Iran Seizes Iraqi
Oil Field to Justify Domestic Repression
"This increases the likelihood
of a military solution, whether carried out by Israel alone or with the
cooperation of the Americans. … We can explain this as an attempt to open a new
front and concoct a crisis to justify the use of additional domestic
repression."

The
danger presented by Iran's intransigent government is no secret to the average
person.
The risk of a domestic storm
materialized after the regime's refusal to accept the results of the presidential
election and the resulting demonstrations and divisions among the ayatollahs
and mullahs. It's clear that an iron fist hasn't squelched the resolve of
reformers, which makes it necessary to have an alternate plan for coping with
the most serious internal uprising to occur in the Islamic Republic since the
Revolution.

As for threats from abroad, the
first relates to the Iranian nuclear project and Tehran's stretching out of
talks on a diplomatic solution. This increases the likelihood of a military
solution, whether carried out by Israel alone or with the cooperation of the Americans.
Even without military action, Iran may not be able to tolerate further
sanctions, particularly if the Americans manage to gain the support of the
Russians and Chinese in this area.
Based on these observations
we can explain Iran's recent move to demand compensation from Iraq related to
the Iran-Iraq War in excess of $1 trillion. In addition, they have occupied and
Iraqi oil field near the border and raised the Iranian flag above it. We can
explain all of this as an attempt to open a new front and concoct a crisis that
would obstruct the other tracks and justify the use of additional domestic
repression.
On the ideological level, it's
clear that Iran is willing to sacrifice Arab Shiites for the sake of the
Iranian project, otherwise, how can we explain its reversal toward the Iraqi
government?

Arab Shiites [as opposed to
Persian Shiites] have belatedly begun to realize that for the sake of its plans
in Yemen, Lebanon, the Gulf States and finally in Iraq, where it had a hand in establishing
the political system, Iran is prepared let all Shiites and Sunnis burn.
These maneuvers require Arabs
to stand with Iraq against Iran's greedy ambitions.
