THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS

TWELVE DAYS THAT SHOOK THE WORLD!
Title homage to Sergei Eisenstein’s “Ten Days that Shook the World"

Ain’t history a bitch for losers, who had originally assumed they were going to be victorious? The humiliation of Bibi begging Piglet in DC to get Iran from making his Zionist bailiwick a ruin was a sight for sore eyes.

You have to imagine Bibi harboring his obsessive ambition to exterminate Iran for thirty plus years only to see his dream literally going up in smoke at the hands of the very country he had sworn to obliterate. The delicious irony watching his people rushing for open exits to escape his cruel, genocide regime going to places safer than the promised.land. Cyprus, Hungary, Russia, the US, essentially exodus in reverse.

Despite a mighty effort of the IDF military censors to suppress pictures of Jewish cities and ports of entry being pounded into pulp with major sites in those places in smoldering ruins.

Piglet in DC and later at “Daddy’s" NATO gathering (NATO SecGen Mark Rütte is forever on Piglet’s shit list for that remark) spent time backtracking and playing down the loss that broke the American empire. He became a laughing stock, over night as the world realized that the US is currently and for perhaps the next several years is incapable of fighting a conventional war and winning.

The thing is Piglet knows that these 12 days reduced the US and its MiddleEast surrogate to shit show status and that his stringent US bonds interest rates and erratic tariff policy is heading for shambles territory.

For Iran there were lessons to learn. Current Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian spent months after his  election trying to negotiate with the west that he wanted peace and a normalizing of relations but all he earned was their contempt.

True, Pezeshkian was elected with a plurality of votes for making peace with the west and get the punitive sanctions of 40+ years lifted, but it was always going to be easier said than done. You can’t overturn negative attitudes and perceptions about your country, pounded endlessly into the western media narrative and the mental psyche that Iran was the Great Satan, and that wanting to live in peace and mutual respect side by side with superior racists was remotely possible without some event to change their perceptions.

Without a doubt the 12-days did a lot to change from superior arrogance to fear and possible servitude. A bit extreme to say that you might think but it certainly gave them pause and changed their perception of how they thought about Iran before June 13.

One of the worries as I see it is that if Pezeshkian goes into talks with the fawning and meek beseeching  tone that marked his first attempt at negotiating with the west then Iran  will lose. Because one of the major mistakes that he caused was to refuse the military help Russia was prepared  to offer in terms of the latest surface to air S-300 and S-400 missile systems, the beyond-the-horizon radar units plus satellite links for satellite surveillance that Russia’s President Putin offered under the recent Russia-Iran Security Agreement.

Needless-to-say that’s changed but Pezeshkian stills sees it as his mission to make peace with the west rather than look to his east for major economic assistance and friendship.

Frankly, if I was  Ali Khamenei, Supreme Leader of Iran, I would be biding my time enough to order him to resign and call for new elections in time but nit yet as right now is too soon. Things are still in flux for that kind of change unless Pezeshkian offers his resignation.

If Pezeshkian wants to continue he needs to give a certain undertaking that a team more savvy than his seemed to be before the attack are added into the negotiation. Ali Khamenei and others in the Iranian Security Council need to have a major talk with Pezeshkian about how to proceed to negotiate  with an infuriated

That said , we move onto the next steps.
