One Iran strategy potentially taking shape resembles the Venezuela playbook—using economic strangulation as a prelude to political, and possibly military, decapitation, aimed ultimately at Ayatollah Khamenei.

Ayatollah Mohsen Araki, member of Iran's Assembly of Experts on Leadership: In the event that Iran is subjected to an attack by the United States or the Zionist entity, or in the event that the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is targeted, the declaration of a comprehensive jihad ruling against Zionists and American political, military, and economical targets.

"U.S. PREPARING FOR MILITARY STRIKES ON DRUG TARGETS INSIDE VENEZUELA" U.S. military leaders are formulating strategies to strike at drug traffickers within Venezuela, with operations possibly commencing in just a few weeks. Conducting strikes in Venezuela would signify an additional escalation in the military strategy of the Trump administration aimed at alleged drug targets and its policy towards the Venezuelan government. The question arises regarding Maduro's reaction should the US target locations in Venezuela. Will he consider it a declaration of war?

According to Lavrov, another threat to Russia is taking shape: Britain is attempting to build a its own security organization out the EU and Ukraine. From this perspective, the issue is not NATO expansion, but the gradual transformation of the European Union itself - from a peaceful economic and political community into a military bloc with explicit security (or, as they put it, deterrence) ambitions.

President Trump told CBS today the war with Iran could be over soon. As I told David Gura at Bloomberg last week, two forces will ultimately shape how and when this ends: markets and munitions. Watch the oil, stock, and bond markets. And watch our supply of missiles (offensive and interceptors) and that of our regional partners. Expect a declaration of “victory” that trades one ayatollah for another.

Venezuela Out of Options After the seizure of a third Venezuelan oil tanker by the United States, the economic strangulation strategy against the Maduro government is intensifying. Maduro had hoped for a land invasion that would at least give him a chance to wage guerrilla warfare, but it now appears he will face his greatest pressure from a lack of resources to keep the Venezuelan state functioning. He lacks sufficient weapons to inflict meaningful damage on the U.S. fleet in the Caribbean. This week, Iran offered help and began discussions on the Caribbean issue. However, there is effectively nothing Iran can do. Although Iran possesses weapons as long-range anti-ship missiles, anti-drone systems, and others, these would have needed to be installed months ago and were not. Ultimately, no one can solve Venezuela’s problems except Trump himself. * Russia and China keep the silence as in a deal with Trump.
