Israel’s War on Iran: The Geostrategic Chessboard of Empire

Unverified Claims, Verified Agendas, and the True Web of Global Control
A companion piece to: “The Oligarchic Game,” “Business as Usual,” and “Coexistence and Commerce”


Introduction: Parsing Fact from Theory

On June 13th, a report surfaced claiming that Israel launched a surprise attack on Iran, with U.S. involvement, greenlighting, and logistical support. The claim escalates further: Trump-approved intelligence transfers, prepositioned U.S. missiles, and civilian devastation across Tehran. While this narrative is unverified at the time of writing, it represents a growing body of accusations that mirror long-standing, well-documented patterns of American-Israeli imperial strategy.

Rather than dismissing such claims outright or accepting them blindly, this article does two things:

Separates verifiable fact from speculative reporting, and

Connects those facts to a deeply documented historical and geopolitical framework — as explored in:


The Strategic Goals of Empire

Even if June’s alleged attack remains unconfirmed, the overarching motives align with decades of strategy:

Maintain U.S. Hegemony in West Asia (the Middle East)

  • Verified doctrine: The 1992 “Wolfowitz Doctrine” openly declared that the U.S. must prevent any regional power from challenging American global dominance.
  • Regional anchor: Israel functions as an “unsinkable aircraft carrier” (Haig), a “lily pad” or “fort on the frontier”, enabling American projection deep into oil-rich terrain.
  • Geopolitical choke points: The Strait of Hormuz, Suez Canal, and Bab-el-Mandeb are critical for controlling global energy flow.

Business as Usual, which details how Israel functions as a colonial bridgehead for financial and military control.

Destroy the Axis of Resistance

  • Verified members: Iran, Hezbollah (Lebanon), Ansar Allah (Yemen), Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces, and pre-2024 Syria.
  • U.S. and Israel have actively tried to:
    • Overthrow Syria (succeeded in 2024, per verified regime change reporting)
    • Weaken Hezbollah (through border conflicts and assassination)
    • Isolate Iran (via sanctions and military encirclement)

The Oligarchic Game, which describes how foreign aid is used to dismantle national sovereignty.

Overthrow Iran’s Revolutionary Government

  • Historically documented:
    • 1953 CIA-MI6 coup against Mosaddegh
    • Decades of sanctions, regime change attempts, and media demonization
  • Motivation: Iran’s independence from Western financial, military, and petro-dollar systems

The unverified claim that Israel seeks to bomb Tehran “into rubble” echoes the “Which Path to Persia” paper (Brookings, 2009) — which laid out strategies for regime change in Iran, including using Israel to absorb backlash.


Petro-Dollar, Multipolarity, and Global Control

Preserve the Petro-Dollar System

  • Verified: Since 1974, Saudi Arabia agreed to price oil in dollars in exchange for U.S. military protection.
  • Threat: Iran and UAE now sell oil to China in yuan. Saudi Arabia is considering it — a potential death blow to dollar dominance.

The Oligarchic Game shows how foreign aid and arms sales enforce this arrangement under the guise of “stability.”

Crush the Multipolar Project

  • BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) now include Iran.
  • These alliances aim to:
    • De-dollarize trade
    • Resist Western sanctions
    • Promote regional sovereignty

Brzezinski (1997, The Grand Chessboard) warned that a China-Russia-Iran axis would be the “most dangerous scenario” for U.S. dominance.

Coexistence and Commerce explores how Kissinger and Pisar’s diplomacy aimed to integrate and control, not liberate — preferring puppet regimes over rogue independence.


Players and Networks

U.S. and Israel

  • Military partners: Billions in weapons, intelligence coordination, and political cover.
  • Political continuity: Both Trump and Biden administrations heavily fund Israeli operations — a rare bipartisan constant.

Echoes the pattern in Business as Usual: war creates debt, and debt feeds centralized control.

Proxy Armies & Terrorist Assets

  • Al Qaeda in Syria: Former U.S.-backed rebels now govern post-Assad Syria (unverified but widely reported).
  • ISIS & Taliban: Formerly weaponized or “allowed to rise” by strategic neglect.

In The Oligarchic Game, these proxies are not random actors but tools of destabilization — keeping regions fragmented and reliant on IMF, USAID, and military aid.


Unverified but Plausible: The June 13 Attack and Epstein Nexus

Unconfirmed Claims from the Transcript:

  • Israel launched surprise attack on June 13
  • Trump gave the green light
  • 300 Hellfire missiles were prepositioned
  • U.S. air, sea, and land assets were already in place
  • 90% of Iranian casualties were civilian
  • Full evacuation of Tehran was ordered
  • Intent to reduce Tehran “to rubble”

Verification status: No official or credible mainstream confirmation as of now.

But patterns of behavior match historic precedent, especially:

  • Iraq (2003): WMD lies + “shock and awe”
  • Libya (2011): “Humanitarian bombing” led to collapse
  • Syria (2011–2024): CIA-backed regime change

Coexistence and Commerce explains how manufactured crises are used to justify escalation under the illusion of self-defense.


V. Strategic Motifs from Past Articles

“Unsinkable Aircraft Carrier” = Fort on the Frontier

  • Israel is not a rogue actor — it’s a tool of empire.
  • Its function mirrors that of British colonial ports in the 19th century: serve the metropole’s interests, not regional peace.

Echoes Business as Usual’s thesis: “Israel’s wars are America’s wars, with plausible deniability.”

Psychological Operations and Normalization

  • As with Epstein, many global events involve assets rather than agents.
  • Keeps agency invisible while enacting imperial objectives.

The Oligarchic Game and Epstein articles explain how:

  • Blackmail networks
  • Trafficking rings
  • Controlled media
    …are used to trap political elites into silence or support.

VI. Conclusion: The True Agenda

The war on Iran — verified or not — is a continuation, not a deviation. It extends the long arc of U.S.-Israeli empire:

  • Economic control via petro-dollar enforcement
  • Military dominance through permanent war
  • Political manipulation using proxies, think tanks, and public confusion
  • Cultural warfare to weaken resistance and normalize occupation

Whether bombs are falling on Tehran today or next year, the geostrategic logic is in place. The war machine is oiled, the players are aligned, and the empire is desperate to maintain its grip.

And so, we must continue to ask:

  • Who profits?
  • Who dies?
  • Who decides?
