Air and sea force build-up as terror state aids terror state
The US has continued its build-up of forces against Iran as the Trump looks to neutralise all resistance to Israel’s genocide in Gaza:
The same forces could easily be deployed against Yemen, which the US has claimed is its target – and has continued its UK-aided slaughter of Yemeni civilians – but it seems clear that either cowing or attacking Iran is its aim.
Iran – like the Yemenis – shows no sign of giving into US posturing or aggression. The Iranian military spent the first three months of this year in military exercises showcasing its latest weaponry and now has at least three underground ‘missile cities’ capable of deploying missiles capable of reaching as far as 2,000km, according to analysis by Al Jazeera – which is not friendly toward Iran – and an underground naval base equipped with anti-ship projectiles with a range of 1,000km.
US action against Iran could easily lead to a global economic meltdown, with US bases as well as oil wells, refineries and shipping all within range. Few doubt that Trump would be willing to trigger such a meltdown to support Israel’s state terror against the Palestinians and neighbouring Lebanon and Syria, potentially even Egypt and Turkey – Israeli media have been manfacturing public consent for war on Turkey, claiming it poses a threat to Zionist interests because of its influence over some Syrian forces. Whether US military chiefs would ever step in to thwart Trump and prevent a global crisis seems a tenuous hope at best.
