Quote:Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA – As he was returning to the US from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, US President Donald Trump told the press aboard Air Force One that an American “armada” is heading toward Iran. That armada is a US carrier strike group led by the USS Abraham Lincoln, which was reported on January 20 as having departed its previously assigned patrol area and was steaming towards the Middle East.

Deploying the carrier has come as a reaction to the rising death toll from the Iranian clerical regime’s crackdown on a nationwide wave of demonstrations. The death toll from that revolt has, according to official government admissions by the government in Tehran, risen to at least 5,000 unarmed protestors having been killed by the security forces, activists said.

However, the actual number of those killed is now suspected of being as high as 20,000 or more. Internal sources in Iran have cited previous estimates in that range. Still, they have usually been aggregate totals extrapolated from information provided by hospitals and medical workers in major cities, then passed on by activists leading the demonstrations.

On Friday, Tehran dismissed as “completely false” Trump’s assertion that his threats of using military force had halted the mullahs’ planned executions of more than 800 protesters that had previously been arrested. Trump had stated that any such killings would be a red line that would force him to launch military action.
“I said, ‘If you hang those people, you’re going to be hit harder than you’ve ever been hit,'” the US president told reporters in the Air Force One press contingent as he returned from the Davos forum. “And an hour before this horrible event, they canceled the hangings, he said. “That was a good sign.”
“I stopped 837 hangings on Thursday, would have been dead, every one of them, mostly young men,” he said on Air Force One.
Referring to the carrier strike group scheduled to be on station today, Trump added, “Maybe we won’t have to use it.” The United States has “a big force going to Iran. I’d rather not see anything happen,” he added, but “we have a lot of ships going that direction just in case.”
In addition to the carrier and its flotilla of support vessels, the US has also dispatched additional aircraft and land-based air defense systems, per statements from Pentagon officials. For its part, the UK said it would send RAF Eurofighter Typhoon jets from 12 Squadron to Qatar, at Doha’s request.

Quote:This message is spreading across Iranian social media, allegedly from a security insider exposing what are the Islamic Republic’s sinister plans in the event of a U.S. attack. “As someone working within the security forces who cannot reveal my identity for security reasons, I felt it necessary to share this very important information with the public.

According to directives that have been issued, the Islamic Republic has decided that in the event of an American attack—and precisely in the initial moments of the strike—it will target numerous residential areas and cities inside our own country with missiles and drones. Under this scenario, immediately after the attacks, images of the victims, especially women and children, will be released to manipulate and shape global public opinion in favor of the Islamic Republic.

One of the reasons for the highly restricted internet access in recent days is to prepare the infrastructure for “white line internet” across the country—an internet exclusively available to specific institutions so they can instantly send images and videos to Arab media and news agencies aligned with the Islamic Republic.

The main goal of this plan is to create a facade of international victimhood and shift the landscape of global public opinion—which is currently strongly against Ali Khamenei and in favor of Donald Trump. By implementing this plan, Ali Khamenei simultaneously pursues two goals: Revenge against the Iranian people, and deceiving domestic and global public opinion by shedding the blood of innocent citizens.

The US military build-up is a contingency plan if things go wrong and/or a coup de grâce if the implosion works. Who knows what the Israelis have been up to. Like Ninurta said, Trump is all about quick in & out like Syria, Yemen, Venezuela. I'm sure it'll be a surprise on how it goes down. I could be totally wrong, time will tell. Tick-tock.

Very few read US policy papers (very boring) from prestigious think-tanks and this one from 2009 Brookings Institution analysis paper "Which Path to Persia" shows the USGov continuity of agenda is perhaps been playing out according to the plan.

Then there are a few in Washington and Tel Aviv that prefer the final solution.

One NGO with a strong local presence reported that 52% of children and 24% of pregnant women were malnourished.
