The Neocons' old scenarios..

Israel, using America's power as its own, is orchestrating a very dangerous game in our immediate neighborhood. This game, which aims to divide the region along ethnic fault lines, fragment it, and keep it in a state of chaos, seems designed with the delusion of making Israel a 'regional hegemon'. It appears that Israel, which wanted to do this in Syria but failed, now intends to arm certain groups and deploy them as "Goyim soldiers" into the Iranian arena.

The war the US and Israel have opened against Iran was a war the Neocons had dreamed of for decades. The Neocons are the incorrigible trumpeters of America's endless wars. It's impossible to separate the Neocons, who are among the components of the American Military-Industrial Complex, from Israel. Many American analysts see the Neocons as an influential network and mechanism in shaping US Middle East policy solely within the framework of Israel's interests.

One of the well-known characteristics of the Neocons is that they pretend to talk about American interests while actually advancing Israel's specific agendas. The 2003 invasion of Iraq was also about Israel's interests. The Neocons argued that the US could transform Iraq into a Western-style democracy and from there democratize the entire Middle East. It seems obvious that the claims of democracy and modern nation-building were just a facade; on the contrary, the aim was to keep the wider Middle East in a state of perpetual conflict, perpetual war, and perpetual chaos.

Funded by big arms companies, the Neocons even established institutes to identify countries' "Achilles' Heels," their weakest points. One of these studies, targeting countries that might deviate from the US path, was conducted on Iran by the "Hudson Institute." It's interesting that this study was done in the years before the 1979 Iranian people's revolution. This is because the US and Britain, who had overthrown Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh for nationalizing Iranian oil in 1953, had reinstalled the fugitive Shah of Iran. The Hudson Institute did not overlook the possibility that Iran might gain autonomy from the US again in the future.

The famous American economist Prof. Michael Hudson, who worked as a petroleum and economics specialist at the Hudson Institute in the 1970s, recounted how the institute's founder, Herman Kahn, took him to a secret meeting with generals. At the meeting, game theories on how Iran could be divided into five or six ethnic groups if it pursued a policy independent of the US were discussed. Listen to what Prof. Hudson said:

"I was working with Herman Kahn at the Hudson Institute, and in 1974 or 1975, he brought me to participate in a military strategy discussion of the plans being made to overthrow Iran and divide it into ethnic parts. Herman identified that the weakest point was Baluchistan on Iran's border with Pakistan. The Kurds, Tajiks, and Turkic Azeris were other elements whose ethnicities would be used against each other."

Prof. Hudson also noted that these ethnic elements played a role in shaping US policy towards both Iran and Pakistan. Prof. Hudson stated that the cooperation between the "American Military-Industrial Complex" and Israel was facilitated by Herman Kahn. Particularly emphasizing that the institute was a Zionist organization, Prof. Hudson said, "One of my colleagues was Uzi Arad. We took a series of trips together to Asia. Uzi later became an advisor to Netanyahu and the head of the Mossad. So, while the main outlines of American strategy were being drawn, I was kind of sitting right there."

Herman Kahn, who came from a family of Jewish immigrants from Poland, gained fame with his 1960 book "On Thermonuclear War." Kahn, who put forward the idea of a 'winnable' nuclear war in his book, simulated potential conflicts with war games for the "RAND Corporation," which worked for the US Government. Kahn is said to have inspired the character of the same name in Stanley Kubrick's film "Dr. Strangelove." The film, released in 1964, satirized a mad American general starting a nuclear war against the Soviet Union. In the film, Dr. Strangelove portrayed a fawning, ex-Nazi scientist who kept giving Hitler salutes.

The Iran scenario, scripted by Kahn and other Neocons decades ago, has been taken off the shelves, and filming has begun by Israel with the help of the US. But real wars are not games. A pre-written war scenario falls apart in the very first act.
