IRAN'S TROUBLE WITH THE SYRIAN CONFLICT:




Now, the Good Lord knows The Turkish news media, World Bulletin, has little in common with The Jerusalem Post and it's for that very reason I found the attached two news stories more than interesting.

Admittedly these two stories have a different "twist" on what took place this weekend, but the fact of the mater is, some, like me, are once again wondering about the political stability of Iran.

Everyone knows their leaders have long feared the repercussions of the Arab Spring and the suppressed youth of Iran.

A great example was the pathetic way they tried to lay claim to the Arab Spring as if the whole process was part of some grand Iranian plan.

Much like how poor old Omar Gaddafi attempted to march in the streets of his own capital protesting the "injustices"  of the Libyan government.... look what that got him?

Typically, appeasement arrives too little and too late to save tyrannical leaders.

In Iran's case, the most recent election is seen by some as a unplanned, I say unplanned given I am confident their leaders had no wish for Rouhani to actually win, attempt to "appease" the majority movement in their land......... the moderates!

So, If Rafsanjani has truly made pubic his belief Assad ordered the chemical attacks on his own people or worse yet, stood by and let the Iranian / Hezbollah Commanders in Syria gas Syrians, then we can not help but see this as a very troubling sign for the Puppet Masters in Tehran.

The fact that ILNA posted this story and then changed it, is just another sign all is not well in Iran.

So, why would this be important right now, given all that is taking place in the region?

Let me answer that question with a question.

What has been the primary logic behind holding off on attacking the Iranian nuclear program?

Yep!

The fact some truly believed and still believe Iran's real enemy is it's internal social unrest.

Is this story of Rafsanjani yet another hint of what is really keeping the Puppet Masters up at night?

My hunch is it's doing far more than just keeping them up at night.

As I have said time and time again;  Iran's current leaders cannot afford the loss of it's proxy fighters, Hezbollah, Hamas and Assad.

Just how desperate Iran may become is predominantly base upon just how concerned it's leaders become with disunity in the ranks of it's society.

Remember, the breaking point for Iran is still Hezbollah and the breaking point for Hezbollah is it's families coming under unrelenting attacks in Lebanon.

Is Assad desperate enough to once again utilize WMDs?

In my opinion, this is the wrong question.

The true issue revolves around just how desperate Iran becomes?

A vote in the US House will be the issue over the next week, but the words of a once Iranian President, a very popular one at that, well.... that is critical indictor of where the whole region is heading.
