The
Unz Review – 13/06/2025
It’s no wonder
Washington is all in. This is now the Circus Ringmaster War.
Let’s cut to the chase.
The devastating attack on Iran by the psychopathological genocidal "chosen" ethno-supremacist set up in Tel Aviv – a de facto
declaration of war – was coordinated in detail with the President
of the United States, Circus Ringmaster Donald Trump.
This
infantilism-afflicted Narcissus Drowned in the Pool of his Own Image
gave away the game, himself, in a rambling post. Selected highlights:
"I gave Iran chance
after chance to make a deal". No “deal”; actually his
unilateral demands. After all, he torpedoed the original deal, the
JCPOA, because it was not his "deal".
"I told them it
would be much worse than anything they know, anticipated, or were
told." The decision to strike had already been made.
"Certain Iranian
hardliners spoke bravely, but (…) they are all DEAD now, and it
will only get worse!" Gloating comes with the territory.
"The next already
planned attacks being even more brutal." Total alignment with
the trademark Israeli "decapitation" strategy.
"Iran must make a
deal, before there is nothing left, and save what was once known as
the Iranian Empire." It was Persian (italics mine)
Empire – but after all this is a man who doesn’t read, or study.
Notice the Art of Diplomacy: Take my deal, or drop dead.
This – incandescent –
decade was launched by an assassination, of Gen. Soleimani in
Baghdad, as I emphasized in my 2021 book Raging
Twenties. He was on a diplomatic mission. The green light
personally came from then President of the United States, Donald
Trump.
The mid-Raging Twenties
is now hurled to the brink of a devastating war in West Asia, with
global repercussions, by the serial assassination of the IRGC
leadership, in Tehran, by the psycho-genocidal Zionist entity. After
an elaborate kabuki of deception, the green light to Tel Aviv – go
ahead and do it – also came from the President of the United
States, Trump 2.0 (who claimed he was "aware’" of the attacks).
A pre-emptive war
against the BRICS
The psycho-pathological
genocidal masterplan is to force Tehran to capitulate – without
even putting up a fight. The preamble kabuki was masterfully
executed. The indirect nuclear negotiations in Oman were taken
seriously in Tehran, lulling the Iranian leadership, civilian and
military, to sleep. They fell into the trap and were caught,
literally, in their sleep.
Ayatollah Khamenei –
who himself is in physical danger, as Israel is applying the same
decapitation model it unleashed on Hezbollah – has a very tough
decision to make: capitulation or total war. It will be total war –
and with the U.S. as a direct participant.
The Iranian leadership –
actually more the Pezeshkian presidency, crammed with proponents of
an "accommodation" with the West – was induced into a false
sense of security, forgetting that serial killers don’t do
diplomacy.
So the price to pay now,
for Iran, will be even more unbearable. Tehran will respond –
assuming capabilities are still in place. In this case its oil
industry runs the risk of being destroyed. It’s an open question
whether two other top BRICS members alongside Iran – Russia and
China -, for different reasons, will allow that to happen.
And were we about to
enter this particular dangerous territory, Iran can play the ultimate
card: shut down the Strait of Hormuz and collapse the global economy.
The attack on Iran, fully
endorsed by the Empire of Chaos, is above all a pre-emptive attack on
the BRICS energy core. It’s part and parcel of the imperial war
against BRICS, especially Russia-China. Moscow and Beijing must be
drawing the necessary conclusions in real time.
Iran, China and Russia
are linked by interlocked strategic partnerships. Last month, I was
in Iran tracking the progress of the International North South
Transportation Corridor (INSTC), which links Russia, Iran and India.
This is only one among a series of key strategic infrastructure
projects that will solidify even more Eurasian economic connectivity.
A devastating war in West Asia, and a collapsing Iran, will represent
a killer blow to increased Eurasia integration.
That’s exactly what
suits the Empire’s designs.
So it’s no wonder
Washington is all in. This is now the Circus Ringmaster War.
A devastating
response; a nuclear weapon; or capitulation
Tehran’s message is, "We did not start the war, but Iran will determine how it ends."
The burning question is
whether they still retain a significant deterrent – and offensive –
capacity.
The genocidals are
hitting ballistic missile storage systems at will in Iran’s
northwest and even civilian Mehrabad airport in Tehran. Air defenses
are nowhere to be seen. It’s immensely painful to watch.
IDF spin – nothing
verified so far – claims that some missile silos and mobile
complexes were destroyed even before they were placed on combat
alert. Yet the fact is that the overwhelming majority of Iran’s
vast arsenal of ballistic missiles is stored in deep, deep
underground silos and tunnels, capable of withstanding massive air
strikes and overloaded air defenses.
For the moment, Tehran is
eerily silent. That makes sense, because they need, in record time,
to re-establish a unified chain of command which was smashed by the
attacks; make sure that missile launchers can be deployed and not be
neutralized by Israeli air supremacy; reorganize the True Promise 3
operation, which was ready to go, as some of us learned in Tehran
last month, but now adapted to the new situation (losses included);
and plan how to deliver painful blows to Israel’s economic
infrastructure.
There is no evidence that
the attacks destroyed Iran’s nuclear infrastructure – which is
buried deep underground. As it stands, the leadership in Tehran is
learning the hard way that diplomacy – committees, letters to the
UN, statements to the IAEA, ministerial meetings – all that is
eviscerated when it comes to the law of the jungle.
Iranians were naïve
enough to let the IAEA visit their strategic sites, when proverbial
spies collected all the info they needed to facilitate Israeli
strikes. The DPRK would have never fall into such a trap.
The elimination of a top
figure such as Ali Shamkhani, Khamenei’s key advisor, Iran’s lead
nuclear negotiator, with decades of influence across the IRGC and
intelligence apparatus, is a serious blow.
Systematically erasing
Iran’s military and diplomatic leadership in a matter of hours fits
the rationale of smashing Khamenei’s close circle. That has started
long ago with the Trump-ordered killing of Soleimani and certainly
includes the mysterious death of former President Raisi and FM
Abdollahian in that dodgy helicopter "accident". It’s all about
creating the conditions for regime change.
On a rare auspicious
note, the IRGC let it be known, before the attacks, that they have
been developing a secret technology to intensify the impact of its
missiles on Israel.
We are all riders on the
storm now. Once again, there’s no way out: either a devastating
blow to the psycho genocidals, or Iran assembles a nuclear weapon in
no time. The third option is capitulation, emasculation, and regime
change.
Meanwhile, the whole
planet is hostage to a lethal threat. Andrea Zhok is professor of
Moral Philosophy at the University of Milan, and apart from his
brilliant analyses, he wrote the preface of the Italian edition of my
book Raging Twenties, published last year.
Prof. Zhok has succinctly
pointed out how no political construction in modern history has
amassed a toxic combination of messianic ethnic supremacism; supreme
disregard for human life (everyone else, not "chosen", is "amalek" anyway); supreme disregard for international law; and
unlimited access to lethal firepower.
So what is to be done
with such a voracious, out of control death cult?
