UN Resolution Condemning Iran

 

On 11 March 2026, the UN Security Council passed a resolution (resolution 2817 submitted by Bahrain) condemning "... in the strongest terms the egregious attacks by the Islamic Republic of Iran against the territories of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan and determines that such acts constitute a breach of international law and a serious threat to international peace and security...." This was in response to Iran's retaliatory response against U.S. bases in these countries used to make war on Iran. The resolution "Demands the immediate cessation of all attacks by the Islamic Republic of Iran against Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan;" and condemns the closing of the straight of Hormuz. The vote was passed by 13 for with Russia and China abstaining. The resolution was cosponsored by 135 UN member countries. 

This resolution which inverts reality is much more significant than most (all?) geopolitical analysts realize. This is particularly true in view of Narendra Modi's visit to Israel which concluded 2 days prior to Israel's attack on Iran. During this visit, which occurred 1.5 years into Israel's campaign of destruction and mass murder in Gaza, Modi expressed his strong support for Israel's fight against terrorism and of their ongoing cooperation and friendship. This at a time when a US/Israel attack on Iran was a question of when not if. Think of it. A key member of BRICS jumping on board the imperial bandwagon. So much for BRICS as a counterweight to anything. Then there was the huge 135 UN member cosponsoring of resolution 2817 along with Russia and China abstaining. Abstaining? “Both China and Russia abstained but notably decided not to use their veto power to block this resolution, probably because it got a lot of support, not only in the Security Council but with other member states – 135 other countries cosponsored this resolution that has now been adopted,” (Al Jazeera's Gabriel) Elizondo said. So much for Russia and China supporting Iran. Apparently not if it interferes with economic business as usual. Are  either Russia or China or any of the 135 cosponsors aware that this disgraceful resolution is likely a de facto green light for Israel to use nuclear weapons to re-establish "stability" in the region? In my "Israel Nuke Iran" comment, I estimated the probability at 60 to 70%. In my "Global War I: The Iran Phase" comment, I upped my estimate to 80%. As a consequence of UN Resolution 2817, I now believe that the odds are about 90%. 

I don't believe that the catastrophe unfolding before us is an accident. The collapse of the present system far from resulting in the collapse of empire will, in fact, be an opportunity for the Zionist empire to implement the restructuring of the global economy in such a way as to ensure Zionist elite hegemony. For example, the likely dramatic increase in the price of gas, food and other necessities of life will require governmental subsidy probably utilizing central bank digital currency deposited in digital wallets accessible by citizens with a digital ID. This represents a form of governmental control currently being resisted but which will be accepted by those who wish to survive. Citizens who resist elite policies can have their wallets frozen. These and other economic pressures can be used to implement a totalitarian neo-feudal elite run society. Where economic pressure proves insufficient, direct coercion via our militarized police will be used. Many of the techniques which will be used were developed in Israel as part of their matrix of control used to control the Palestinians, and which the global elites are emulating in order to pacify their local populations. Israel is seen as a good friend to the global elite and consequently has considerable global elite support regardless of the opinion of their citizenry. Our current fossil fuel dependent society is unsustainable, some sort of chaotic restructuring inevitable. The empire is engaged in a high risk strategy to create controlled chaos which can then be managed to imperial advantage. 

Global War I: The Iran Phase

 

To understand where we are at in the unprovoked war on Iran, it is instructive to review what is happening in Gaza. Let us begin by noting that the mass murder of Palestinians in Gaza is justified by the events of October 7, 2023. The Hamas attack on October 7 was essentially allowed to occur as a pretext to justify the mass murder of the Palestinian Arabs in order to resume the Zionist "redemption" of the mythical land of biblical Israel. A "Jewish" state is a central component of Zionist ideology, non-Jews unwelcome in Israel and treated accordingly. Also, in accordance with Zionist plans and objectives, a "Greater Israel" would serve as the regional hegemon. As such, Israel took steps to increase the number of Jewish casualties by first relocating an international music festival to 3 miles from the Gaza border just 2 days prior, and by utilizing the Hannibal Directive to prevent Israeli Jews from being taken hostage into Gaza. As a result, many of the deaths were a consequence of Israeli fire. Additionally, many outrageous and unconfirmed stories were circulated about Hamas atrocities. The official claim is that over 1200 Jews were killed. This was deemed sufficient to justify the mass murder of Gazans officially totaling over 75,000, however, this is a radical undercount. Actual death count probably exceeds 500,000. Please note, however, that in order to "sell" the mass murder of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians it was felt necessary to enable the killing of a relatively large number of Jews as a pretext to implement long standing Zionist objectives. And it worked! The official narrative of the Zionist controlled global empire has inverted reality so that Zionist Jews are the victims of non-Jewish terrorism.

A similar situation has arisen in the war on Iran. Many commentators are perplexed by the logic of the attack on Iran when US/Israel apparently lack sufficient munitions to counter a lengthy Iranian retaliation. What they fail to understand is that large Israeli casualties are seen as necessary to justify Israel's use of nuclear weapons to "defend" Israel from an Iranian "Holocaust" of Israeli Jews. Israel cannot become the regional hegemon using only conventional weaponry. Nor can they become the regional hegemon if they are seen as dependent upon U.S. military might. In order to achieve their Zionist goals, at some point in the near future (3 to 6 weeks?), Israel will probably (80%) attack Iran with nuclear weapons. Of course, this will have consequences, however, the Israelis have always been risk takers, eschewing prudence, compromise and diplomacy (except as misdirection) in favor of bold militaristic action. And now that the Zionists have gained effective control over the global empire, imperial support for risky Zionist military adventurism is more-or-less assured. In this regard, it must be noted that Zionist ideology is rooted in pre-enlightenment traditions and is to a significant degree irrational. Zionist ideology is rarely modified to reflect empirical reality. Rather, empirical reality is interpreted to be consistent with Zionist ideology. This is particularly true for American Ashkenazi Zionist fat-cats whose support for Israel and Zionism is absolute and unshakable. This has profound consequences for imperial policy and actions, and for the survival of the species.

As this relates to the global war for hegemony in a restructured global economy, this represents the use of military force where the empire has military superiority to insure the control of critical resources (oil, water, food) while that is still possible. At this stage of the game, that will likely require the use of nuclear weapons against non-nuclear Third World nations. What must be kept in mind is that the virtually inevitable collapse of the global economy and financial system would likely bring about the use of nuclear weapons in any event. Hence, the use of nukes now may be thought of as a controlled demolition to create a global system of terror as a means of global control. This is, perhaps, the inevitable consequence of the development of nuclear weapons by the U.S. The use of nukes first as threat then as mass murder weapons by nuclear states against non-nuclear states. And the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is a massive fraud designed to curtail Third World countries from obtaining a nuclear deterrent to First World nuclear attack. This was/is based upon the promise that the nuclear states would pursue nuclear disarmament. And how has that promise worked out? As was to be expected, that's how. And now US/Israel will likely re-establish their nuclear credibility by using these weapons, while simultaneously normalizing the use of nukes as a non-controversial part of military ordinance. And if a nuclear war with nuclear adversaries (Russia and China) can be avoided, dystopian restructuring of the global political economy will continue.  

Israel Nuke Iran? (Addendum 3/4/26)

 

"If we just let our vision of the world go forth, and we embrace it entirely, and don't try to piece together clever diplomacy but just wage a total war, our children will sing great songs about us years from now." (Richard Perle, neocon intellectual)

There are multiple independent analysts (Pepe Escobar, Scott Ritter, etc.) who feel that US/Israel (The Zionist empire) badly miscalculated in attacking Iran and that the empire lacks sufficient supplies (bombs, missiles, etc) for a long war and will run out of war-fighting materials in a couple of weeks, after which Iran will essentially defeat the empire, Israel's survival in question. Apparently, the US has been driven out of its Middle East bases, relocating equipment to Cyprus, aircraft carriers pulled back out of harms way. For some curious reason these analysts, whom I normally respect, don't mention Israel's nuclear weapons (an odd omission) and the possibility/probability that faced with an existential threat (of its own making) due to lack of conventional equipment, Israel will use its nuclear arsenal to destroy Iran and achieve its military objectives. I suspect that was the plan all along and that we are looking at a 60-70% probability of Israel using nukes in the next several weeks.

"...We possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most European capitals are targets for our air force. Let me quote General Moshe Dayan: ‘Israel must be like a mad dog, too dangerous to bother.’ ... Our armed forces, however, are not the thirtieth strongest in the world, but rather the second or third. We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you that that will happen before Israel goes under.” (Martin van Creveld, Israeli historian, on or about 2002)

An additional point worth mentioning is that we are at the end of the hydrocarbon era and need to transition to a sustainable society. We have already gone well past the point where a smooth transition to sustainability is possible. We are headed for collapse and upheavals. As such, military adventurism leading to systemic collapse in order to seek dominance and control in the coming era is not quite as irrational as conventional analysts assume. And Ashkenazi Zionists have a long history of reckless militarism and warmongering which, regrettably, has been remarkably successful.

ADDENDUM (3/4/26):  The more I think about the situation, the more I become convinced that the use of nuclear weapons was and is part of Israel's plan in attacking Iran. Israel's long term objective has always been to create a "Greater Israel" which, in turn, would be the regional hegemon. By itself, Israel lacks sufficient manpower and other resources to achieve this goal with conventional weapons only. Becoming the regional hegemon will require the credible threat of the use of nuclear weapons. The U.S. did this at the end of World War II with the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki when the war was already won and these bombings a demonstration of the willingness to commit mass murder. Israel has already demonstrated a willingness to commit mass murder on the people of Gaza with the approval of the Western elites. Gaza, however, was doable with conventional weapons. Nuclear weapons, however, have not been used (except as threats) since World War II and there is a certain reluctance to use them. Israel's likely use of nukes against Iran will go a long way in achieving its goal of regional hegemony. As for economic consequences, the staunch support of the U.S., NATO, etc., will enable Israel to survive all manner of negative consequences. One indication of a pending Israeli nuclear strike will be if the Western media narrative changes to show Israel facing an existential threat from Iranian rockets, Jews facing another Holocaust, etc.
