HAVE THE AYATOLLAHS SURVIVED?

 

The US has assembled a massive amount of military force in the Middle East. American air assets are packing military bases in Jordan, Qatar and Diego Garcia. The US Navy has encircled Iran from the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean, the Persian Gulf and in the Meditteranean.

The cost of maintaining all these military assets at 24/7 combat readiness will be humongous. If they are not used to strike Iran it would have just been sabre rattling. The ayatollahs will laugh at the Americans again. They will proclaim a great victory. 

Among all the degenerate mullah regimes that the world has had the misfortune of witnessing in our time the ayatollahs in Iran sit at the top of the heap - perhaps being trailed closely by the Taliban in Afghanistan.

Listening to their claims their missiles are the most powerful in the world and they have already sunk the US Navy many times over. The fact is for 12 days in May last year the US and Israeli Air Force had open access to Iranian airspace - not a single American or Israeli aircraft was shot down. It is evidence of their inability to fend off what they claim to have destroyed many times over.

The ayatollahs managed to quell the massive protests by the Iranian people simply by shooting them in the streets. More reports are coming out of Iran that over January 8th and 9th they shot and killed possibly over 15,000 Iranian civilians - men, women and children. The Shia people mourn their dead for 40 days at the end of which period they hold prayers and memorials. The 40 day period is coming up soon (around 10th Feb) where thousands of families will be morning their loved ones.

The protests have not gone away. Reports coming out of Iran say that the people are coming out onto the streets again. In smaller numbers but the protests have not gone away completely. 

Will the Americans attack the ayatollahs? Negotiating with them will be the biggest mistake the Americans can make. The secret weapon against the ayatollahs are the Iranian people. While the ayatollahs are cracking up the Iranian people are rising up - most certainly.
