As the newly elected President on November 5th, \u2018acting\u2019 President Donald J. Trump is considering an escalation in US policy against Iran.\u00a0 <\/span>Trump\u2019s transition team is reportedly considering \u2018preemptive<\/i>\u2019 air strikes citing a \u20182.1 maximum pressure\u2019<\/i> campaign against Tehran to bloc development of an Iranian nuclear weapons program.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The transition team is said to be in the early stages of deliberation as Iran is capable of producing fissile material<\/span><\/a> at near weapons grade level of 60% purity.\u00a0 <\/span>It is still speculative but the Trump Administration may be open to supporting a 2.1 strike against the Islamic Republic\u2019s nuclear facilities located at Natanz, Fordow and Isfahan and may possibly include a joint US \u2013 Israel military operation.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n It would be of supreme interest to identify participants of the Trump team and to know how many committed Zionists are making this recommendation to the President who promised to bring peace in the Middle East.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Meanwhile the Middle East is on fire as air strikes and a ground campaign continue in Gaza while the IDF ceasefire with Hezbollah is on shaky ground in Lebanon, thousands of American troops are still in eastern Syria and NATO attacked Russia in retaliation for an attack on Ukraine energy and military facilities<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0 <\/span>The surprise upsurge o<\/span><\/a>f militant jihadists in Syria, many of whom are Zionists, are redefining the Middle East as it augurs well for the thirty year realignment into the Greater Israel<\/em> strategic objective.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Despite media claims of popular support for the Islamist rebels, former Jihadist Abu Mohammad al-Jolani has set himself up as leader of Syria\u2019s HTS islamist faction<\/span><\/a> and has reached out to Putin.\u00a0 <\/span>The HTS are currently in control of the violence and chaos, threatening Syria\u2019s Christian population with US weapons and acting as a facade for the Zionist expansion throughout much of the Middle East.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n As the landscape continues to rapidly shift with the dramatic collapse of al Bashar Assad\u2019s 24 year old government, an ally of Iran who refused to recognize Israel even after a two decade brutal \u2018civil\u2019 war.\u00a0 <\/span>While Teheran\u2019s overthrow has been a long term Zionist goal as it appeared on the original post-911 list of seven countries to be toppled in five years (a little behind schedule) Iran claims the second most Jewish citizens in the Middle East, only after Israel.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n While Trump will inherit increased military conflicts and civilian disasters that Biden and Blinken are leaving behind, his foreign policy plate is already full with potential humanitarian tragedies and catastrophes.\u00a0 <\/span>Trump has made no secret of his preference for the Zionists, rather than the Palestinians, and as war against Iran has been a long term Zionist goal, will Trump be able to withstand Netanyahu\u2019s presumptions and expectations that the US will prop up the IDF\u2019s latest military escapade in search of Greater Israel domination.<\/span><\/p>\n We cannot fully contemplate Trump\u2019s foreign policy decision making until we better understand adoption and rejection of the (JCPOA) Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0 <\/span>The intent of the JCPOA was to limit Iran\u2019s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.\u00a0 <\/span>Formal negotiations began in November, 2013 with final agreement occurring July, 2015 between Iran, five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council (China, Russia, the US and UK and France) and the European Union.\u00a0 <\/span>The agreement was opposed by the US, Israel and Saudi Arabia. The agreement was also known as UN Security Council Resolution 2231<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The IAEA<\/span><\/a>\u00a0 <\/span>(International Atomic Energy Association) would have regular access to all Iranian facilities to monitor compliance as Iran became a signatoree<\/span><\/a> of the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty<\/span><\/a> NNPT in 1970 while Israel is one of world\u2019s few remaining nations that has never endorsed the NNPT.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n In October, 2017 US President Trump announced that the US would not make the certification necessary under US law and by May, 2018, Trump announced the US precipitate withdrawal<\/span><\/a> from the JCPOA as UN Security Council members (France, UK and Germany) continued to endorse the nuclear deal as the “binding international legal framework for the resolution of the dispute<\/i>“.[7]<\/sup><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Meanwhile, as Israel and the US remain opposed to the JCPA makes no logical sense.\u00a0 <\/span>If there is a legitimate concern of Iran building and creating its own nuclear facilities and weapons, then it would seem essential for the JCPA to remain \u2018en force\u2019 to establish the framework to limit Iran\u2019s nuclear program.\u00a0 <\/span>To eliminate the JCPA from consideration would seem naively oblivious to the fact that without a JCPA, any legitimate restraints are removed\u00a0 <\/span>from creating a viable nuclear program \u2013 but of course both the US and Israel are fully aware of the potential for an escalation as Iran has been rebuilding<\/span><\/a> its nuclear program.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span>In addition, Trump would benefit from a staff briefing about a familiar trajectory that the BRICS have strenuously objected to; that is applying maximum pressure to the hegemon\u2019s tight requirement for economic sanctions sufficient to cripple Iran\u2019s economy.\u00a0 <\/span>As the US has routinely used economic sanctions as a state of war; if any of the BRICS or its neighbors refuse to comply with hegemon demands, then sanctions are\u00a0 <\/span>required. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n It is elementary to understand that because of rapacious demand for fiscal punishment, nations are flocking to join BRICS as a safe alternative t avoid pain and suffering to their country or would contribute to WW III when an easy alternative would be to join BRICS. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
