Israel might resort to false flag ops in US to implicate Iran: Analyst
The powerful Israel lobby has “hijacked” the US Congress, especially the Republican Party, through the neoconservative movement and may attempt to kill the Iran nuclear accord with a false flag operation, a former US Senate candidate says.
Pro-Israel groups in the US have gained significant influence within the GOP through wealthy political donors such as Sheldon Adelson, a Zionist Jew with strong ties to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said Mark Dankof, who is also a broadcaster and pastor in San Antonio, Texas.
Adelson “has openly talked about using nuclear weapons against Iran on a preemptive basis; this is how evil this man is,” Dankof told Press TV on Friday.
“It is particularly frightening to me the number of Republicans that are listening to this kind of nonsense and whose actions in the Congress and in the presidential primaries in this coming year will be dictated by such a man as Sheldon Adelson who is nothing more than an agent for Israel,” he added.
Dankof’s remarks come after Congress began its review of the nuclear agreement reached between Iran and the P5+1 on Thursday.
“So let’s hope that at least in the House and the Senate that these Republican warmongers and their counterparts among the pro-Israel warmongers in the Democratic Party will not have the ability to muster a two-thirds vote against this deal,” he said.
Iran and the P5+1 group of countries reached a conclusion on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on July 14 in the Austrian capital of Vienna following days of intensive talks over Tehran’s nuclear program.
Republicans control majorities in both chambers of Congress. Many have strongly opposed the agreement, which they say will threaten US ally Israel and empower Iran.
If Congress fails to vote down the nuclear deal, Israel may carry a false flag operation in the US and blame it on Iran in order to spark a war between Washington and Tehran, Dankof argued.
“Israel has a long history of engaging in these sorts of operations against the United States when it believes it is in its interest to do so,” he noted.
