What we are witnessing in Iran today is media warfare, psychological
warfare, and asymmetric warfare. Depleting the enemy from within this
is all part and parcel of modern warfare (http://pakistankakhudahafiz.wordpress.com/2009/04/11/hegemony-or-survival/).


Before we get into what is going on in Iran we need to understand
why the chaos is going on and real reasons behind the political crisis.


After 9/11, the U.S and its allies started the plan to redraw the map of
the Middle East, which U.S think tanks and leaders call the 'New Middle
East' (NME). You might remember that Condi Rice often used the term
'birth pangs of the new Middle East', when referring to the ongoing
violence in Iran and Palestine. The plan is to create a NME, with new
borders for all nations of the Middle East. The NME is in essence
Greater Israel. The area that Zionist believes must be under their
control for their messiah to come to earth. Greater Israel requires,
control of Iraq, parts of Syria, Turkey, Egypt along river Nile, entire
Jerusalem, parts of Jordan as well as controlling parts of Saudi
Arabia. Creating NME or Greater Israel also requires controlling
certain countries through either direct invasion or through puppet
proxy rulers. Iraq and Afghanistan are examples of direct military
invasions. Pakistan is an example of neutralizing a country through
proxy-puppet governments of Musharraf and now Zardari. The focus of
Obama's administration will be on Pakistan and Iran.



Map of New Middle East


Iran cannot be attacked militarily without mass casualties and
regional catastrophe. The history of Iran tells us that the country was far
more advanced in producing home-grown leadership than any of its Arab
neighbors, but in 1953, Mossadegh, a nationalist, home-grown,
democratically elected leader of Iran was kicked out by a CIA/MI6
covert operation that bought the Shah into power. The details are
explained eloquently by Stephen Kinzer in his books, 'Overthrown', and
'All the Shah's Men: An American Coup and the Roots of Middle East
Terror'. The CIA bribed Iranian government officials, businessmen,
reporters, and paid people to protest in the streets of Tehran. Such
was the level to CIA penetration in that operation.



According to Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Secretary Treasury
under President Regan, "Today, the street demonstrations in Tehran show
signs of orchestration. The protesters, primarily young people,
especially young women opposed to the dress codes, carry signs written
in English: "Where is My Vote?" The signs are intended for the western
media-not for the Iranian government. On American TV, the protesters
who are interviewed speak perfect English. They are either westernized
secular Iranians who were allied with the Shah and fled to the West
during the 1978 Iranian revolution or they are the young Westernized
residents of Tehran".


Since the last two decades U.S and Britain have covertly been
supplying money and logistics to bring about a change of regime in
Iran. The U.S believes that Iran is its natural ally in the Middle
East. That was achieved under Shah of Iran, when U.S and Israel enjoyed
extremely cordial relationship with Iran. In order to change the
borders of the Middle East, Iran's support is a must. Iran can't be
taken to task by B-52 bombers, so plan B is to somehow change this
government and hierarchy of Ayatollah's and install a puppet government
under the urban jargon of, 'democracy, freedom of rights, emancipation
of Iranian women, etc'. To do that millions of dollars are being spent
to put as much internal pressure on the Iranian government as possible and
to make a villain out of Ahmedinejad and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
According to Paul Roberts, the U.S has been giving money to underground
Marxists groups like Mujahedeen-e-Khalq, small restive ethnic
minorities like Azeries, Kurds, under the so called 'Iran Democracy
Program'. Not to mention terrorist groups like Jandullah, that are covertly
supported by CIA, as Iran has always claimed. The CIA works through the National
Endowment for Democracy (NED), Freedom House, Open Society Institute,
Council for Democratic Change in Iran, and other such organizations. All
we need to know about NED is this quote from one of its founding
members, Allen Weinstein, "A lot of what we do today was done covertly
25 years ago by the CIA". (For in depth coverage of U.S covert
operations in Iran follow this (http://globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=14095)


According to veteran journalist Eric Margolis, the problem is that
Ahmedinejad is a villain in the western media, especially Israeli media.
No wonder the head of Mossad Meir Dagan, voiced his hope that Ahmedinejad
would remain in office. Dagan believes that if Mossavi is in office it
will be harder for Israel to keep up its propaganda against Iran's
nuclear program.


What happens in Iran over the next few days will have ripple effects
in the entire Middle East, the government of Lebanon is under the control of
America and Saudi Arabia, but the street power remains in the hands of
Hezbollah. If Iran were to fall and become U.S ally again, then Syria and
Lebanon would still remain under Iran and the U.S scope of influence, but no
longer under the Saudi radar. The U.S would shift its capital in Middle
East from Riyadh to Tehran, reminiscent of the time during the Shah's rule. Iran has its own
disputes with the Arab world. A proxy Iran government will be used to
create trouble with the Arab world. The disputes will revolve around
control of Iraqi oil, Kuwait, Bahrain (Iran claims Bahrain as its
province), and South Saudi oil fields. A U.S proxy Iran is something
that the Muslim world must defy at all costs. A political crisis
between Arab world and Iran will have massive fallout in Pakistan,
which is already battling for its survival. During and after the
Iran-Iraq war, many proxy outfits were created in Pakistan by both Iran
and Iraq, which created a massive law-and-order problem for Pakistan. The CIA
is also trying to create trouble in Iran through Pakistani Balochistan,
where Jandullah leader Abdul Malik Regi is also hiding. Pakistan must
be aware of all this and must not be part of any such clandestine CIA
operation and must keep clean of vested
agendas against Iran. We must support Iranian President and Supreme
Leader Khamenei in this time of hardship. If the Pakistani government
doesn't show support, then at least the people must show support for Iranian
leadership. There are problems in Iran but they must be solved by home
grown nationalist leaders, not CIA sponsored proxy puppet rulers.
