>Why Trump's strategy against Iran is likely to fail

The 'maximum pressure' tactics will not succeed in subduing Iran, nor will an invasion.
aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/trump-strategy-iran-fail-190603150853723.html
First, US global rivals China and Russia would likely back the Iranian resistance, albeit unofficially. Both have been irritated by the US pivot to Asia and the trade wars Trump has waged; a conflict with Iran would be an opportunity for these global powers to get back at the US.Second, if Trump starts a war, he would face far greater international isolation than what his abrasive policies have so far produced. Today, Iran holds the moral high ground because of its strategic patience and commitment to the nuclear deal, while the international community continues to reject Trump's aggressive posturing. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was made aware of the limits of US soft power, especially after his recent visits to Europe, where he faced a cold reception and a rebuke over Washington's policy on Iran.Third, a war with Iran would almost certainly be a greater disaster than the one in Iraq. The US currently is not aware of the full Iranian military potential. Having been long isolated from western arms markets, Iran has developed its own domestic weapons industry, the capabilities of which remain unknown to the outside world. This could certainly undermine US military planning in the run-up to war.Thus, whatever path the US chooses - to continue its maximum pressure strategy or to escalate and start a conflict, it would ultimately face failure. Meanwhile, Tehran is edging closer to exhausting diplomacy. There are already signs that it is resorting to alternative strategies and the EU will be the first to feel the heat.

>Daesh (ISIS) terrorists
I find it incorrect to call them terrorists. While they do use terrorist methods sometimes, it is mostly conventional combat they are engaged in. So in this contest I find it preferable to call them jihadists.

>Pompeo says US tried & failed to unite Venezuelan opposition in leaked audio
rt.com/news/461180-pompeo-opposition-unite-fail/
A leaked audio of Secretary of State Pomp has reportedly exposed the US effort to unite the Venezuelan opposition, whose top figures are apparently too absorbed in power games to become the next US-approved president.

Venezuelan opposition leaders are lining up in droves to pick up the mantle of presidency once Maduro is ousted with Washington's help – and the US is struggling to get them to work together, the WaPO reported citing a leaked audio. The effort to cobble together a united front against Maduro is not a thing of "these past months," according to Pompeo. It has been ongoing since he became CIA director, just after Trump's swearing-in as pres.

"Since the day I became CIA director, that was something that was at the center of what PresTrump was trying to do,"

The task "has proven devilishly difficult" though, as everybody in the opposition camp is after their own interests and wants to fight over the spoils rather than focus on the common cause of a coup.

"The moment Maduro leaves, everybody's going to raise their hands and [say], "Take me, I'm the next president of Venezuela.' It would be 40-plus people who believe they're the rightful heir to Maduro," .In an attempt to force various stooges to team up, Pomp sought to enlist help from religious orgs.

"We were trying to support various religious... institutions to get the opposition to come together," he said.

He maintained that Maduro is under the influence of foreign backers, mainly Cuba – an idea often repeated by Washington and recently used to put more sanctions on Havana. Venezuelans don't like Maduro, but are looking out for themselves instead of working towards Washington's goals, he complained.

"He doesn't trust Venezuelans a lick. I don't blame him. He shouldn't. They were all plotting against him. Sadly, they were all plotting for themselves."

>While they do use terrorist methods sometimes, it is mostly conventional combat they are engaged in.
First,let me thank you for your responseand requisite You.
Now onto what you say; which is, that they sometimes use terrorist methods, but mostly do conventional combat. To this, I would say that the two are not mutually exclusive. And the fact that you use conventional combat tactics, when appropriate does not exxclude you from the real meaning of the word terrorist. You have taken this word to mean insurgent, which often is not the same thing as a terrorist. Insurgents are often nationalist organisations adopting destructive means to meet some nationalist goal (end of occupation being the most popular). They may use terror tactics, they may not. SImilarly, a nation state can adopt terror tactics against insurgent enemies.
When seen this way, you will find it veryeasy to identify ISIS as a terror organisation - even if it is rational enough to adopt conventional tactics when they prove the most effective. However the fact that alongside their existence is a continual record of acts of terror committed often against civilian targets, with the aim of creating a state of terror, it is undeniabke that they are a terror organisation.

>You eurocucks wish you had a leader as trump.
Most europeans wished they had a leader like Putin or (to a lesser extent) Xi. Trump's clownish antics impress only the most uneducated and gullible individuals.
But we are indeed grateful that the US empire now has a leader who is determined to destroy his own empire by any means necessary.

hmmmm, difficult, they would consider themselves to be an insurgency I assume, fighting against the oppression of the one true believe (wahabi salafism). But more importantly they are fighting for territory. They conquered (and in some parts of Africa still conquer) territory which they then control just like any other state would. More gruesome and opressive but with a clear intent of being a political entity.

>fighting for territory
which may be true, however,i find it sanitises the flip side of the statement in it's tautology (1+1=2) and balance. fighting for territory means either defending your own, or taking it away from it's current legal possessors. ISIS is part of the latter.
and it does so by first engaging on acts of terror against civilians and then a slow creeping invasion which may include attacks against police and soldiers, occupation, public executions and mutilations, excessive looting and enslavement, and taxation.

Terror is part of their heritage and will continue to be for a very long time.

>UAE to present findings to UN on tanker attacks

The US has blamed Iran over the 'sabotage' incidents after four tankers were targeted off the United Arab Emirates.
27 minutes ago
aljazeera.com/news/2019/06/uae-present-findings-tanker-attacks-190606083422097.html
The United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Norway will on Thursday present their findings to the UN Security Council after a probe into the May 12 attacks on oil assets off the Emirati coast.

During an informal meeting at the UAE mission to the UN, Security Council ambassadors will be briefed on evidence uncovered during the investigation, diplomats quoted by AFP news agency said.

UAE-owned channel Sky News Arabia also confirmed the development. The Abu Dhabi-based channel gave no further details.

The United States has accused Iran of being behind the attacks, which came at a time of escalating tensions between Tehran and Washington.

US National Security Adviser John Bolton alleged Iranian mines were likely used in the "sabotage", without providing any proof.Iran has flatly rejected accusations it was behind the sabotage of the four tankers - two Saudi-flagged, a Norwegian-flagged, and an Emirati-flagged - calling the allegations "ridiculous".

Saudi Arabia said the attacks affect the security of world oil supplies and also pointed the finger at Iran.
'No doubt'

The attacks took place within UAE territorial waters, east of the port of Fujairah, an oil export terminal on the Sea of Oman.

"There's no doubt in anybody's mind in Washington who's responsible for this," Bolton said last week during a visit to Abu Dhabi.

The four tankers were attacked using "naval mines almost certainly from Iran", he told a press conference.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said Iran was trying to raise the price of oil as Washington works to end Tehran's exports of crude entirely.

>UN pulls staff from Sudan amid growing global concern

African Union to hold emergency meeting as death toll continues to rise following military crackdown on protesters.
aljazeera.com/news/2019/06/pulls-staff-sudan-growing-global-concern-190606061405500.html
The UN will pull staff out of Sudan as the AU (AU) holds an emergency meeting after the violent dispersal of a protest camp in the capital killed 12x of people.

The UN plans to relocate personnel because of the violence but will have "critical" members in the country, its spokeswoman Farhan Haq said on Weds.
"What we are doing is temporarily relocating some of the staff from Sudan. There will still be some staff on hand to perform critical functions but because of security some ... are being relocated temporarily," said Haq.

According to the Central Committee of Sudanese Doctors (CCSD), at least 108 people have been killed and more than 500 wounded after security forces opened fire on Mon to clear demonstrators from their site in downtown Khartoum, which they had occupied for weeks demanding civilian rule after autocratic leader al-Bashir was deposed in April.

The CCSD said 40 bodies were pulled from the Nile River on Tuesday and taken to an unknown location by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The Transitional Military Council (TMC) ruling Sudan since overthrowing al-Bashir hasn't commented on the allegations.

On Thurs, state news agency SUNA cited a health official as saying the death toll did not exceed 61.

Al Jaz is unable to independently confirm the differing tolls after its journalists were ordered not to report from the country.

Sudan's pro-democracy leaders vowed to press ahead their campaign of civil disobedience until the TMC is removed and killers of protesters are brought to justice.

The Sudanese Professionals Association asked people to block main roads and bridges on Thursday to "paralyse public life" across the country in retaliation for the military's crackdown.

>DEEP CONCERN FEELS UPDATE
=============================

Russia says 'extremists' in Sudan must be subdued

Russia said it opposed foreign intervention in Sudan and the authorities in Khartoum must subdue what it described as "extremists", Russia's RIA news agency reported.

The Russian foreign ministry also said it supported the holding of elections in Sudan.

"Naturally, in order to do that, you need for order to be imposed, and you need to fight against extremists and provocateurs who don't want the stabilisation of the situation," Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov was quoted as saying.

"That's the situation right now, but we are against any external intervention, the imposition of anything on the Sudanese," he added.

>UAE watching Sudan developments with concern

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is monitoring developments in Sudan with great concern and supports the continuation of a dialogue between the different parties, the Emirati foreign ministry said in a statement.

"The UAE hopes that wisdom, voice of reason, and constructive dialogue would prevail between all Sudanese parties, in a way that guarantees security and stability of Sudan, helps spare its people the scourge of evil, safeguard its gains and ensure its unity," said the statement published by the state news agency WAM.

"The UAE emphasised the importance of resuming talks among various Sudanese forces to realise the aspirations of the brotherly people of Sudan," it added.

>Sudan rebel leader Yasir Arman arrested

A senior Sudanese rebel leader who returned to Khartoum to take part in talks with the military has been arrested, a spokesman for his movement said.

Yasir Arman, deputy chief of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N), was seized from the house where he was staying in Khartoum by armed men who arrived in pick-up trucks and surrounded the building, the spokesman said.

"They took him without clarifying to us the place [they would take him to] and said they were from the National Intelligence and Security Service," said Mubarak Ardol.

The spokesman charged that the armed men "beat" Arman and his assistant and destroyed surveillance cameras outside the house.

>Sudan paramilitaries raped and assaulted protesters and medics

Witnesses describe attacks in Khartoum during deadly assault on pro-democracy sit-in
theguardian.com/world/2019/jun/04/sudans-military-council-calls-for-snap-elections-in-wake-of-deadly-protests
Paramilitaries who killed 35 people when they attacked pro-democracy protesters in Khartoum on Monday also committed multiple sexual assaults, beat up medical staff and volunteers at clinics, looted and destroyed property in hospitals and threatened doctors and medical workers with reprisals if they provided care to the wounded, witnesses have said.

Hundreds were injured in the attack on a sit-in in the centre of the Sudanese capital and in clashes afterwards as the paramilitaries, from the feared Rapid Support Forces (RSF) spread through the city to quell sporadic unrest.

Video clips circulated on social media show the RSF and other armed forces shooting and beating unarmed people on the streets.

Harrowing details of rapes by the paramilitaries are also emerging, despite restrictions on communications in Sudan.

At least one such assault took place when the RSF invaded a hospital close to the site of the sit-in where injured protesters were being treated. Others occurred in the street when paramilitaries chased and caught fleeing civilians, activists said.

Lt Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the leader of the transitional military council (TMC) that took power in April after ousting president Omar al-Bashir, announced on national television early on Tuesday morning that polls were planned in nine months.

Burhan also said that all previous agreements with the main opposition coalition had been cancelled.

>US Media Reveals True Reason Why Pentagon Deployed Naval Armada Near Iran
Tensions between Iran and the US have been running high since Washington withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal on 8 May 2018 that was supposed to lift anti-Tehran sanctions in exchange for Iran maintaining the peaceful nature of it programme. Since then, the Trump administration has beefed up pressure on Tehran, having imposed tougher sanctions.

Several unnamed US officials have told CNN that the Pentagon decided to deploy an aircraft carrier strike group to the Middle East last month after it allegedly turned out that Iranian officials were not taking the US warning seriously.

"It seems tensions have dropped some, but we are still watching very closely, we haven't relaxed, we remain vigilant", one defence official was quoted as saying.

The insiders claimed that even though initial warning messages were sent to Iran through an unknown third party on 3 May, the Pentagon had some intelligence that Tehran was unfazed. Several days later the US publicly announced that it was dispatching military forces to the Gulf.CNN additionally cited Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, as telling an audience at the Brookings Institution that after a purported threat of an attack emerged on 3 May, "we also saw in the intelligence that perhaps there was a question about the will and capability of the United States to respond".

"In the last weekend of April, I began to see more clearly things that I had been picking up on over a period of months", Dunford reportedly said, adding that he remembers on 3 May, "multiple threat streams that were all perhaps coming together in time".

>Putin Sees Significant Risk International Arms Control System Will Break Down
In late-May, US Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) Director Lt. Gen. Robert Ashley said that the United States believes Russia may not be adhering to the nuclear testing moratorium outlined in the 1996 Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.

Speaking to the heads of international news agencies at the annual St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the US withdrawal from missile defence agreements is a step towards the destabilisation of global security.

According to the Russian president, Russia will not extend the New START treaty if no one wants that.

“If no one wants to extend the New START, we will not [do that] then. We have already said a hundred times that we are ready, no one is negotiating with us so far. There is no formalization of the negotiation process, and in 2021 it will all end. I draw your attention, there will be no tools at all to limit the arms race, or, say, deployment of weapons in space," Putin said at a meeting with editors-in-chief of international news agencies.

He also urged the international public to take part in a transparent and open discussion on global security.

Last week, Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) Director Lt. Gen. Robert Ashley claimed that Russia may not be adhering to the nuclear testing moratorium.arlier this year, Trump announced that the US would unilaterally withdraw from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, pointing towards Russia's 9M729 cruise missile, which American officials claim violates the existing limitations.

Russia has repeatedly denied the allegations that the missile violates the 1987 accord.

The great Bilderberg secret of 2019 had to do with why, suddenly, the Trump administration has decided that it wants to talk to Iran “with no preconditions”.

It all has to do with the Strait of Hormuz. Blocking the Strait could cut off oil and gas from Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and Iran – 20% of the world’s oil. There has been some debate on whether this could occur – whether the US Fifth Fleet, which is stationed nearby, could stop Tehran doing this and if Iran, which has anti-ship missiles on its territory along the northern border of the Persian Gulf, would go that far.

An American source said a series of studies hit President Trump’s desk and caused panic in Washington. These showed that in the case of the Strait of Hormuz being shut down, whatever the reason, Iran has the power to hammer the world financial system, by causing global trade in derivatives to be blown apart.

The Bank for International Settlements said last year that the “notional amount outstanding for derivatives contracts” was $542 trillion, although the gross market value was put at just $12.7 trillion. Others suggest it is $1.2 quadrillion or more.Tehran has not voiced this “nuclear option” openly. And yet General Qasem Soleimani, head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps’ Quds Force and a Pentagon bête noire, evoked it in internal Iranian discussions. The information was duly circulated to France, Britain and Germany, the EU-3 members of the Iran nuclear deal (or Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action), also causing a panic.

Oil derivative specialists know well that if the flow of energy in the Gulf is blocked it could lead to the price of oil reaching $200 a barrel, or much higher over an extended period. Crashing the derivatives market would create an unprecedented global depression. Trump’s former Goldman Sachs Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin should know as much.

>Iran is literally in the position to crash the petrodollar fiat debt system
>mutts and Jow Forums tards still think US would dare go to war with Iran when even the Houthis showed how vulnerable oil infrastructure is
There is the reason why US going to war with Iran would be Russian dream scenario. Imagine akk that price jump and sales jump in Russia alone.

>Trump’s former Goldman Sachs Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin should know as much.
