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.
