Preparing for launching a war on Iran

The West, with its states and political, intellectual and media forces, is arranging its land, sea and air weapons in preparation for this crucial confrontation, which would likely take place in the Gulf waters, and multiple parties would be involved in it to include the Middle Eastern countries along with countries from outside the region.

In fact, the decision of a war is no longer as easy as it was in the era before World War II. The massive humanitarian disasters that have emerged from that war led all human beings to be watchful before taking the decision of a war, or at least creating a domestic and international atmosphere, so that to make the war looks as if a legitimate act of self-defense, a response to external aggression, or liberating an occupied homeland.

Consequently, heading towards launching a war needs a convincing argument to justify it, and the in recent years the term of “the just war” has been crystallized. This term was associated with the growing force of public opinion in the world and the breadth of its impact on the course of international events, what made it become associated negatively or positively with the support it has at the level of the world public opinion.

Thus, the legitimacy of launching a war was diminished to become finally within the concept (the just war), which means the war that is consistent with the ethical and humanitarian standards, and which obliges peoples and nations to fight forcibly, after the failure of all the peaceful solutions.
The demonization of the Islamic Republic:

Within this context, preparation for the war against the Islamic Republic of Iran is ongoing, and this is an integral part of and a necessary preparation for the theater of military operations and for creating a regional and international atmosphere in order to receive and contain the war, and what might emerge from it i.e. human victims and mass destruction.

The West has invented a method to create the index and indicators that could pave the way for the war and justify it to the public opinion. They also made the war an essential condition of survival and prosperity.

Therefore, an important and sensitive production has evolved in the West since World War II, which was called by the West “building-up a public opinion”; this production combines many factors and influences, and overlaps general psychology, the psychology of masses, along with the varied mass media, the written, visual and audio one. It forms as a whole a huge orchestra having multiple levels and roles, which is called in the West building-up a public opinion. Its primary mission is to influence the public opinion and to control its direction the way that serves the interests of the ruling elite in the colonial Western countries.

As for the mechanism of the action of this vast institution, which is made up of the elite of creative minds in the West, it is based on the different wide range of lies and slanders and on sticking them to the side, party, or institution targeted by this campaign.
There is also an intellectual and psychological frame following-up the course of this complex media campaign, where its subsidiary bodies are the newspapers, political analysis, and monitoring the effectiveness of the impact achieved in each stage of the work of this institution.

In general, building-up a public opinion is not being used recently, but is an old discovery that goes back to World War II, and perhaps the first to use it in practice was Minister of Propaganda in the Nazi era, “Goebbels”, who said his famous slogan: I keep on lying and lying until the lie becomes a reality.

The former U.S. President Ronald Reagan used the same method in the incitement against the former Soviet Union and in representing it as the evil empire, so that to raise the concerns of the Americans and to pass his large military project, known as the Star Wars.

The same method is used by the West these days to prepare for an aggression on the Islamic Republic of Iran. It consists of three successive phases:

1-    Phase I: in which the demonization of the Islamic Republic of Iran takes place; they represent it as a historical enemy of Arabs and of the Arab civilization. As an attached part to this point, the Zionist entity is depicted as the first line defending the West and the Arab civilization and democratic values.

2-    Linking all the pros and cons to the Islamic Republic, and focusing on the Islamic religion, representing it as the source of all evils, and accusing it of inertia and of failing to keep up with the spirit of the age.

3-    The third phase is based on amplifying the lie of the so-called the Iranian nuclear threat, where the Zionist entity assumes that it is the victim threatened by genocide, despite the fact that the Zionist entity posses dozens, even hundreds, of nuclear warheads.

Hence, the ultimate goal of this entire scenario, which is designed with ultimate accuracy, is to depict the Zionist entity as a lamb that is threatened by a ruthless enemy represented in the Islamic Republic of Iran. In such a situation, it does matter where the truth lies, but what is more important is to cut the pathway in front of those who are beating the drums of war.
