IRAN AND MOHAMMED BIN SALMAN. JUST HOW DANGEROUS IS THIS?

Well, I took the last week or so off and now it’s time to talk about someone I’ve been watching for a few years now. Prince Bin Salman! Not the first time I’ve commented on this very interesting figure. What changed? What made me come back to his status? What made him important enough to talk about given all the other things taking place in the world? Simple. The Persians!

Is it new news the Persians don’t like him? Is it new news they don’t trust him? Is it new news they are worried about his actions? No on all accounts. So, why the trip back down memory lane on the topic? Here is why. Syria, the Russians, the Turks, the Jordanian, the Egyptians  and most importantly, the Israelis. 

Decisions being made:

I’ve said this time and time again, but it’s worth repeating over and over. Decisions are being made about the future of the region and the Iranians are not getting a vote, at least they don’t believe so. Moscow is calling the shots and the perception the Tsar is working with the Persians is just that, a perception. Smoke! Does Moscow care what Tehran says? No. Does the Tsar factor in what is good for the Persians? Nope! Have I said this a dozen or more times in the past two years? Yep! Is the situation with the Iranians getting worse and nobody really sees it? Yep! Why? Why is it getting worse? Moscow? That’s part of the answer. The new US leadership? That’s part of it. The new future King in Saudi? That’s part of it. The growing rift in leadership inside of Iran? Yep. That’s part of it. The fear that that Iran is in real trouble? Yep. Look. At the end of the day, inside the rooms where the old men in Tehran hangout, the picture of the future is not very bright. Then, the worst of all news takes place. The young Prince in Saudi makes his move and it becomes very clear to Tehran the future just got much dimmer. It’s not a good time in Iran and the Old Guard is not happy!

Aggressive vision:

 Have the leaders of Iran had an aggressive vision for years? Yes! Does the future King of Saudi have an aggressive vision for Saudi? Yes. Who is more aggressive? Who is more energetic? Who has fewer obstacles in his way? Yep. The future King. Who knows this to be true? Yep. The old men in Tehran. Who can they truly count on to counter this future King? Iraq? No. Syria? What Syria? Syria doesn’t exist anymore. The Dragon? The Dragon could care less about the Persians other than what do they own the Dragon may want and how many Chinese can be employed inside of Iran. Who’s on the Iranian’s “Friends List” that really matters? North Korea? Yes! Is that a bad thing? Oh yes……………a very bad thing. What can North Korea do about the future King? Nothing. Nothing unless Iran’s nuclear program with North Korea provide Iran with a bomb to hold over the King’s head. Good luck with that concept!

Just not going well:

I’ve said it before, but things are just not going well for the Persians and the Old Men know it. Internal pressure is building and the weak friends list is growing weaker. On top of all of that, place a future King who has Iran on his hit list and you have a recipe for Hyper Tension pushing Old Men’s health to the limit. Who is the next real leader of Iran? Who is going to attempt to hold the revolutionary line? When Chavez died, the idiot who took over Venezuela was doomed from day one. Who can hold Iran together when the Old Man dies? Keep an eye on the one true hero of Iran. If you don’t know who I am talking about you need to read more. It’s coming!
