World on the eve of war

Azerbaijan has turned into the main “site jumping” to the U.S. and Israel in the preparation of an attack on Iran

Preparation of U.S. and Israeli aggression against Iran is in the final stage. According to Western media, Tehran declared martial law on its north-western borders. Personnel and equipment of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) in large numbers being transferred to the area of the Azerbaijani border and the Caspian Sea.

This is understandable – at the airfields in Azerbaijan in full readiness for a strike on Iran’s facilities are concentrated shock of Israel and the U.S..

According to some reports, over the past few days Israel has successfully transferred the large number of bombers to bases in Azerbaijan, via Georgia. The Americans used the same way.

Commander of the IRGC, General Mehdi Moeini said: “The mobilization is associated with the presence of American and Israeli forces on the western border. In addition, according to Moin, some Western countries are trying to ignite ethnic conflict in the Iranian province of West Azerbaijan, and destabilize the region.

Indeed, Western and Israeli intelligence have long been heated separatist and nationalist sentiment in the province, creating terrorist groups and anti-government underground from the chauvinist-minded ethnic Azeris. Therefore, it is possible that foreign intelligence services are preparing a rebellion, which will be used as another excuse to attack Iran (under the pretext of protecting national minorities).

Recall that the Iranian (Iranian terminology – West) Azerbaijan, where relocating the guards, bordered by Turkey, Iraq and Armenia. Media reported that a long convoy of tanks, artillery, air defense and infantry stretches along the main highway in the direction of Azerbaijan and further to the north to the Caspian Sea.

Meanwhile, June 18-22, the US-Israeli-German squadron, which arrived in the Persian Gulf from the Mediterranean Sea, continues to air and sea maneuvers. Are processed attacks on Iranian targets, intercepting missiles fired by Iran, Syria and Hezbollah on American and Israeli targets in the Middle East. In the squadron, headed by the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman “in addition to the Israeli ship is German frigate Hessen-F221. The exercises in the Mediterranean Sea took place from June 6 to June 10, from the aircraft carrier were carried out day and night flights of strike aircraft that bombed targets on the range and Nabatiyeh in southern Israel.American planes took off from bases in Germany and Romania, refueled at Air Force bases and Israel in cooperation with the Israeli air strikes on the remote worked out goals for the Red and Mediterranean Seas. The pilots also trained to conduct air combat.

In addition, in early August this year, Washington intends to focus on the coast of Iran and within the operational range of him, at least 4 or 5 aircraft carriers. A June 22 closest adviser of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that taken during the last meeting of the UN Security Council sanctions against Iran “not adequate” threat and can not stop Iran’s nuclear program. “Pre-emptive military strike is obviously necessary,” – he said.

Analysts say that a particular intensity of military preparations purchased shortly after the resolution, the Group of Eight. Leaders of eight major industrialized countries (group G8) have condemned North Korea for sinking a South Korean ship, and demanded that the Iranian human rights. This was discussed in the final communique of the group after the summit in Canada Toronto.

This “coincidence” suggests that the G8 decision gave carte blanche to potential aggressors. In this regard, particularly interesting role of Russian representatives in the formation of the communique. According to Japanese participants, the only country that resisted tightening of the official statements of the group, was Russia. But, as reported by AP, a representative of the Russian delegation, on condition of anonymity said that Russia did not consider the commission’s decision as final G8 and considers that the additional allegations against North Korea will only lead to negative consequences. From this it follows that the objection Russia caused only “Korean” part of the communiqué, and on “the Iranian issue” reigned consent.

Meanwhile, anti-war stance of Russia in this case has long been a serious obstacle to the aggressive US-Israeli plans. Recently, however, Russia views the “Iranian problem” began to change rapidly, and the G8 meeting to come to full agreement with the West, thereby eliminating the last obstacle on the path to war. Obviously, this evolution had its own reasons – typically, some underhand agreement. In any case, it has already been named in the media reincarnated Covenant “Molotov – Ribbentrop. However, this comparison is hardly correct. Although, if only because the same pact, no doubt, the public interest of the USSR. If only because that pushed for a time, our encounter with Nazi Germany. You can not say about the current situation.

After the aggression the U.S. and Israel against Iran will not bring our country is nothing but new troubles. If the attack is successful, then under the control of the U.S. and Iran will deposit energy, which seriously complicate the situation of our country on the international oil market. In addition to this we get another “black hole” of terror and instability in dangerous proximity to our borders. There is one more important detail – an attack on Iran will put in an extremely unfavorable situation of Armenia – the last Russian ally in the Caucasus. In this regard, it should be noted one more “coincidence” intensify anti-Iranian actions and aggravation on the Karabakh front – no doubt sanctioned by the American-Israeli leaders.

Clearly, a new war in Karabakh, which is whatever the outcome will lead to total exclusion of Russia from the South Caucasus region, could become a logical continuation of the anti-Iran policy of the USA and at the same time – a preparatory stage for large-scale armed conflict in the Middle East. And finally, the sooner our “strategic partners” to the right with the “Iranian problem”, the faster will take on the “final decision of the Russian question.”

What was our guide for the review of position on Iran? Some analysts believe that this series of personal guarantees to support the conduct of a domestic policy. But be that as it may, it must be remembered that all the recent years Americans have consistently “throw” of their partners, and their promises turn into broken pottery, as chervontsi Basavryuk a famous story by Gogol.

If we compare the current situation with the period before World War II, then Russia, following the logic of its foreign policy aspirations and decisions, rather like France during the “Munich Agreement”.
