Pentagon – and Daesh: Target Iran — Pepe Escobar

CENTCOM commander Army Gen. Joseph Votel channeled his full Dr. Strangelove in front of the U.S. House Armed Services Committee this past Wednesday.
“We need to look at opportunities where we can disrupt through military means or other means.”
As Orwellian as our times may be, this still ranks as a declaration of war. With the inbuilt consequence of smashing to bits the U.N. nuclear deal struck with Iran in the summer of 2015.
Joseph Strangelove did not bother to chainsaw his words.
Iran is one of the greatest threats to the U.S. today (Pentagon official doctrine; number four after Russia, China and North Korea). Iran has increased its “destabilizing role” and poses “the greatest long-term threat to stability” in the entire Middle East.
