Bush II administration and the diminishing desire of
the American people for war, which had been white hot after the terror
attacks of 9/11. I go over this history in my book "The Transparent
Cabal: The Neoconservative Agenda, War in the Middle East, and the National
Interest of Israel."
