Russia Warns Gulf Arab Countries About American Bases: “They’re Not Protection—They’re A Threat”

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

A beyond troubling new Security Council (SC) report circulating in the Kremlin today first noting President Donald Trump declared last week: “We want to be involved in the process of choosing the person who is going to lead Iran into the future”, says when pressed on if he is insisting that Iran becomes a democratic state, President Trump told CNN yesterday: “No, I’m saying there has to be a leader that’s going be fair and just”—thus confirming this is an illegal regime change war, which is causing Americans to wonder if top President Trump official Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is still selling her “No War With Iran” t-shirts for $24.99.

Also last week, this report notes, President Trump said he would back the Kurds if they launched an offensive inside Iran and proclaimed: “I think it’s wonderful that they want to do that, I’d be all for it”—then President Trump declared yesterday: “I don’t want the Kurds to go into Iran…They’re willing to go in, but I’ve told them I don’t want them to go in…The war is complicated enough as it is…We don’t want to see the Kurds get hurt or killed”.

Following the United States military admitting last week that American bombers “most likely” struck the Iranian school that killed nearly 200 schoolgirls, this report continues, when asked about the attack President Trump said his own military was wrong and declared yesterday: “No, and based on what I’ve seen, that was done by Iran”—an obviously lying declaration that caused Middle East expert Mohammad Shams to most factually observe: “Investigations by the world press confirm the direct responsibility of the United States for the mass murder of Iranian girls…Any attempts to whitewash the image of the American army are futile; its history is black – both regarding Iran and its partnership with Israel, which has been condemned at the United Nations for genocide”.

While a stunned world watches President Trump reversing course and outright lying, this report details, Secretary Ali Larijani of the Iranian Supreme National Security Council warned today: “The United States must understand that crossing Iran’s red lines and violating international law will not go unanswered…Iran will not leave America’s aggression and insolence unanswered, and will not let them off the hook…The hysterical behavior and undiplomatic language of Donald Trump reflect a strategic deadlock and his absolute subservience to Israeli policies, something that has effectively changed the slogan ‘America First’ into ‘Israel First’”.

Quickly following the warning issued by Secretary Ali Larijani, this report notes, Iran attacked the United States military contingent at Camp Arifjan in Kuwait with high-precision missiles—it was also warningly observed today: “The United States military and its allies across the Middle East are struggling to combat Iran’s swarms of cheap attack drones as the war enters its second week”—the American defense article “Iranian Attacks On Prized Missile Defense Radars Are A Wake-Up Call” fearfully revealed: “Iran’s attacks on high-value American radars that enable the region’s missile defense capabilities appear to have succeeded on multiple occasions”—and Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev truthfully warned: “The Gulf Arab countries let American bases onto their territory…Naively, they expected protection from them…Like hell!…The US just uses them, while protecting only one country…Think long and hard about whether you really need US bases – they’re not protection, they’re a threat”.

In an interview with CNN foreign correspondent Christiane Amanpour, this report concludes, former Saudi Arabian intelligence chief Prince Turki Al Faisal branded the conflict “Netanyahu’s War” and assessed: “I don’t think that the system in Iran will collapse anytime soon…As I said, the Iranian leadership has been preparing for an eventuality like this because of what they have continued to hear from Mr. Netanyahu in the past 40 years…He has been calling for the destruction of Iran and so the Iranians obviously, you know, took note of that and have been preparing themselves for such an eventuality”—and was an assessment joined by the Israelis erupting in protests yesterday in Tel Aviv to defend Iran.
