The United Arab Emirate’s foreign ministry did not issue details about an attack on four commercial vessels near its territorial waters on 12th May except to describe it as “sabotage operations”. However, with heightened tensions in the Persian Gulf Iran did not wait for allegations of Iranian involvement to take flight in western media and was quick to suggest that an international investigation should be launched.
Tensions increased when the scheduled return of the USS Abraham Lincoln to the Middle East on April 2nd was hyped by John Bolton as a “clear and unmistakable message” to Iran that the USA is ready for confrontation. The significance of Bolton’s wording has not been lost when he said the US would counter any attack [by Iran] with “unrelenting force”. Reporters and analysts were quick to contextualise Bolton’s rant against Iran in the demands of Israeli PM Netanyahu. In this respect, the fears of a false flag op which would be blamed on Iran are clear and present. But concerned observers do not appear to recognise the significance of a visit to the USS Abraham Lincoln on May 1st by Albanian President Ilir Meta along with top Albanian military leaders and diplomats.
Why Albania matters
Albania is now home to the Iranian Mojahedin-e Khalq terrorist cult (MEK) and John Bolton has long believed he can use the MEK to facilitate regime change in Iran. One of those ways is to create false flag ops which can be blamed on Iran as a means to provoke a military response. One such event took place in Iraq when it was reported last year, falsely it turned out, that Iran had launched missiles against the US embassy in Baghdad.
In Europe, several unresolved incidents have been blamed on Iran. This author has warned that these are false flag ops meant to destabilise relations between Iran and the EU as well as to provoke Iranian reaction. This activity has now shifted to the Middle East.
MEK operatives, brought from Albania, will be deployed to carry out false flag ops that can be blamed on Iran – such as a suicide attack.
An Albanian source told me off the record that alongside the delegation to the ship he witnessed the presence of Shish operatives taking some Farsi speakers on board the USS Abraham Lincoln who were not disembarked before the ship moved on. Kuwaiti media also reports that MEK operatives have been arrested attempting to buy speed boats in the Persian Gulf. Such a combination is highly concerning. MEK operatives were trained as suicide bombers by Saddam Hussein’s Republican Guard and in the MEK’s camps in Iraq. They have transferred this training to their new closed camp in Albania.
Bolton’s unrelenting drive to attack Iran and his unstinting support for the MEK can only lead to one conclusion: MEK operatives, brought from Albania, will be deployed to carry out false flag ops that can be blamed on Iran – such as a suicide attack. Their unique value is that as Iranians they can be passed off as Iranian naval personnel. This ties in with the attempted purchase of speed boats which are used by the Iranian naval forces. The attack on commercial vessels in the gulf for which no details are forthcoming hint that this was a trial run to see what Iran’s reaction would be. In this context, a false flag op that could trigger Bolton’s war in the Middle East is almost certainly already planned and underway.
I really don’t understand why the writer of this blog and the some commentators keep using name of Iran instead of bunch of stinky rag heads who imposed themselves on Iran for 40 years. The Islamists monsters don’t represent Iran or Iranians. They say publicly whatever they do is for Islam and the writer of blog keep saying Iran. Mullahs never say Iran, they say Islam. Mullahs must go.. Sooner is better because it ends suffering our people sooner. Yes, Bolton and any decent Iranian hate ruling criminal mullahs. What it has anything to do with Iran? Only people who gets benefits from mullahs are insistent they stay in power. They’re traitors who sold out their country in exchange for some benefits they’re receiving from Mullahs.
MULLAHS HAVE GOT TO GO.
John Bolton’s think tank, of which he is a founder member, United against nuclear iran. It is the most comprehensive anti-Iran agenda with massive political propaganda waged against Iran since 2008. Look at “unitedagainstnucleariran.com” all answers given no matter what Iran does, good or bad, doesnt matter, this group of all powerful forces wants to go to war. It has nothing to do nuclear, they put the word nuclear in it otherwise “United against iran” would speak for itself
Excellent reporting by Mr. Khodabandeh, thank you. Meanwhile:
Sign petition to U.S. congress:
Stop Donald Trump and John Bolton from starting a war with Iran. Go on the record that Congress has not authorized and will not support a war of choice with Iran, and that the U.S. should return to the Iran Nuclear Deal by ending inhumane sanctions.

The problem is ruling criminal Mullahs in Iran, NOT U.S.
In U.S the business is as usual, but those stinky rag heads, who occupied Iran’s government, Iran’s parliament and imposed themselves on Iranian people, are the source of problems.
Mek is a wellknown terrorist group, first as sutch considered by the US, mater MEK started to cooperate as terrorists for the US and by this stayd terrorists, even bigger than before !
The bastard with the green sweeter, i saw him ounce on a quai in the Marina from Hammamet Tunisia !
I am no friend of the islamic republic of hell, in fact, I would prefer to go to war against this evil islamic regime which is not representative of its people ( who by the way most of them hate all mullahs), but ally with this group MEK which is responsible for khomeini in the first place and has ZERO support in Iran is the worst option.
