The US is preparing a strike on Iranian targets. Tel Aviv contributes to fueling conflict. The escalation of the Arab-Israeli confrontation is aimed at the reaction of Tehran, which stands on the side of Palestine, subjected to bombardment by Israel.
Washington’s rapid deployment of the Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group and a group of strategic bombers in the immediate vicinity of Iran’s borders is due to the threat of Iranian forces striking US targets in the Persian Gulf or such US allies like Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
On May 5, 2019, US National Security Advisor to the President John Bolton noted that the White House has objective information about the impending attack from official Tehran. However, the American politician kept silent about the fact that the source of this information is the Israeli special service Mossad.
The information presented was transmitted to the American side during negotiations held in Washington between the Israeli delegation led by national security adviser Meer Ben Shabbat and the team of John Bolton.
The White House administration seriously believes that Iran is ready to organize a provocation against the ships of the American fleet. In order to neutralize this threat, Washington intends to deliver a preemptive strike on Iranian targets. At the same time, Israel takes an indirect part in the conflict.
Apparently, the escalation of the Arab-Israeli confrontation that occurred on the eve of the month of Ramadan is one link of the existing single chain of geopolitical processes directed primarily against Iran, which, in turn, has close relations with the Palestinian Authority.
