With
the Trump and Netanyahu administrations now working in lockstep,
U.S.-Israeli hostility towards Iran has now ripened into a plan to
repeat what befell Syria over six years ago – the hijacking of
minor protests and their transformation into the cover for a
foreign-funded insurgency intent on toppling Iran’s elected
government.

Using
the recent protests as cover, the governments of the United States
and Israel are advancing a much larger plan for covert regime change
against the Iranian government, one born out of the “secret deal”
negotiated and signed between the two countries right before the
widely covered but relatively small protests in Iran began in late
December.
That
deal, negotiated between National Security Adviser and neocon darling
H.R. McMaster and his Israeli counterpart Meir Ben-Shabbat, secured
the full cooperation of the Trump and Netanyahu administrations in
targeting Iran’s “threatening activities” through a series of
“memorandums of understanding.”
As
the Times of Israel reported, such cooperation is ultimately expected
to translate into “steps on the ground” — a vague way of
implying that aggressive actions will soon target Iran, including
potential military action.
Yet,
since the agreement was announced in the press, the evidence seems to
point to the development of a more covert operation that is set to
begin with the assassination of a top Iranian general.
