THE PLAN: ►http://hacktivist.me/the_plan.html #Syria
English
This is merely my personal view, based upon several recent events.
Some of them have been ignored, while others have received significant attention.
What is “the plan”?
The plan’s objective requires eliminating one enemy directly, such that the rest will fall as a matter of course. In this way, the most is achieved at the lowest possible military cost.
The explanation may be a bit boring, but I have to put all points first, then connect them, so you can understand the plan clearly.
United States:
The Unites States (and it’s allies) are very upset from the Iranian nuclear project, in addition to supporting Assad’s regime with artillery and weapons for killing protesters in Syria, and the management and arming Hizbullah in Lebanon, which have become a concern to Israel (in which is the first U.S ally)... After the U.S experience in Iraq (which is considered as a failure on the military, and the political aspects), thus it’s not in the U.S benefit to repeat the Iraqi mistake.
Arabian Gulf:
Iran did some actions, that annoyed it’s neighbors in the Arabian Gulf, starting from moving the Shiite community in Iraq and the Gulf (especially Bahrain) to stir up sedition, and the seizure of three islands of the UAE, and control the Strait of Hormuz (which is the gateway of the oil).
Israel:
As I mentioned earlier, Israel is the first ally of the United States (and most European countries) ... Therefore, the weapons supply from Iran to Hezbollah in Lebanon via Syria, and the threats that Iran fired constantly of hitting Israel and erasing it from existence, made Iran a source of concern for Israel and its allies.
Executing the plan:
Israel has a missile shield, but the estimated time to intercept a sophisticated missile from Iran is longer than it should. Therefore Israel bought three German-made submarines, capable of carrying ballistic missiles (which already did) and stationed one of these submarines in the Red Sea.
The United States sent American warship with a huge aircraft carriers, and stationed close to the Strait of Hormuz... Thus Israel has ruled out Iranian missile attack on its territory.
At a specific time, Israel will act provocatively to Iran (and most likely will hit one of Iran’s nuclear facilities, or a strike on a military base Syrian or Iranian in Syria), and the reaction would be self-evident for Iran to strike back the U.S. bases in the Persian Gulf (being the nearest) and closes of the Strait of Hormuz.
The U.S. forces would intervene immediately in the Red Sea to re-open the Straits, and execute an air/navy raid (with the aid of Israeli submarines).
It would be disastrous... Yes... But in this way the military capabilities of Iran will be destroyd. Thus, Israel can crush Hezbollah without Iranian aid through Syria.
As for Syria, ... After the cessation of Iranian support and Hezbollah, Assad’s regime will Inevitably fall when his ammunition depleted, and no longer has a close ally.
Russia and China:
Russia is trying hard to accomplish the military base in Tartous/Syria in order to intercept the missile shield, but Russia will be late in responding because of the distance and the quick implementation of the paln. As far as we know, there are no Russian or Chinese military bases in Iran, meaning that either Russia or China will have to cross Iran by air, to reach the red sea (Persian gulf). This explains the large quantities of arms and ammunition shipped to Syria and stored Tartous. (Here’s the misconception that Russia supported the Syrian regime with arms only, while the weapons are for the base in Tartous)
Most of the Iranian tech are originally from north Korea, which can be explained as the Russian/Iranian military relations are not that good.
Perhaps Russia would not intervene in an attack on Iran, and only punctuated and denunciation ... But as I mentioned earlier that I relied on news and events only.

Annan Contact Group to inc Iran/russia to discuss tx of power fm Assad = ’please join us to talk about how you lose’.What’s in it for them?
UN-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan will on Thursday propose that the western powers, Russia and China form a new international group to press President Bashar al-Assad into political talks to end the deadly crisis, diplomats said.
Annan could even call for Iran and other key Middle East nations to be let into the so-called Contact Group when he makes the proposal to the UN Security Council, sources said.

Bush Blocked Iran Nuke Deal
►http://consortiumnews.com/2012/06/06/bush-blocked-iran-nuke-deal
France and Germany were prepared in spring 2005 to negotiate on an Iranian proposal to convert all of its enriched uranium to fuel rods, making it impossible to use it for nuclear weapons, but Britain vetoed the deal at the insistence of the United States, according to a new account by a former top Iranian nuclear negotiator.
Seyed Hossein Mousavian, who had led Iran’s nuclear negotiating team in 2004 and 2005, makes it clear that the reason that offer was rejected was that the George W. Bush administration refused to countenance any Iranian enrichment capability, regardless of the circumstances. Mousavian reveals previously unknown details about that pivotal episode in the diplomacy surrounding the Iran nuclear issue in memoirs published Tuesday.
Annan’s new road map for peace in Syria
Kofi Annan is tinkering with a radical idea for reviving his moribund peace plan for Syria — a road map for political transition there that would be negotiated through a “contact group” that could include, among other nations, Russia and Iran.
The former secretary general’s new plan was outlined Tuesday by a diplomat who is familiar with the United Nations mission. The proposal, which is expected to be presented to the U.N. Security Council later this week, comes as Annan’s peace mediation with President Bashar al-Assad appears to have hit a dead end in Damascus, leading to growing concerns that the Syria crisis will spiral into all-out civil war.

Obama Ordered Wave of Cyberattacks Against Iran
►http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/01/world/middleeast/obama-ordered-wave-of-cyberattacks-against-iran.html?_r=1&hp
From his first months in office, President Obama secretly ordered increasingly sophisticated attacks on the computer systems that run Iran’s main nuclear enrichment facilities, significantly expanding America’s first sustained use of cyberweapons, according to participants in the program.
Mr. Obama decided to accelerate the attacks — begun in the Bush administration and code-named Olympic Games — even after an element of the program accidentally became public in the summer of 2010 because of a programming error that allowed it to escape Iran’s Natanz plant and sent it around the world on the Internet. Computer security experts who began studying the worm, which had been developed by the United States and Israel, gave it a name: Stuxnet.
Top Egyptian cleric denounces Shiite mosques

Egypt’s top Islamic cleric on Monday denounced Shi’ite houses of worship in an usual outburst against the Muslim sect, telling Iran’s envoy in Cairo that the husseiniyas promoted “instability.”
Ahmed al-Tayyeb, the imam of the prestigious Sunni al-Azhar institute, met with the envoy a day after scholars from al-Azhar and Islamist groups issued a statement condemning what they said were attempts to spread Shiism in Egypt.

Un groupe de pèlerins chiite libanais a été enlevé mardi par les rebelles en Syrie, a indiqué l’agence officielle libanaise, poussant le chef du mouvement chiite Hezbollah à appeler à la retenue au Liban, où les tensions entre pro et anti-Assad se multiplient.
Treize Libanais de confession chiite ont été enlevés par l’Armée syrienne libre (ASL, composée en majorité des déserteurs) mardi dans la province d’Alep (nord) alors qu’ils revenaient dans leur pays après un pèlerinage en Iran, a rapporté ANI.

Syria’s external opposition, the Syrian National Council, called on rebels in Syria on Wednesday to help secure the release of 13 Lebanese Shia pilgrims abducted near the north Syrian city of Aleppo.
The 13 were among dozens of Lebanese Shia pilgrims on a bus that was stopped by armed rebels as it sought to traverse through Syria to reach Lebanon.
“The Syrian National Council condemns any kidnappings, assault or terrorizing of our Lebanese brothers, and demands their immediate release,” an SNC statement said.

Judge Orders Syria and Iran to Pay $332M in State-Sponsored Terrorism Case
►http://legaltimes.typepad.com/blt/2012/05/judge-orders-syria-and-iran-to-pay-332m-in-state-sponsored-terro
In what one attorney calls the first judgment of its kind, U.S. District Chief Judge Royce Lamberth recently ordered Iran and Syria to pay $332 million for their role in a 2006 suicide attack in Israel that killed eleven people.
The family of Daniel Wultz, an American sixteen-year-old killed in the attack, sued the Iranian and Syrian government in 2008 in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The Wultz family accused both countries of providing financial and other material support to the group responsible for the attack, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
In an opinion (PDF)opinion published Monday, Lamberth found that both countries were liable for the attack under the state-sponsored terrorism exception to the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act. Robert Tolchin of the Berman Law Office in Brooklyn, NY, the Wultz family’s lawyer, said he believed this was the first judgment ever entered in a U.S. court against Syria for supporting a terrorist attack in Israel.
Bahrain: A New Sectarian Conflict? by Joost Hiltermann
►http://www.nybooks.com/blogs/nyrblog/2012/may/08/bahrain-new-sectarian-conflict
Part of what makes the current situation in Bahrain so disturbing is that the regime has succeeded in replacing the narrative of a peaceful movement for reform with an altogether different one: that the country’s majority Shia are intent on driving the Sunnis off the island and handing the country over to Iran. Although last year’s protests were led by predominantly Shia opposition groups, Bahrain’s urban populations have long been mixed and the uprising also drew Sunnis dissatisfied with how the country was run. But now, by mobilizing Sunnis against Shia protesters on the claim the latter are manipulated by a predatory Iran, the regime has made Shia-Sunni hostility the conflict’s overriding theme.

Clinton pressures India to support sanctions on Iran
By Sarath Kumara - 15 May 2012
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton used her three-day visit to India last week to pressure India to fall into line with US sanctions against Iran. She met Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, ruling Congress party leader Sonia Gandhi, and External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna. She also visited West Bengal and met the state’s Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
Clinton acknowledged that Indian imports of Iranian oil had dropped. “We are aware that refineries have cut their orders and the actual purchases have been reduced, so we’re encouraged by what India has done,” she said. At the same time, she called for further cuts, saying: “If the international community eases the pressure or wavers in our resolve, Iran will have less incentive to negotiate in good faith to abandon its nuclear ambitions.”

As reported by Mondoweiss and others, two Israeli artists have begun an “Israel loves Iran” social media campaign to show that not every Israeli supports his or her government’s hostile attempts at instigating war with Iran. But while we’re on the topic of love, let’s share some ways Israel loves Palestine. I wonder when the Israelis against war with Iran will become Israelis against the occupation of Palestine.
