Iran: Asymmetric War Has Already Been Launched
15 November 2011
Asymmetric war against Iran has already begun, and the fuse for World War III has already been lit. The only sane course of action now is to remove Obama from the Presidency as Lyndon LaRouche said today in his statement, "LaRouche: To Stop World War III, Obama Must be Removed from Office Now." With Obama in Asia, British Foreign Secretary William Hague in London, and fascist Netanyahu in Israel all threatening Iran with war, time is running out. The covert war is in play in three areas identified so far: terrorism, technological warfare, and assassinations. Terrorism: On November 12, an explosion at an Iranian ammunition depot outside of Tehran killed 17 members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Command, the IRGC, including two top officers. Brig. Gen. Hassan Moghadam of the IRGC was one of the people killed, and he was actually the leader of the Iranian missile research program, and therefore a very important figure in the Israeli to launch a military strike on Iran. According to a well-informed Washington intelligence source, recent advances in Iran’s missile delivery capabilities is one of the main factors in Netanyahu’s rush to war. Although the missile research breakthrough is NOT nuclear specific, Iran’s ability to have a long-range missile to hit Israel, even with conventional weapons is considered a casus belli by some Israeli war-hawks. The connection between the ammunition depot explosion and the Israeli war threats is considered likely now that General Moghadam’s key position in the missile program is known. Cyberwar an Sabotage: On Nov. 13, the official news agency IRNA reported that Iranian officials admitted they had uncovered evidence of the "DuQu" computer virus at Iran’s nuclear sites, state-controlled IRNA news agency reported. Fox TV reported that Iran’s civilian defense agency nuclear head, Gholamreza Jalali announced, "We are in the initial phase of fighting the Duqu virus," but refused to elaborate until a "final report" is provided. DuQu is described by cyber experts as closely related to the Stuxnet virus that was capable of invading and doing wide damage to the nuclear sector in Iran, both energy plants and low enriched uranium projects. Assassinations: An investigation is underway into the suspicious death of Ahmad Rezaie, son of 2009 Conservative Presidential candidate Mohsen Rezaie, who formerly headed the IRGC (1981-1997). Ahmad R. was founded dead in a hotel room in Dubai, with the initial report calling the death a suicide. But his father labeled the death suspicious. While no details have yet been published, Ahmad Rezaie’s death is being compared to the hotel room assassination in Dubai of a Hamas leader, who was killed in a very visible way by a Mossad hit team in February, 2010. Washington intelligence sources report that Ahmad Rezaie’s killing could be aimed at his father, who is emerging as a strong Conservative opponent of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and is seeking to align with Supreme Leader Khamenei. In 2009, Mohsen R. had challenged the election results that made Admadinejad President, and this angered Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei who was taking Ahmadinejad’s side at the time. Iranian sources note that Mohsen R. is again trying to become a rising power inside Iran; he is also a target of the Israelis, because he is already under indictment for the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish social welfare center in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in which several people were killed. |
