Being that the media is in lockstep on reporting only a handful of issues (Pandemic, Trump is bad, Social Justice), most have missed the fact that almost daily now, a highly sensitive and/or strategic sites in Iran have mysteriously gone up in flames…or more precisely, in explosions. The highly coordinated fashion at which these sensitive Iranian sites were attacked has all the hallmarks of state level sponsorship. Iran no doubt knows this and by this time has identified the sponsors behind the attacks as Israel and the United States. Even if this was a false flag by a third-party actor, the result will be the same. Iran must decisively retaliate. When it does, it very well may trigger the war Israel and their Deep State allies in Washington have sought. Further, the Trump Administration needs an issue more than ever to refocus the nation from the current domestic issues. A war with Iran would certainly do it. Unfortunately, any war with Iran will be disastrous for all parties. Iran will be smashed, but the cost to the United States doing it will make it a Pyrrhic victory at best.
A quick summary of sites hit in Iran include the Natanz nuclear facility, a missile facility, a power plant, a medical facility, industrial sites, and now the Port of Bushehr with seven ships aflame. The incidents happened all within approximately a month timeframe making any argument of random bad luck ludicrous. This is a deliberate campaign being covertly waged to cripple Iran. My point is not to justify or condemn the attacks, but rather, to warn that there are always consequences. In fact, I do not find it coincidental that just days after the USS Bonhomme Richard was engulfed in flames and is currently burning to the water line while at port in San Diego, seven Iranian ships in port at Bushehr went up in flames today. Through the lens of covert tit-for-tat, this is no coincidence. In addition, it is only a matter of time before there is a showdown between the United States and Iran over its oil tankers supplying Venezuela. President Trump has gone so far as to hint that major action against Venezuela, an ally of Iran, will occur soon without elaborating. My guess is the two issues…Iran and Venezuela, will be jointly addressed in whatever action President Trump orders.
Now, for the “so what” factor. I have written a book’s worth of articles on the implications of a major war with Iran (search LastMinuteSurvival.com keyword “Iran”) and the takeaway is all negative. Iran will suffer massive devastation, the Middle East will explode into greater turmoil, and the costs (lives, money, material, and influence) to America will render it impotent in the region opening a vacuum for China and Russia to exploit. Further, America will not escape unscathed domestically. Price spikes, shortages, attacks, and social unrest will all be baked into the consequences. For those that want to get biblical, yes, there is also reference to this in the Book of Daniel and it is the trigger for what you read in the Book of Revelation. If that does not reach your “it matters” threshold, it should. Neither you nor I can stop this (what I believe is a nearly certain major war with Iran), but we can prepare. If you have not looked at your preps and relocation plans, you should. As with the stock markets, you cannot call the precise timing, but by paying attention to the fundamentals, you know when a market is poised to crash.
