IRAN REGIME'S REVOLUTIONARY GUARDS (IRGC) MUST BE TOTALLY DISMANTLED Created: 12 November 2017

In an interview, former CIA director James Woolsey stated, “The US should destroy virtually all of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps infrastructure as well as Iran’s nuclear facilities to reduce its terrorist and nuclear threats.”Woolsey, who was CIA director from 1993 to 1995 during the Clinton administration added, “The next time the IRGC looks cross-eyed at us...
we should turn loose six to 12 MOAB [GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast] bombs on their facilities.”
Carrying 18,000 pounds of TNT, MOAB bombs are the second-largest conventional weapon in the US arsenal, and the largest ever used. Last April one was dropped on a suspected Islamic State target in Afghanistan in April.
“Given what a source of terrorism the IRGC is... instead of talking and proportionality – the hell with proportionality. We should destroy virtually everything we can that has to do with the IRGC,” Woolsey said, adding, “I think their seizing of a US ship [in January 2016] was an act of war. We went to war on less than that in the War of 1812.”The former CIA director qualified that he “would not use MOABs against civilian facilities, but against military facilities... and we would be wise to take out everything related to their nuclear program.”
When asked if this approach might drag the US into a highly volatile and unpredictable war with Iran, he suggested that taking a strong approach might correct what he saw as a failure of the Reagan administration, when in 1983 the US responded to the 1983 Hezbollah bombing of a US barracks by withdrawing from Lebanon.
Woolsey said that he was disappointed that Trump did not scrap the Iran nuclear deal entirely, saying that “the Iran nuclear deal is worse than worthless.”

He claimed that “the US or the IAEA got recordings from overflying airplanes or satellites that there is a spot 100 miles north of Tehran which is highly radioactive.” He continued, “You tell the Iranians you are going to inspect the next day. The next morning they say you cannot go, because it is a military facility. You respond that it was not a declared military facility yesterday. They say, ‘We can make it a military facility anytime we want.’”

In regards to what Woolsey believes Trump should do, he said, “I would deal with the deal under American constitutional law. Any really major international agreement must be a treaty. You are committing the entire American people to something. This should have been a treaty. Its executive agreement status should be canceled, and it should be submitted to the Senate. If approved, it goes into effect, and if not, not.”

In an effort to reduce Iran’s power in the long term “and bring about a saner world,” Woolsey suggested “undermining OPEC, ending the cartel” and bringing the price of oil down to a historic low of $30 a barrel, and “return oil to a free market, which in turn could lead to competition against oil products in the realm of transportation and fuel markets for cars.”

He claimed that if the US and its allies “want to damage Iran and keep them from running the Gulf, they need to break Iran’s economy, and getting the price of oil down is the only thing that does that.”
Woolsey believes that financially attacking adversaries is also a major part of fighting terrorism.

He discussed current CIA Director Mike Pompeo, saying, “So far, so good.” Regarding allegations that Pompeo has politicized aspects of intelligence related to Iran, Woolsey said that “it will go away with time... and people can discount what someone’s views were.”

Woolsey said, that in intelligence you need to “speak softly, carry a big stick and sometimes use the big stick.”

Iran-Back Hezbollah Controls LebanonTerrorism

Iran-Back Hezbollah Controls LebanonTerrorism 21 February 2018 Iran Focus London, 21 Feb - In recent years, when the US has made statements against Iran-backed Hezbollah, they have often followed this up with support for the Lebanese army and security forces, but it is becoming increasingly clear that there is little, if any, distinction between the Lebanese state and the Iran-backed terrorist group. When US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson arrived in Beirut, last Thursday, Hezbollah had created two new problems with Israel: a southern border wall and the debates over oil and gas extraction. This caused Tillerson to make the US position on Hezbollah very clear. Hezbollah is a terrorist organisation with no difference between its military and political wings. He advised that Hezbollah and Iran were creating tensions in the region in order to destabilise the Middle East. Iran seeks the destruction to distract others from its own problems, both domestic and international. It not only ta...
