With the advantage of naive inexperience welded to my deeply felt desire for freedom for the Iranian people, I propose the following battle plan for consideration by US President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Against the IRGC, first, do harm …
After months of bombing Iran’s military infrastructure, the IRGC remains the most important target in the war against Iran’s nuclear program and its terror network. And of course, the suppression of the Iranian people.
Drawing on years of inexperience in the military, coupled with my experience as a keen and close observer of current affairs, I have developed the following forward war plan. It is secret so please do not share it.
1 Do not reveal any plans and intentions about the war in public. And don’t believe anything Iranian negotiators say.
2 In collaboration with Israel, devise a strategy to identify for intense bombing all hard ISGC targets, from weapons depots to accommodation centres as a first strike.
3 As a second strike, task Israel to use its formidable intelligence apparatus to begin eliminating senior ranks of the IRGC throughout Iran.
4 In collaboration with Israel, identify key locations across Iran that could provide safe haven for air drops of small and medium weapons suitable for use in an uprising, along with satellite monitoring of IRGC ground forces to protect insurgents.
5 Insert covert operatives inside Iran to help organise insurgents, supported by high tech surveillance and communications abilities, under targeted high volume bombing cover.
6 Invite Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi to deliver an address to the people of Iran announcing a Transition Government in Exile to be followed by popular elections.
7 Assemble a multinational peacekeeping force for deployment in Iran (avoiding UN involvement) and invite the Iranian army to join.
8 Once the IRGC has been eliminated or neutralised, work to extract and dispose of the nuclear material Iran has developed to date.
This rough outline serves only to suggest an architecture. The devil is in the detail – I’ve asked the devil to stand by …
Sorry Andrew , spellcheck left out a few letters . I hope my words are worthy. In 1944 , my dad was the one to come home out of 731 who tried to stop communism from advancing in italy. It’s a sad story. I’ll tell you some time if you want to hear it. 730 young men gave everything to stop communism from advancing, through Yugoslavia. Only one remained to tell the story. He did not tell the story , because he feared retribution against his family . Human history is full of tragedies. Let’s not put up with any more.
Good plan Andrew. All components are essential. Clearly after the first time taking to the streets , a lot of lives were lost. 40,000 to 50,000 in a single day. An outcome like that clearly shows that , in this case , the sword has been mightier than the pen. But no! Last week they took to the streets again. It’s a hard thing to do because even the bravest who is clearly prepared to sacrifice his/ her life for the cause , in the back of the mind will always be the terrible thought …. What will happen to my family if I am not there any longer to shield my family. A million M1 rifles or more delivered to the population is a small gesture , .The people of Iran will do their part no matter what the risk , as shown by last weeks return to the streets. A million patriots is stronger than a million villains. The American war of independence proved what a rag tag militia can do against a professional army. They understand the reluctance of the US to put troops on the ground , but, Trump said “we will not let you down “ having said it , he will have to honour his promise. Removing these murderous regime has to be done. 90 million peoples lives are at stake. Let’s get these bullied . Just imagine a world where a major player in death and destruction has been removed. If we believe the words of Lincoln at Gettysburg .4 score and 7 years ago our fathers brought forth a new nation , conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that ALL men are created equal. Freedom is a God Given right to all men. I hate injustice wherever it arises . You know that Andrew. ! We know that ultimately evil will only succeed if good men stand by and do nothing. Pv
