What is the best thing that could serve the agendas of the Likud-led Israel?
AAnswer: nuclear armed Iran, in actual fact or perceived as fact!
I am not the only one who thinks that the threats of regime change and military attacks against Iran during the past decade have been giving the Iranians more reasons and justifications to beef up the nation’s defenses and even to acquire the technology needed to create the ultimate deterrent, the nuclear weapon. Most impartial observers in the field are of the opinion that the Iranians are still in the process of acquiring that technical knowledge, with so far no assurance that the regime would actually embark on developing the bomb.
The most recent IAEA report is no more than a slightly modified, politically motivated repeat of the previous series of allegations of maybe, could be, perhaps, and other less-than-concrete statements, where the interpretation or conclusion by any observer depends entirely on the observer’s own motives and agendas.
Again, I am far from being the only analyst who believes that, should Iran ever manage to obtain or manufacture a nuclear device, it would only serve as a deterrent. It would not be to Iran’s advantage in any conceivable way to initiate an attack on anyone, near or far, with or without a nuclear capability. And that includes attempting to wipe Israel off the face of the map, a phrase that was cunningly and deviously attributed to the Iranian President Ahmadinejad a few years ago, an absolute lie that has now been established as a historical truth, like so many other so-called undeniable truths that have wormed their way into our untouchable historical archives.
It seems as though the nonstop allegations, accusations, sanctions and threats were designed to push the Iranian regime toward procuring nuclear capabilities and, at the same time, empowering the hardliners within the Iranian government to impose stricter controls against any internal opposition that seemed potentially likely to weaken the regime. This combination of imageries assured the success of the portrayal of the Islamic Republic as a dangerous, unpopular rogue state that aimed at destabilizing the oil-rich region for gaining control over the industrial world’s bloodline, oil, and ultimately pushing the West’s only vanguard or sentinel, Israel, into the sea.
The Israeli regime has been, and continues to be, benefiting from this charade. And as long as this portrayal of Iran remains at play in the public domain in the United States, the American Congress and the Executive leadership see clear sailing, albeit begrudgingly (hence Obama’s comments to Sarkozi about Netanyahu), in accommodating the Israeli demands in exchange for the support of the powerful Zionist lobby and its vast tentacles, come election times.
No doubt Israel is facing hard times. It is increasingly isolated and mistrusted globally, its manipulated (by the United States) alliances with Egypt and Turkey are rapidly breaking up, and its image as a ruthless apartheid regime that remains in violation of international law and the UN Security Council resolutions is not helping it either.
The only thing that is helping the Jewish state stay afloat is the financial, military and diplomatic support by the United States through a parasitic relationship that is gnawing on the host and benefactor.
Interestingly, and as expected, no matter what the Israeli regime does that raises the ire of the international community, the negative global reaction is taken by the Zionist mind as yet another proof why Israel, in dire straits, deserves more friends and assistance. This reminds me of the oft repeated anecdote about the Jewish boy who kills his parents and demands mercy because he has been orphaned!

The benefits of a nuclear-armed Iran
1- First of all, a nuclear capable Iran would not benefit in any conceivable way by using this weapon to initiate any aggression regionally or globally. The worst case scenario would be if Iran might use this deterrent capability to engage in other types of regional adventurisms with greater impunity. That possibility, however remote, leads us to the next point:
2- Our clients Gulf states, supposedly fearing Iran’s emboldened ambitions, will be sold tens of billions of dollars worth of American made arms, mostly outdated or obsolete stuff, and technical assistance to protect themselves against their big, powerful neighbor.
3- Large scale sale and shipment of arms to the Arab regimes would automatically force the US Congress to approve increasing military, financial and diplomatic aid to the Israelis to “defend their lives” by maintaining Israel’s military superiority against the combined forces of the entire Arab states.
4- Furthermore, under such circumstances, it would appear increasingly “unfair” to press Israel to bow to international pressures to compromise anything toward the settlement of the Palestinian grievances and other illegal or inhumane activities.
5- Israel would no longer be expected or pressured into disclosing its own nuclear arsenal or to join the IAEA, and the whole concept denuclearization of the region would become a moot point, especially when there is actually no likelihood of ever implementing such program on a global scale.
6- With an already nuclear-armed Iran, there would no need to continue ever harsher economic sanctions against the Islamic Republic, as the main purpose and justification for the imposed sanctions was to prevent Iran from accessing the nuclear weapons.
7- That would open the door to a rapprochement with Iran, which would reinvigorate Iran’s economy and boost its trade with the West, particularly the United States, and channel much of Iran’s resources and markets away from the East and toward the West.
8- The normalization of relations with the West, particularly with the United States, will undoubtedly lead to a moderation of the current “state of emergency” antidemocratic internal policies in Iran, and tilt the scale in favor of reform oriented, more secular liberal elements, a much anticipated and long awaited social evolution.
So, why not?
