Official Iranian Fars News Admits Goal of Saudi Attack was aimed atDonald Trump’s 2020 Presidency

An editorial in the official Iranian Fars News today tacitly admits the goal of the Saudi attack this past weekend was to bring down Donald Trump’s 2020 Presidency.

The title of the piece: The Iranian who Overthrew Carter Also Overthrows Trump Here is a translated version of the editorial from Fars News:

Mike Pompeo, the US secretary of state, immediately accused Iran of seizing an attack on Saudi Arabia’s largest oil field, claiming that there was no evidence that the drones were fired from Yemen, Iranian soil had been fired. However, he did not provide any evidence for his allegations, and his remarks were still under investigation.

Also, Col. Turki al-Maliki, spokesman for the Saudi-led coalition, also accused Iran of involvement in the attack, saying preliminary investigations showed the weapons and explosives used in the attack were Iranian-made.

Of course, the Houthis, in response to al-Maliki’s statements, may say that the advanced weapons and equipment used by Saudi forces in their attacks on Yemen is also American-made, but where is the problem?

“The drones that attacked Saudi Arabian oil and gas refineries were Yemeni-made and were fired from Yemeni territory,” said Brigadier General Yahya Fast, Yemen’s military spokesman Ansarullah. The five UAVs were equipped with jet engines and were made with materials that Saudi Arabian radars could not detect and steered control systems in Yemen. “

“We do not lie and have the courage to speak the truth without any hesitation,” said John Fast. “We are planning to announce a major military operation in the future, in which we will control 2 kilometers of Saudi territory and our troops will capture thousands of Saudi troops…

…The attack on Saudi oil facilities, no matter who did it, represents the transition from traditional to cyber warfare or a combination of the two, and may be the precursor to further attacks on other Saudi infrastructure such as water and power stations at a later stage, and Certainly, Trump, who exacerbated the situation by withdrawing from the nuclear deal and imposing severe sanctions on Iran, is responsible for such attacks, and the Iranian who overthrew Jimmy Carter will overthrow Trump in the next election. God knows.

But the EU just extended a line of credit to Iran worth billions

That's about as smart as offering no downpayment home loans to the unemployed.

I no longer support “boots on the ground” in ANY Mideast s-hole country. If our vital national security interest is truly threatened - that country is literally exterminated.

“Fars News today tacitly admits the goal of the Saudi attack this past weekend was to bring down Donald Trump’s 2020 Presidency.”

How’s that working out?

She’s a hypocrite.

She referred yesterday in a Tweet to the Saudi rulers as dictators, which is actually true - there is not a drastic amount of political difference between the self-proclaimed royal house of Saud than other non-royal dictators - they rule pretty much as they see fit.

Yet the Mullahs in Tehran are NOT drastically different either, as they chose who can and cannot get “elected” into a parliament that is pretty much a rubber stamp on whatever the Mullahs want to dictate. Yet, Ms Gabbard did not suggest that Iran too is a dictatorship - which it is.

Trump should have come back against her Tweet about the Saudis dictatorship with the retort: “And the Mullahs in Tehran are what???”

I knew it. I am convinced that people in bed with Obama and globalists et al are engaging in geopolitical machinations to try and force the hand of the United States of America.

Good thing Trump doesn’t fall for this crap. GOP is already known to have a history with costly conflicts, e.g. Afghanistan, Iraq. They’re trying (failing) to get the GOP to be even more Against Trump. I’m not talking about the GOP members, but the GOP insiders in Washington who are all part of the ruling class in Washington who have had to stomach Trump ruining their gentleman’s club of U.S Politics they’ve been playing at over there.

For 50 years and more that beltway has been able to influence the shaping of nations and the toppling of empires. They’ve been sampling the sweetness of being the movers of the world’s greatest country and they absolutely hate Donald Trump for ruining their party.

Oh, but Tulsi Gabbard just told Neil Cavuto that Saudi Arabia is a much bigger threat than Iran!

I agree, the sanctions are much more effective than lobbing a few cruise missiles.

Wasn’t that Carter a brain trust...

Yeah, Jimmah should have cloned the killer rabbits and had them patrolling the Persian gulf.

In the middle East game of who follows the correct interpretation of Islam the Iranians have now made it clear that hydrocarbon processing infrastructure are valid targets of military attacks.

I hope the Saudis bomb every plant the Iranians have under their control.

They are trying to bait big Don into a war, first with the oil tanker stuff and now this. He just slapped them with much more sanctions.

If DJT wins re-election on 11/3/20, I wouldn't want to be on the ground in Iran on 11/4/20.

Green light the Saudis to take out the revolutionary guard or their leaders. How hard is this? Not one boot. No nation building. Let them decide if they want to be forever mired in islam. ( Small I used to denote disrespect).

No she didn't. Neil Cavuto did one of those "So what you're saying is ..." to which she responded "No." Saudi Arabian Wahabism, and it's brother Salafism, is a threat to the entire world. The Saudis ain't our allies.
