Nefarious goals and low means, as far as I see it! After State Secretary John Kerry’s visit to Iraq, it became crystal clear that Washington does not intend to thrust its armed forces into the present Iraqi conflict and is ready to accept the scenario of the break-up of this country into 3 pieces – Kurdish, Shiite and Sunnite. For the US, it is currently more important to further inflame its tensions with Russia to undermine the foundations of the present Russian government and to weaken its economy by using the Ukrainian conflict. At the same time, the White House sincerely wants to drag Iran into an armed conflict in Iraq, to firstly plunge Teheran into an inter-ethnic and inter-confessional conflict there and to then blame Teheran for interfering in the internal affairs of a sovereign Arab nation, and then demanding the UN Security Council invoke the appropriate measures in accordance with Chapter 7 of the UN Charter which allows the use of force. Meanwhile, it would also force Iran into new financial and economic sanctions which would perhaps even include its nuclear program and put the country’s missile program and other armed developments under control like it happened with Resolution 687 of the UN Security Council, invoked against Baghdad under Saddam Hussein after Iraq’s aggression against Kuwait. Washington’s plan for using the Iraqi conflict to prevent any sudden increase of oil exports from Iraq and Iran is thus clear as day. After all, both of these countries could increase exports up to 20 million barrels per day within 5-6 years. This would crash global oil prices for the main oil exporter and main American partner in the region, Saudi Arabia, with the subsequent downfall of the presently aged Saud monarchy and the possible breakaway of the Shiite Eastern Province from the Saudi kingdom, where practically all of the Saudi oil is produced. No less than 70% of all oil exports from the Persian Gulf would then be controlled by the “Shiite Crescent” nations and headed by Iran. Furthermore, the US also wants to begin exporting its own oil, which is why they don’t need competition at all. Incidentally, imposing new sanctions against Iran would allow the west to also shelf any plans for developing this country’s gas industry and the Southern Pars deposit in particular. This means that the Qatari regime will remain the main supplier of liquefied gas in the Persian Gulf while the Americans will continue to impose their projects of exporting its liquefied shale gas into Europe.
