Pompeo Forms “Iran Action Group” to Coordinate Iran Strategy, Reports Directly to White House
mintpressnews.com/iran-action-group/247920/

Pompeo told reporters the action group would be “directing, reviewing and coordinating all aspects of the State Department’s Iran-related activity.”

August 17th, 2018

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced on Thursday that the United States has formed an “Iran Action Group” within the State Department to guide Washington’s post-nuclear deal policy. The group will coordinate all activity and policy related to Iran, including inter-agency initiatives after President Trump withdrew the US from the 2015 nuclear deal in May.

Pompeo told reporters the action group would be “directing, reviewing and coordinating all aspects of the State Department’s Iran-related activity.”

It is to be headed by current State Department director of policy planning Brian Hook, who will in turn report directly to Pompeo. Hook has been a lead negotiator attempting to pressure European allies to significantly alter prior commitments related to the international deal.

“Our hope is that one day soon we can reach an agreement with Iran but we must see major changes in the regime both inside and outside of its borders,” said Pompeo, and added, “The Iranian people and the world are demanding that Iran finally act like a normal nation.”

Echoing prior statements which suggest the administration could be exploring ways to foster regime change, Pompeo said the State Dept. is committed to a “whole of government effort to change the Iranian regime behavior.”

Hook also addressed the briefing, saying he’ll be guiding an “elite teams” of foreign affairs officials to implement a “new strategy” which “addresses all manifestation of the Iranian threat and the new Iran Action Group will be focused on implementing that strategy.”

The group, Hooker said, will “play a critical role in leading our efforts within the Department and executing the president’s Iran strategy.”

This will chiefly include attempting to ensure European and other allies conform to the White House’s re-imposed sanctions to stop what it has called Iran’s “malign activities” in the Middle East.

This will involve ratcheting up pressure to curb European imports of Iranian oil, especially as a November 4th deadline approaches in which sanctions will be reimposed on those still still dealing with Iran.

Since Trump’s pullout of the JCPOA, the US has demanded a complete renegotiation based on new terms while accusing Tehran of still seeking nuclear weapons, something which the European Union has balked at, refusing to comply.

But the new “Iran Action Group” is sure to also continue previously revealed plans for regime destabilization, including a US-sponsored 24/7 Farsi-language channel to combat Tehran’s “fake news” in order to push back one what Pompeo earlier in the summer described as “the long-ignored voice of the Iranian people”.

And in early July it was revealed that a high level joint US-Israeli “working group” had already been meeting for months which involved top White House and State Department officials, including National Security Advisor John Bolton, which reportedly held informal strategy sessions discussing scenarios of pursuing regime change in Iran.

Axios reported at the time: “Israel and the United States formed a joint working group a few months ago that is focused on internal efforts to encourage protests within Iran and pressure the country’s government.”

Pompeo’s new initiative appears to be a formalization of plans connected with the joint working group, worrisome for the fact that both Bolton and the Israelis have long advocated for the US to wage preemptive war on Iran.

On Monday, Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei declared that Iran would never enter direct alks with the Trump White House, stating in a tweet, “THERE WILL BE NO WAR, NOR WILL WE NEGOTIATE WITH THE U.S.”.

With Iran’s economy plummeting, and with Washington formalizing inter-agency cooperation for further action targeting Tehran, it appears the two sides could be headed toward an Iraq-style collision course — whether this takes place months from now, or years.

Isn't it wonderful, the State Department is going to figure out how the Pentagon can spend their $725 billion budget.

None of this implies we are going to invade Iran.

Office of Special Plans
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of_Special_Plans

The Office of Special Plans (OSP), which existed from September 2002 to June 2003, was a Pentagon unit created by Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith, and headed by Feith, as charged by then–United States Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, to supply senior George W. Bush administration officials with raw intelligence (unvetted by intelligence analysts, see Stovepiping) pertaining to Iraq.[1] A similar unit, called the Iranian Directorate, was created several years later, in 2006, to deal with intelligence on Iran.[2]

Reminder that Iran isn't a threat to the US, but Israel is and remains a factor of massive threat to the US, now and into perpetuity (regardless of the perpetuity of Israel itself).

The porn thing is really something, because Israel has a law in place that you have to sign up for a special register to be able to acces porn… So, do the Israelis just ship that shit out to the goyim, or are the Israelis such disgusting people that they just sign up without giving a shit?… One seems more likely than the other.

Really?
That's odd, because since the 1980's we have been told that Iran is "weeks/months" away from building a bomb, and again int he 90's, and in the 00's and in 2010' and again every few years and months after that. Do you have a single fact to back that up?

65 Years Ago Today, the CIA Conspired with the UK to Overthrow Iran on Behalf of Big Oil

Today marks the 65th anniversary that the west carried out a coup in Iran that destabilized the county by overthrowing the country’s democratically elected leader, Mohammad Mossadegh, and installed a CIA groomed dictator.

What was once considered a conspiracy theory is now a fact as the government has since admitted to carrying out Operation Ajax that was planned by the CIA in conjunction with MI6 in the UK to exploit the Iranian people and steal their oil on behalf of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AIOC) – the British state-owned oil company established in 1908 with this objective in mind and the forerunner of today’s global oil conglomerate BP.

As TFTP reported last year, the State Department released a trove of documents that give insight into the CIA’s role in the 1953 coup d’état that led to the overthrow of Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadeq.

The newly declassified documents, titled “Foreign Relations of the United States, 1952-1954, Iran, 1951–1954,” provide a notable difference from the State Department’s 1989 version of the coup, which left out any involvement from American and British intelligence.

A memorandum from Director of Central Intelligence Allen Dulles to President Eisenhower, dated March 1, 1953, serves as a reminder that internally, “the elimination of Mossadeq by assassination or otherwise,” was used as a method in repairing ties with Iran, restoring oil negotiations, and stopping a “Communist takeover.”


Another memorandum from the CIA, dated March 3, 1953, detailed the “Capabilities of CIA clandestine services in Iran,” which could be used to “prevent the assumption of power by Tudeh,” Iran’s Communist party.

The list included mass propaganda means; personal denunciations and rumor spreading; street riots, demonstrations, and mobs; and providing assistance in Iran “After Tudeh Take-Over.”


While the conversations initially supported Mossadeq as Iran’s prime minister, the tone soon changed, and a memorandum from the CIA, dated March 18, 1953, noted that top State Department officials had begun discussing “The general subject of Mossadeq’s continuance in office.”

In addition to its array of “services” listed above, that were used to control the situation in Iran, the CIA also advised the soon-to-be leaders. In a memorandum, dated August 14, 1953, the CIA detailed a meeting with Fazlollah Zahedi, the Iranian general who would become Mossadeq’s replacement.

>“Earlier meeting with Zahedi showed him firm of purpose but inhabiting dream world so far as his subsequent program concerned. Spoke of free medical care for the third class citizens, mechanizing agriculture and growing vast crops of cotton on Moghan Steppes, equalizing wealth by income taxes, etc. Time [is] not right for us to argue issue but we [are] warning strongly against making impossible promises in early speeches. It [is] clear Zahedi will need firm, realistic guidance.”

In a memorandum, dated August 17, 1953, the CIA revealed its attempts to control public opinion after the coup, by telling Kermit Roosevelt, the director of the operation, that the State advised its “press relations people” to stay away from terms such as “coup d’état” and “plot,” while working to convince the public that if there was a coup, it was on behalf of Mossadeq—not Zahedi. Two days later, they carried it out.

“Roosevelt should be advised that State has passed the word to VOA and instructed its own press relations people to avoid any such terminology as ‘coup d’état,’ ‘plot,’ etc., and that while playing the story ‘straight’ they should play up the fact that there is another version of the story supported by both Zahedi and now the Shah which indicates that if there was any coup d’état it was that of Mossadegh and not of Zahedi.”

The archive includes nearly 1,000 pages of documents, and while it is significant in framing the stage for today’s relations between the United States and Iran, it also important based on the fact that it is information the U.S. has attempted to bury.

The idea that the CIA would meddle in a sovereign nation, work to overthrow its government, and then influence public perception, is nothing new in 2018. And yet, despite years of revelations, regime-change wars and failed proxy governments, there is still a perception among the American people that the government interfering with countries that have done nothing to the U.S., all in the name of “freedom.”

Almost as if Iran serves as controlled opposition to increase western presence in the ME.

It's almost as if zionist propagandists are trying to use reverse psychology to convince skeptical corners of the population that Iran is "controlled opposition".

If trump wanted to end the foreign wars he would have done so one year and 8 months ago. But he's kept up and troop withdrawals have not yet happened.

Israel wants us to go to war with Iran, a literally who who doesn't do anything to hurt us, in order to disrupt the near east and allow the greater isreael project, in which kikes take over even more land that isn't theirs. That's old hat.
Question is why the fuck trump is going along with this. We dodge the war with russia and now we get a war with iran? How about we go switzerland route, stop fighting stupid fucking kike wars, and we improve the lives of our actual citizens until people stop starving to death in the streets because we've had two decades of wage stagnation and extreme cost of living inflation.
Yes, I'll enjoy my smartphone while I'm sleeping under a bridge because all rents are more than half of the typical income. Not average, read, typical.
Mexico floods us with millions of invaders who want to establish a reconquista under la raza.
Afghanistan floods us (via glow in the darks) with illegal drugs.
China floods us with industrial spies and housing speculators which price our children into the street.
Why are we going to war with Iran? What have they done to us? They sit over there in their sandy shithole being irrelevant. They aren't the ones murdering our citizens in the streets and taking every measure to impoverish them.

jesus christ the absolute state of this board. Go read a history book.

He ended Obama's funding of ISIS which pretty much ended the Syrian War, the only one where there were boots on the ground courtesy by Obama.
The damage is already done and withdrawals have to be gradual and will probably have to picked up by next presidents. If you brought everyone home you'd have massive power vacuums and 10 new ISIS deep state puppets popping up.
This isn't pre-WW2 anymore. Roosevelt transformed the US into an Empire which will be very hard to undo.
Exiting various UN organizations and ending foreign aid is a start towards that goal.

Bump for based muslim arabs.

I'm losing interest in Trump and his GWB Jr 2.0 administration.

America would’ve gone against Iran anyway for they’re the center of the Eurasian routes while America stand for trade on the oceans. Land versus sea powers.
