Yesterday Reza Kahlili posted an article at the Washington Times<\/a>\u00a0about what he believes are the intentions of the current Iranian regime.<\/p>\n

First of all, the article explains who Reza Kahlili is:<\/p>\n

Reza Kahlili is a pseudonym for a former CIA operative in Iran<\/a>\u2019s Revolutionary Guards and the author of \u201cA Time to Betray\u201d (Threshhold Editions, Simon & Schuster, 2010) He is a fellow with EMPact America and teaches at the U.S. Department of Defense\u2019s Joint Counterintelligence Training Academy (JCITA).<\/strong><\/p>\n

He definitely has the insight to look past the obvious and see what is actually going on. Mr. Kahlili reports that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei<\/a>\u00a0has told the Iranian Revolutionary Guards to prepare for war.<\/div>\n

The radicals ruling Iran<\/a> have long believed that obtaining the nuclear bomb will make them untouchable and will facilitate the expansion of the Islamic movement in the region and the world in bringing the West to its knees. They also have concluded that because of the troubles in the world\u2019s economy and financial troubles in America, even a limited confrontation with America would benefit the Islamic regime.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As of yet, we do not believe Iran has nuclear weapons, but they do have a lot of conventional weapons. One option (that has been mentioned a lot lately) is to close down the Straits of Hormuz. Another option is to target U.S. bases in the Middle East\u00a0with their missiles, disrupting the movement of U.S. forces and the operation of the Air Force, which the guards believe will be the main thrust of any attack by America.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The guards also are targeting four U.S. air bases in Afghanistan<\/a> as the main launching pads for any attacks on Iran<\/a>. The Bagram Air Base, home to most of the U.S. Air Force presence in Afghanistan<\/a>, is just 450 miles from the Iranian borders and within range of all of Iran<\/a>\u2019s ballistic missiles. Other air bases in Afghanistan<\/a> that would be attacked by the guards in case of war are in Kandahar, Shindand and Herat.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article also points out that Iran will depend on Russia and China to come to its aid in time to stop any war that threatens the current regime. The bottom line here is very simple–we don’t need a war–we need a regime change!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
