Prologue

As most of us here on this board are aware, Palestine's largest and strongest ally is Iran. Their supposed alliance traces back to 1979, when Iran stopped supporting Israel and turned the Israeli embassy into a Palestinian one. Since then, ostensibly they remain allies against Israel. How about Iran's allies? Is Russia one of them?

There is a list of journalists whose published articles I collect and try my best to read thoroughly because they are said to (or suspected to) work for the state sponsored intelligence services. I'd like to know why they are publicly saying something at a certain specific time.

Anyway,

on March 9, 2021, an American journalist named Eli Lake, who started his journalism career at UPI as a state department correspondent, wrote an op-ed titled "Lake: Biden's Iran Policy a Work in Progress" for Boston Herald, which was seemingly a fluff piece but interesting nonetheless especially for the following excerpts.

"On the one hand, the Biden administration is trying to quietly induce Iran to re-enter negotiations over the 2015 nuclear accord the previous president abandoned in 2018. On the other, the administration authorized air strikes in Syria recently against facilities it said were associated with Iranian-backed militias [1] that launched rocket attacks last month against a U.S. base in northern Iraq.

One way to divine Biden’s true intentions is to examine the records of his foreign policy nominees — specifically, Colin Kahl and Wendy Sherman. Veterans of former President Barack Obama’s administration, both played important roles in negotiating the nuclear deal. Once out of government, both predicted that the decision to withdraw from that deal would prove to be disastrous.

...

Kahl’s hearing was also instructive. Outside of government, Kahl was a prolific tweeter. Many Republican senators reminded him of some past tweets that have aged poorly — from predicting that moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem would make Israeli-Arab cooperation much harder to his warning that the 2020 air strike that killed Iranian General Qassem Soleimani would lead to a regional war."

While technical talks over Iran nuclear deal between Iran, China, Russia, Germany, France, the UK, and the US delegation appeared to have resumed and progressed smoothly,

on Apr 24, 2021, a journalist named Ron Kampeas, who profiled Kamala Harris for various JTA outlets in 2020, wrote an article titled "The pro-Israel Iran dilemma: How to influence a policy Biden has yet to unveil" for the Times of Israel.

"It's clear that America's pro-Israel community, along with foreign policy wonks in Congress, wants to influence Biden’s decision-making on Iran. There is bipartisan agreement that something must be done to counter Iran’s ever-growing nuclear weapons program and its promotion of terrorism in the Middle East. But the invested parties are far from consensus on what that something is."

Then, the next day, on Apr 25, 2021, London-based news channel Iran International, published an article detailing leaked audio of a recent interview between Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and Iranian journalist Saeed Laylaz.

In the audio, Mr. Zarif claimed, "It was former US Foreign Secretary John Kerry who told me Israel had launched more than 200 attacks on Iranian forces in Syria."

Wait, what's wrong with this picture? Even if the John Kerry part wasn't supposed to be published, why would you want to reveal it to a journalist unless you absolutely had to, given the sensitiveness of the information? What's going on here?

What's more interesting to me than "We all kind of knew how Kerry went around betraying the protocol" was that

the Iranian Foreign Minister alleged that Qassem Soleimani undermined the Iranian government at many steps to sabotage the nuclear deal between Iran and world powers, while he's adopting policies toward Syria's long war that damaged Iran's own interests.

Why this allegation is interesting?

In 2019 many analysts believed there were power struggles between the Hassan Rouhani faction and the IRGC faction. Unlike how it looked on the surface, the former wanted to open a strategic economic dialogue directly with the US administration at that time.

Note that, just after Iran's retaliatory ballistic missile attacks following the Soleimani assassination, Iran's deputy foreign minister Abbas Araqchi said Iran is "ready to come back to full compliance" with its nuclear deal with world powers. [2] However, strangely enough, almost none of the major US mass media talked about Mr. Araqchi's announcement.

On May 07, 2021, just two days after Benjamin Netanyahu's deadline for forming a new Israeli government expired [3], an Israeli news outlet called i24 News reported that Palestinian groups in Israel and the Gaza Strip are planning to hold massive rallies on Saturday May 08, following a round of clashes that began over the proposed eviction of Palestinian families from their homes in a neighbourhood claimed by Jewish settlers. [4]

Then, on May 09, 2021, the IDF carried out an airstrike against a Hamas target after a rocket fired from the Gaza Strip landed in Israeli territory. [5]

To make things more complicated,

on May 11, 2021, Mr. Ramez Al-Halabi, so called the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) official, who has been rumoured to be 'working' with Saudi-sponsored Palestinian factions, remarked the following [6] during an interview with Al-Ahd, an Iraqi TV channel.

"The mujahideen in Gaza and in Lebanon use Iranian weapons to strike the Zionists. We buy our weapons with Iranian money. An important part of our activity is under the supervision of Iranian experts. The contours of the victories in Palestine as of late were outlined with the blood of Qasem Soleimani, Iranian blood. Today, the patronage of the axis of resistance has begun to prevail in the region, thanks to Allah and to the blood of the martyrs, and it has begun to make an impact, and what an impact."

This raised my eyebrows immediately. Not because Mr. Ramez Al-Halabi made an on air statement that Iran has funded the armed factions in Gaza and Lebanon, but because, only two weeks after an Iranian top government official denounced Qasem Soleimani as destructive for the Iran nuclear deal, Mr. Al-Halabi invoked the name Soleimani during the Iran nuclear deal talks.

And why the blatant announcement? What did he intend to achieve?

Although it's not surprising a bit considering Iran is Palestine's largest ally, this on air announcement seems to yield almost no benefit in the geopolitical/strategic sense but it probably will severely reduce performance in the US-Iran-Palestine funding line.

Hm.

So, why this is happening?

There are these so called globalist factions in the US and the CCP who are students of Zbigniew Brzezinski's strategies. These factions have 'helped' Iran because they don't want one single strongest nation to be dominant in the region. They would need to prevent a nation of the region from becoming a formidable enemy and possibly forming an empire. They simply prefer the continuing chaos for the region. Always divide and conquer, Dr. Brzezinski said.

Yesterday I saw u/savman here delivered the gist: "Dems and Rino Warhawks fund Iran who funds Hamas who bomb Israel who then goes on the defensive and blows up Hamas operations."

Then, it has seemingly gotten a tad more complicated.

During this year's Vienna talks, Iran must have realized that the current US administrations is not interested in 'immediately' lifting sanctions and/or strategic economic dialogues with them, and they noticed Russia is not-so-secretly hoping for this nuclear talks to fall apart.

Iran is also suspecting that the CCP has been aching for a lot more of economic and military influences in the region than they have officially disclosed.

⑦-3

Talking about the CCP and the Middle East region,

have you heard about EastMed Pipeline? see this image for the EastMed pipeline route and the locations of Gaza, Lebanon, and Israel.

Iran is afraid that the CCP would ultimately decide to 'take over' EastMed Pipeline, which will eventually lead the CCP to sabotage the recently signed 25-year cooperation agreement between Iran and China.

And, because of EastMed, Israel has all the more reason to go offensive against Gaza and Lebanon.

Which nation is rumoured to have funded Israel's involvement in EastMed? It wasn't the US. The US partially funded the whole construction of Eastmed pipeline. [7] It was the factions of Xi Jinping, Zhang Youxia, and Chen Quanguo of the CCP that are rumoured to have funded Israel's involvement. [8]

⑦-4

Remember Mr. Ramez Al-Halabi said that Iran has funded the armed factions in Gaza and Lebanon.

How important do you think the Gaza and Lebanon region is to EastMed?

Do you think Iran is liking the CCP's funding Israel's involvement in EastMed pipeline?

I am suspecting that the current Iranian government is about to be forced to turn its back on Palestine, although the country seems it cannot afford to.

What all these have to do with Palestine? Nothing. Terribly sorry but the State of Palestine has become a powerless pawn in a global hegemony.


Holy cow, it got too long for a silly post (and way too late).

Good night, guys.
