THE SURVIVAL OPTION: Israel will lose its ill-advised war on Iran unless all goes to plan. The Plan? What is it? That one way or another, Washington once again can be counted upon to fight Israel’s wars of territorial expansion: ~ Michael Walsh

According to analysts, Israel Would Have No Qualms About USS Liberty-style false FLAG If Iran Campaign Falters.

Donald Trump is mulling whether or not to join Israel’s aggression against Iran as Tel Aviv faces problems sustaining its defenses against growing counterstrikes

However, it lacked a realistic game plan for an end to hostilities after failing to achieve its goals. Analysts explain how if push becomes shove the US could be ‘nudged’ into the conflict.

‘The US is already assisting Israel with supplies, intel, refueling support, etc. One of the many US posts in the region could be attacked for a provocation,’ former Pentagon analyst Karen Kwiatkowski explained.

‘If due to international and domestic pressure Trump refuses to comply with Israel’s demand’ and join Israel’s aggression voluntarily, a false flag may be needed to drag the US in, Kwiatkowski, retired US Air Force Lt. Col.-turned Iraq War whistleblower, fears.

Netanyahu has a diverse array of options at his disposal, according to the observer, including: a false flag against US assets abroad blamed on Iran or one of its Axis of Resistance allies, like the Houthis

A US domestic attack or assassination blamed on Iran

Iranian air defenses ‘accidentally’ hitting a civilian jetliner carrying Americans

Use of a dirty bomb or nuclear contamination somewhere in the region and blamed on Iran.

Even blackmailing by threatening to use nukes against Iran if the US doesn’t join the fight

Kwiatkowski estimates that Israel probably has enough blackmail power against President Trump and Congress to avoid the necessity of a false flag operation

But a ‘USS Liberty-style’ attack, targeting the soon-to-be-retired USS Nimitz supercarrier that’s heading to the Middle East, for example, nevertheless cannot be ruled out entirely, she says.

As I write, the USS Nimitz is exiting the Strait of Malacca after its deployment in the South China Sea. The decrepit carrier is heading ‘full ahead’ for the Red Sea, a flashpoint between Israel and Iran.

Beirut-based geopolitics analyst Yeghia Tashjian agrees, emphasizing that Israel has limited capabilities when it comes to destroying Iran’s nuclear infrastructure (the stated goal of Operation Rising Lion), especially the underground nuclear facilities.

The same holds true for Israel’s lack of ability to independently deploy boots on the ground in Iran, which means no chance of an overwhelming victory even if events go their way in the ongoing back-and-forth strikes.

Possible scenarios for a false flag imagined by Tashjian include attacking US bases in Iraq…or a terror attack against US embassies in the region.

POINT TO PONDER: We possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them in all directions, even at Rome. Most European capitals are targets for our Air Force. ~ Martin van Creveld, Israeli Military Historian: IAP News 30 May 2003.
