Time to reject military action


IT would be utterly immoral of the United States to launch a military attack upon Iran if it is true that one of the missiles that destroyed an oil refinery in Saudi Arabia on Sept 14 had a casing bearing a number that suggested the weapon was manufactured for NATO forces. The letters preceding the number denote the type of missile and one of its uses. The picture of the missile was inadvertently supplied to the media by the Saudi Defence Ministry (pic, Reuters).

A theory that has emerged in the wake of the picture of this missile is that the assault on the oil refineries in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province could have been a false flag operation initiated by John Bolton who was sacked by President Donald Trump as national security adviser around that time. It was his way of orchestrating a “parting shot”, which he could then blame on Iran, a state that he has always targeted in pursuit of his neo-conservative agenda of emasculating Israel’s regional adversaries in order to ensure the latter’s supremacy and hegemony.
