KARLOF1—Two very important geopolitical outcomes were quickly made. First, Russia announced that Iran was acting well within its rights under the UN Charter and that Russia has Iran’s back, something that was hinted at two years ago but is now 100% overt. The second item is Biden’s saying the Outlaw US Empire won’t aid the Zionists if they decide to retaliate. A third minor development was Jordan’s acting in the Zionist defence. Other items would be the Emirati and Saudi relief that they’d reached peaceful relations with Iran as it’s now very clear just how strong Iran really is.

New Atlas LIVE: Iran Strikes Back – Tehran Steps into US Trap, is it Prepared? The New Atlas
8 minutes readTHE NEW ATLAS—Brian and Angelo are cautious regarding recent events in the Middle East. They believe the US Hegemon (with Israel’s conscious or objective assist) may be playing intricate and highly devious games to detonate a regionwide conflagration. Hamas, for one thing, may have been chosen by Israel and the US to play a divisive role among Palestinian factions, while maintaining the image of a fanatical anti-Israeli threat, eventually even allowing Oct. 7 attacks to permit Israel and the US to flatten Gaza, and provoke Iran and other members of the anti-Zionist/imperialist alliance to step in, thereby justifying, again a reasonable “response” that would destroy Iran and the forces resisting Western hegemony. In that sense, Oct 7 would be analogous to 9/11, a pretext to launch a vast imperialist campaign.

DON HANK—During the early days of the ISIS’s rise, Turkey’s open border policy was instrumental to foreign terrorists flooding into Iraq and Syria. In fact, Turkey’s involvement with ISIS runs so deep that in 2016 David Phillips, an ex-State Department and Columbia University researcher, published a comprehensive study on Turkey’s support for ISIS. The study found evidence of Turkey providing military equipment, transport and logistical assistance, training, medical care to ISIS fighters. But that’s not all. The study determined that Turkey supports ISIS financially through purchasing oil and assisting ISIS recruitment. The report also said Turkish forces fight alongside ISIS fighters (specifically referring to the Battle for Kobani). Phillips attributes all this to the idea that Turkey and ISIS share a common worldview. Saudi Arabia — another U.S. ally — covertly supports ISIS while publicly opposing the terror group.

RICHARD MEDHURST—Hezbollah is gradually expanding its operations. Its missiles and rockets are beginning to zero in on more targets of importance in Israel, and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, which remains a piece of Syrian territory. The probable upcoming presidency of uber Zionist Donald Trump will NOT fix the situation with the Israelis and may very well aggravate it. Trump and his in-laws, the Kushners, a notorious Zionist-American clan, will likely put US soldiers on the ground to further assist Israel in its battles with the anti-Zionist/imperialist alliance and Hamas itself. How that will play with Trump’s “antiwar” image in many quarters is still anybody’s guess.

SYRIAN GOV PRESS RELEASE (PARTIAL)—Today at dawn, the American occupation forces launched a blatant air attack on a number of sites and towns in the eastern region of Syria, near the Syrian-Iraqi border, which led to the death of a number of civilians and soldiers, the injury of others, and the infliction of significant damage to public and private property.
The area targeted by the American attacks in eastern Syria is the same area where the Syrian Arab Army is fighting the remnants of the terrorist organization ISIS. This confirms that the United States and its military forces are involved and allied with this organization, and are working to revive it as a field arm for it, both in Syria and Iraq, by all dirty means…
