For the Iranian regime, there are no secrets.
At least from the United States and Israel.
And the explanation of why you expect: there are some moles inside.
Let’s start with the literal damage: in recent weeks, more than a dozen key Iranian army sites and Iranian-backed defense force sites have been bombed, burned or sabotaged in a different way.
This is the headquarters of Iran’s nuclear program and its main missile progression site.
Second, what is still known to be only civilian infrastructure sites have also been affected by mysterious fires in the country, adding a key petrochemical plant and shipyard.
As they moved to Syria, rapid and successful Israeli attacks on Iran-backed Hezbollah sites, where several Iranian officials were hanging out, have also increased in recent times.
On Thursday, an Iranian aircraft buzzed through an American F-15 fighter jet and was forced to fall sharply in an incident originally attributed to an Israeli fighter jet.
And finally, (so far), large explosions occurred Sunday at Iran-backed defense force bases near Baghdad. Defense forces blame Israel for such attacks, yet the United States would possibly have been involved.
Let’s prevent here and say that if this is the first time we’ve heard about those incidents, you want to seriously expand and replace the domain where you get your news.
But why is this now and what’s the message here?
The knee-jerk answer is that the U.S. and Israel are simply trying to increase the pressure on Iran, which is apparently suffering more from the COVID-19 virus than its neighbors and is reeling from yet another downturn in its economy. Throw in the political pressure on U.S. President Donald Trump in this election year and the constant pressure Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is experiencing, and this looks like just another momentary escalation in hostilities.
But the answer, founded on my sources, is that there are at least two key army leaders in Iran who have opposed the regime. They provide the United States and Israel with the source code for cyberattacks and data on the movements of other commanders.
For example, the United States probably announced the Iranian passenger flight to warn Iran that it knew at least one senior Iranian army officer on the plane, as well as weapons hidden in the civilian cargo. More information about the flight provided on Friday through Iranian journalist and exile Heshmat Alavi here.
The transparent message to Iran from the United States and Israel is that they now know where the main cannons and commanders are hiding. The drone, planned civilian infrastructure sites, and primary damage to missile and nutransparent sites are the result of damaged data that was beyond the “top secret.”
The result is that there are virtually no more secret Iranian operations. And, possibly, the United States and Israel will “disable” those objectives by various means at their disposal.
None of this is new to Iran. After the fires in what gave the impression of being an indescribable chemical plant and a few smaller ships in a shipyard, the regime learned that the proverbial staff was in place. As a result, my resources did not threaten to expose a plot that the hierarchy did not yet know. They just can’t locate the authors.
The cause of these risingies is probably the consequences of the confusion and movement of the force that took a stand as a result of the U.S. operation to locate and kill the vanquished commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Qassem Soleimani. General Soleimani’s repositioning, Esmail Ghani, is not so respected, and the changed internal circle he organized at the IRGC has left other generals feeling a little lagging.
IRCG’s fatal crackdown on Iranian protesters in November and December 2019, which left thousands of irrepressible Iranians dead, also left the terrorist army on the most sensible list of dissidents. But it is more the result of the anger opposed to the infantrymen of Iraq and other countries brought to Iran to brutally suppress the protesters. Some IRGC members have been disappointed by the use of these foreigners and their prospect of undermining Iran’s “purity” in place.
There is no indication that the United States or Israel would abandon this attack on the list of targets provided to them through these experts from the Tehran regime. This means that other people with a force-like appearance in Iran have to make a resolution: sign up for those who undermine the government, or threaten to wait too long and end up without a chair when music stops.
Meanwhile, attacks, suspicious fires, power cuts and other bureaucracy of chaos afflicting all facets of Iran’s war and terrorist device will continue. Unfortunately, there is an almost endless list of such targets and it is connected to the world’s number one killer regime.
But the mask is out of what was once a secret network of now vulnerable sites, and no one cries when it is informed that each of them is neutralized in one way or another.
