As the articles indicate below, written over a decade ago, I've always been in favour of a strategic alliance between the United States and Iran, despite my revulsion for the Ayatollah' regime. It just makes rational sense to form a grand alliance.
And, as the last month and a half showed, a prolonged war between the two sides would be catastrophic. It is not in the national interests of either America or Iran to engage in permanent hostilities. Ultimately both will lose.
I. Towards A Grand Bargain Between America And Iran
"An American-Israeli attack on Iran will achieve nothing but further destroy the American economy and America's image. It must be prevented. Instead of getting worried about non-existent nuclear weapons in Iran, America must look inward and worry about collapsing infrastructure, rampant financial corruption, economic collapse, citizen distrust, and political discontent. Going to war with Iran will not solve these problems, but exacerbate them." - End of The Great Satan Narrative: Why An American-Iranian Truce Is Not So Far-Fetched, November 3, 2012.
"For America to survive as a nation it must be firm with both Israel and Palestine, and avoid a war with Iran. The problems that America must fix are an excessive national debt, a bad economy, immigration problems, border challenges, and a severe political crisis that springs from long-standing treasonous policies by the Democratic-Republican leadership which benefit a small, politically powerful class, but harm the livelihoods and security of the majority of the American people.
I am highly skeptical that America will cut off ties with Israel, AIPAC, and Neocons. Washington and Tel Aviv are a siamese twin of evil, separating one from the other would automatically cause the death of both, if the separation is not done with great care and skill. An attack on Iran will unite them, but for the worse. It will then become clear to all that the special marriage between America and Israel that was born in hell and maintained under Satan's good graces can only die in hell. And, ironically, it will be a hell of their own making."
I'll end this article by quoting journalist and author Alan Hart. In his article called, "Israel’s attack on the USS Liberty – The full story," Hart writes: "The lesson of this cold-blooded, murderous attack was that there is nothing the Zionist state might not do, to its friends as well as its enemies, in order to get its own way." - 45 Reasons Why America Should Cut Off Ties With Israel, AIPAC And The Neocons, June 7, 2012.
"Experts agree that an American-Iranian rapprochement will bring much needed peace, stability, and prosperity to the Middle East. Any nation that tries to torpedo this pragmatic effort is working against peace, economic growth, and regional stability." - Gulf Feudal Lords Are Scared That America And Iran Will Make A Deal, November 30, 2012.
"Hillary Mann Leverett: Yes, but if I can just come back to a point that you were just discussing with Ali that I think is very important in terms of the balance of power in the region, you know, in the 1980s, the Israelis were not at all concerned about Iran’s nuclear program. They weren’t at all concerned about many of Iran’s other activities that they now profess concern about. In fact, in the 1980s, the United States wanted to impose sanctions on Iran for our concern about their connection to the bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut. And the then Israeli government, in a live interview by the then Minister Ariel Sharon, said that Israel would oppose sanctions being—they would oppose sanctions being imposed on Iran. That changes in 1990, not because of any change in Iranian behavior, but because the Iraqi military was essentially taken out after the invasion of Kuwait and the U.S. routing of Iraq from Kuwait. Literally six months after that, in early 1992, you have the first visit to Washington by then Prime Minister Rabin, who’s considered more dovish than the current prime minister, Netanyahu, and it was then that Rabin started to raise concerns about Iran’s nuclear program and the prospect of sanctions. And it was then, in 1995, that the United States first imposes its comprehensive economic embargo on Iran. So I think it’s important to understand that even though Prime Minister Netanyahu’s rhetoric is very vitriolic, there is something deeper in terms of Israeli concerns about the rise of Iran in the region, that could check Israel’s, what I would call, reckless impulses vis-à-vis its neighbors." - Hillary Mann Leverett Calls GOP Letter To Iran "Reckless" And Says President Obama Should Make A Stronger, Strategic Case For Rapprochement With Iran, March 13, 2015.
II. 5 Ceasefire Predictions
1. A Nuclear 9/11 event takes place in a Democratic majority city like Chicago, perpetuated by Mossad, to be blamed on rogue IRGC elements dissatisfied with their political leaders' decision to agree to a ceasefire and eventual peace agreement with the United States.
2. The assassination of President Trump by Mossad to be blamed either on a Muslim patsy, a Kurdish militant, or a Pakistani Shiite.
3. Iran’s military leaders, emboldened by their war with the United States and Israel, capitalize on the political momentum at home by committing thousands of political executions of minorities, political activists, spies, dissidents, and youthful protesters.
4. The United States, Israel, and their regional proxies regroup militarily, rebuild defenses, and transfer new equipment to initiate further hostilities against the Islamic Republic when it has its guard down.
5. Iran and its militias in Iraq and Lebanon launch a war against Syria and Iraqi Kurdistan simultaneously, removing the emerging security threat that Jolani's regime poses to the Islamic Republic and Iraq.
