Global Research Referral Drive: Our Readers Are Our Lifeline


***


Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni convened the Group of Seven (United States, Canada, Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy, and Japan), being currently under the Italian presidency, G7 has “unequivocally and in the strongest terms condemned the direct and unprecedented attack of Iran against Israel”.


They then expressed “full solidarity and support for Israel” and reaffirmed “our commitment to its safety“. The G7 is silent on the fact that the launch of drones and missiles occurred in response to the Israeli attack on the Iranian Consulate in Damascus (Syria), where over ten diplomats and officials were killed. They ignore that the Iranian Government had warned the White House much earlier of the demonstration action it would carry out. In this way, the United States and Great Britain – whose air, naval, and land forces in the Middle East were long deployed – were able to shoot down many of the Iranian drones and missiles easily. At the same time, Israel used the missile systems supplied by the United States to shoot them down.


The United States and Germany supply 99% of Israel’s arms imports: 69% of Israel’s arms imports come from US producers, while German producers supply 30%. This enormous war supply allows Israel to wage a high-intensity war in Gaza and, at the same time, carry out increasing attacks in Lebanon and Syria. All this within the framework of the plan the United States and its allies try to maintain dominion over this region through war, they are losing. Iran is in their crosshairs above all because it has become a BRICS member with Russia and China, and plays a key role as Russia’s North-South Corridor and China’s New Silk Road hub.


Germany has supplied Israel with five Dolphin-class submarines and is about to deliver a sixth. Three more Dakar class submarines, destined for Israel, will also be built by the German ThyssenKrupp under a 3 billion euro contract. All Dolphin submarines have been modified by ThyssenKrupp to launch nuclear-tipped missiles like the American Popeye Turbo. The new Dakar submarines, which Germany will supply to Israel, will have a greater nuclear attack capability. This allows Israel to permanently keep nuclear attack submarines along Iran’s coasts, while other nuclear missiles are ready for launch from air and land platforms, aimed at Iran and other countries in the region.
