The Gambler Plays His Last Card, But the Die is Already Cast Against the US


By: S. Nawabzadeh

Today, on the 19th of August in 1953, in the aftermath of World War 2, when the West Asian region was still grappling with the twilight of colonialism, the US, as the new superpower, was lured into oil-rich Iran by the wily British to overthrow the democratically-elected but weak and indecisive government of Prime Minister Dr. Mohammad Mosaddeq that had alienated itself from the Muslim masses by its wrong attitude towards the popular leader, Ayatollah Seyyed Abu’l-Qasim Kashani – in addition to misplaced trust in the yet-to-be discovered untrustworthy Uncle Sam.
Operation Ajax was a thus cakewalk, and all it required of Washington to bring back to Tehran the fugitive British-installed Mohammad Reza Pahlavi for use as a handy milk cow was to distribute a fistful of dollars amongst thugs and mercenary military officers.
Today 65 years later – 40 years after the US was kicked out from Iran by the people’s grassroots movement led by that Sage of Age, Imam Khomeini (RA) – the bloodied and bruised US, faced with humiliating defeats on all fronts in the region by states and masses inspired by the Islamic Republic of Iran and alarmed at the prospects of losing to the wheel of history the two remaining milk cows (Saudi Arabia and UAE), is making a futile bid to stay in the region.
And what a fantasy it has come up with! To firm up the drooping hearts of the tribal and tyrannical British created regimes in Riyadh and Abu Dhabi, which will collapse the moment the US is kicked out from the region, it has set up a so-called Iran Action Group at the State Department in Washington for what it calls the rolling back of Iranian influence and if possible change of government in Tehran – the first results of which is the hundred-million dollars doled out by the Saudis as initial payment for funding and arming thousands of terrorists flourishing in northeastern Syria under the illegal presence of the US.
If wishes were horses the dotard Donald Trump would be the emperor of Planet Earth, with the gangster Mike Pompeo and the mustachioed bozo John Bolton among his bejeweled courtiers, literally gulping billions of barrels of crude oil and inhaling trillions of cubic meters of natural gas of the ‘jewel’ in the American crown – the reconquered Iran run by the terrorist MKO clique and subservient to the regional satrap, Israel.   
Dreams, however, are nothing more than dreams. Neither we are living in the Iran of 1953 when Mohammad Reza was re-installed with a "yes sir, I am at your service” salute to his new masters, the Americans, nor in the Iran of 1925 when the British conveniently replaced the Qajarid dynasty with an illiterate soldier of obscure origin named Reza Khan, and then the moment he erred in thinking he was an independent sovereign, they caught him by the scruff of his neck and threw him on the island of Mauritius to die in exile in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Islamic Iran, with its popular religious system of government led by the farsighted Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and supported by scores of millions of masses, is an impregnable fortress whose outposts in the region are so powerful that no amount of Saudi money or the American and Zionist weaponry can overpower them in Lebanon, Yemen, Syria and elsewhere.
So what to do? With the change of government in Tehran out of question, let’s take a big gamble as they do in the casinos of Las Vegas for a make-up and break-up bid through bluster, through sanctions on paper that never work, through threats to the free world to stop trade with Iran that never materialize, through appeal to a few misled elements to indulge in vandalism that quickly backfires, and through tweets to browbeat some faint-hearted officials to enter into talks that will never take place in view of the Leader’s absolute banning of such worthless negotiations.
Thus, in order to lift the sagging spirits of the rootless but rich regimes in the Persian Gulf which are ready to pay the last of their petro-dollar to the US for survival, Syria could be the ideal place for more mischief and more blood, since stability in the Levant means is a nightmare for the illegal Zionist entity, whose days seem to be numbered.  
As the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates told SANA yesterday the Saudi aid to the "criminal US-led coalition” comes in defiance of UN Security Council resolutions, and a bid "to fragmentize the region and impose Zionist hegemony on all countries.”
In the words of Mohammed Ali al-Houthi of the Revolutionary Command Council of Yemen, Saudi Arabia’s latest multi-million dollar gift to the US for revitalizing Takfiri and other terrorists in Syria, is "admission of Riyadh’s defeat in the face of the Islamic Republic of Iran”.
To be more precise, the Wahhabi regime in Riyadh afraid of sending its soldiers to graves in Syria, is ready to dole out many millions or perhaps billions of dollars to the US to recruit mercenaries to try to keep that country in turmoil, since there is no hope of victory against forces trained by the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The US is aware of ground realities. Thus, in order to milk the reactionary Arab cows to the last drop of milk, is indulging in propaganda against Tehran through such worthless bodies as the so-called Iran Action Group, while resorting to every dirty trick up its sleeve to avert the inevitable end of Israel by entrenching itself in Syria through Arab money and Arab terrorists, without deploying fighting force of its own that will end in body bags coming home.
