We want to live; the web of revolution in Iran is always ready to burst.Especially for us here in the West, where it takes very little time to become a revolutionary in the guise of others, rather than lying on the sofa at dinner time.
The trap of revolution is always ready to spring in Iran.Especially here in the West, it takes very little to make us revolutionaries on the couch at dinner time and under other people's skin.A few days ago when the markets in Tehran started protesting the collapse of the real against the dollar and inflation, people thought that if one of the pillars of the 1979 revolution turned rebels, it would be the beginning of the end of the Ayatollahs.But while the protests continue, perhaps even this time, we will not see the collapse of the regime from within, however unbearable it may be, after it suffered a terrible blow in Lebanon (Hezbollah), the fall of Assad in Syria and the 12-day war against his own nuclear test sites last June.
What goes on, in addition to the lack of protest leadership, is Trump, Israel, and we, the Europeans, who follow US sanctions all the time, with no diplomatic choice, no matter what the Zionist-American axis decides.But this is nothing new.Even more interesting is the departure of Trump, who claimed on social media that the United States would come to their aid if Iran shot its protesters peacefully as usual.We are ready. ”Israel also appears to want to openly express its support for Iran's protests, as the Times of Israel reports that the Foreign Ministry's Persian-language accounts have published a series of cartoons to celebrate anti-regime rallies.
Will they, the Americans and the Israelis, make a revolution in Iran?You wouldn't believe it even if Paul Thomas Anderson wrote the screenplay for a hypothetical film on this topic (one battle after another).And above all, we do not believe in this in light of the failed precedents of exporting democracy, from Afghanistan to Iraq and Libya.So much so that Trump (and the mega movement) against all these wars that are considered "useless" loves a dictator like Putin, cynical and bloodthirsty, with whom he can collude and do business at the expense of Ukraine, international law, democracy and those disappointed Europeans.
In the case of Iran, after the United States abandoned Shah Palhevi at the end of 1979, even the citizens of Iran do not trust US aid, although they are sometimes fooled.Of course, the United States of America and Israel (not only them) continue to support formations such as the Mujahideen Khalq (Mek) and the Washington-based sons of Shah Reza who are busy polishing the crown of the Peacock Chair.
In fact, it is certainly not democracy that interests Trump or Israel.In fact, a truly democratic Iran, with its own history and culture, and an independent Middle Eastern hub could become a problem.As it is already taking shape, even though it has been under sanctions for 45 years and in the hands of the West, it has forced itself to ally itself with Moscow and China.
Today's Iran, under a Shiite clerical regime supported by the Pasdarani military wing, is the perfect enemy.It serves to keep tension high in the Middle East, not reduce it or even a simulacrum of democracy.Look at Trump.He likes the Syrian leader Al Shaara, a former murderous jihadist who allows Israel to occupy the Golan, Turkey in the north of the country, the Americans to carry out raids against ISIS, in exchange for the suppression of the Druze and Alawites, people who even the American president has no doubts about.But above all, Trump likes to include all the sheikhs of the Gulf in the Abrahamic Treaty with Israel, the best customers of American weapons and American funds.
From Iran, where he traveled with Warren Beatty and Jack Nicholson in 1978 (before the revolution), Trump can be interested in oil, gas and minerals, which will now be sold to the Chinese.He doesn't care about Iran's democracy.But he is ready to follow Netanyahu's agenda if you are going to hit Tehran.Of course, after the attacks by Israel and the United States on Iran, the whole world wondered what happened to the 450 kilos of Uranium in the hands of the government, a mystery that has never been solved.Trump and Netanyahu may have talked about it in the past few days at Mar a Lago.The bombings last June only put a stop to Iran's nuclear program, but according to experts they did not "eliminate" it.This would be a good reason for them to intervene again in a military, certainly not democratic way.
Iran does not have a nuclear weapon, but it could have (even if it never will), it is still dangerous for Israel but not too much, its allies like Hezbollah and Hamas have been dealt terrible blows and their fate is apparently no longer in Tehran's hands as it once was.This leaves Yemen's Houthis, Tehran's "proxy" and the thorn in its side.Red Sea, where Israel has already reached an agreement with the Saudis and some African allies (Somaliland).Iran is waging a war in the Middle East to assert Israel's regional dominance.The "perfect" enemy is still useful.
