The Tournament of Shadows of the 21st century

By Claudio Resta | VT

Many say:

”This is clearly Israel’s war against Iran, through that successful but ultimately failed regime change, the assassination of Khamenei, which resulted in an even more aggressive and resilient succession of a government determined to do as much damage as possible to Israel.”

”And possibly to expel eventually the Americans from the Middle East.”

I think all this is true but in my opinion there is something more behind this war…

Behind and besides the appearance of a war waged by Israel alone with the United States against Iran (which is nevertheless true): a much broader, secret global war for the XXI century’s division of the world, the outcome of which was decided last year before the beginning of this war.

Despite of the fact that the Israelis would probably say that that attack had to happen sooner or later anyway.

As also the more religious of Zionists, but still revisionist, let me point it, even claim it’s the final war between Gog and Magog.

Because at least since Ayatollah Khomeini, returning to Iran from exile on February 1st, took power as Supreme Leader just four days after February 5th, 1979, Iran became the most irreducible and implacable enemy of Israel.

Do not forget also that Reza Shah Pahlavi (previously Reza Khan 15 March 1878 – 26 July 1944) Shah of Iran from 1925 to 1941 and founder of the Pahlavi dynasty was a Nazi ally of Hitler and was deposed by the Allies during WWII exactly for that reason.

So that there is a tradition in that sense, not exactly Jew-friendly… even if in Iran today lives a Jewish community that is respected and lives peacefully. So they tell, at least.

Ever since the time Khomeini defined the United States as the ”Great Satan” of the world and Israel its ally as the ”Little Satan”, the relationship between Iran, the US, and Israel became clear.

These sentiments were reciprocated by American and Israeli policy over the next half century, the events of which I omit to describe, as they would be superfluous.

I don’t even care, for the purposes of this discussion, whether Netanyahu is alive or dead.

Despite the enormous importance of the figure in the role he played in convincing Trump to unexpectedly go to war against Iran on February 28th, in the manner in which he did.

Personally, I believe Netanyahu is dead or in critical condition due to his absences from Israel’s Defense Council during its last eight wartime meetings.

What PM could afford to be absent from a defense council when his country is under retaliatory attacks?

But as I’ve already said, none of this interests me.

What does interest me are the roles of the three great powers—the US, China, and Russia—in this war.

Because the least that can be said about the roles of the three great powers—the US, China, and Russia in the present conflict is that the behavior of their leaders is opaque, ambiguous, incoherent and elusive, and, in Trump’s case, also very, very contradictory, given that he changes his narrative almost near daily.

As if the leaders of the great powers were unwilling or unable to publicly reveal the truth by providing us publicly with a convenient version.

For example, it is clear, as Putin himself has admitted and as evidenced by the facts, many facts, that Russia and/or China are providing significant support to Iran as well as providing it with very advanced and powerful weapon.

In terms of intelligence, satellite surveillance, and perhaps even acquisition and targeting.

How else to explain the surgical precision of the attack on Netanyahu’s bunker on March 9, in which his brother was killed, Ben Gvir wounded and other high ranking officials certainly died, but Bibi himself was perhaps killed. But the last proposition was revealed only two days ago while the attack was launched on March 9.

Or perhaps maybe Netanyahu was transported to Germany in critical condition aboard Israeli presidential plane, the Wing of Zion after the attack and because of its consequences.

But why all this support from Russia and China for Iran?

Well, Russia has its motives: Ukraine and the availability of Iranian made drones, as well as a the benefits of a significant rise in oil prices, being a seller.

And China too has its motives of easing the ships transit through Hormuz as well as the availability of most of the oil necessary for its economy on favorable terms.

But in my opinion, there’s still something else they’re not telling us, because for China, making the Liaowang-1 ship available is a more than generous gesture, given that it will later be used to capture Taiwan, I believe.

So, risking to lose such a unique resource just to help an ally as Iran is like for China engage in a proxy war.

What lies behind it, in my opinion, is to that this war ”must” be won by Iran not in its own interests but mainly in the overwhelming one of China.

That after having won militarily, through de-dollarization, the Renminbi will become the world’s new reserve currency and China will succeed the American Empire as it did the United Kingdom just like what happened after Bretton Woods in 1944!

Moreover, Iran has declared that it will allow anyone who pays for oil in Renminbi to cross the Strait of Hormuz.

This action too pushes toward de-dollarization.

A new global Chinese Empire, and, at this point, the annexation of Taiwan will be little more than a formality.
