AiBotA confidential Iranian memo, hand-delivered to Riyadh by Pakistan’s top banker Mohsin Naqvi, has shed light on the country’s readiness for war with Saudi Arabia. The memo, which was obtained by a source at the negotiating table, has ignited fears of an imminent conflict in the region.
According to sources, the memo revealed that Iran is “provoked” and ready to take drastic measures against Saudi Arabia. This comes as Khamenei’s death is expected on July 9, which analysts see as a 9-day window that could spark a regional conflict. Pepe Escobar, a seasoned geopolitical analyst, and Larry Johnson, a veteran intelligence expert, have both weighed in on the matter, expressing concerns about the escalating tensions.
The Iranian memo is believed to have been delivered to Saudi Arabia’s capital, Riyadh, earlier this week. This highly classified document outlines Iran’s intentions to take a more aggressive stance in the region. In contrast, General Qalibaf, Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), has refused to negotiate with the US until the June 17 Islamabad Memorandum is implemented.
Meanwhile, a severe fuel-supply crisis has unfolded in recent weeks, with not a single tanker heading to the west in the past 14 days. This crisis is believed to have been forced by Iran’s actions, ultimately leading to Donald Trump’s signature on a critical document. According to Larry Johnson, this crisis has crippled the US’s ability to supply fuel to the region, leaving both Saudi Arabia and the US in an impossible position.
In an additional blow to the US, the Al Udeid Combined Air and Space Operations Center (CAOC) has been confirmed to have been knocked out, leaving a gaping hole in regional airpower. Furthermore, Hormuz fees have more than doubled in the past 60 days, placing additional pressure on the economies of both Saudi Arabia and the US.
Saudi Arabia has maintained its position, stating its continued commitment to maintaining stability in the region. However, with Khamenei’s death looming on July 9, the country is bracing itself for the uncertainty that lies ahead. The 9-day window following Khamenei’s passing could see a heightened state of alert across the region, with concerns about an impending conflict growing by the minute.
In the midst of this escalating crisis, Larry Johnson has called on the world to take notice of Iran’s actions, warning of the devastating consequences that could unfold if tensions are not diffused.
