Israel Talks 'Preemptive Strike' on Iran as China Slams US as "Root Cause" of Tensions
By Tyler Durden / ZeroHedge
While all major powers and signatories to the JCPOA are cautioning Iran in the wake of its declared uranium enrichment ramp-up, there’s been mixed reaction and a blame game already emerging.
Early this week Israel’s Foreign Minister went so far as to say Israel may “act alone” to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, while China’s reaction was very different, slamming US policy and its “maximum pressure” campaign as the “root cause of the current tensions,” according to Reuters. EU signatories, meanwhile, urged further dialogue and expressed “extreme concern” over Iran’s breaching the 300km uranium enrichment ceiling.
To be expected, Tel Aviv has remained the most bellicose in reaction to Iranian enrichment activity. Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz told Israel Army Radio that the Jewish state would not “allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons, even if it has to act alone on that”.
And Katz further told an international security forum in separate comments that Iran was on its way out of what he called the “gray zone”. “It should be taken into account that mistaken calculations by the (Iranian) regime … are liable to bring about a shift from the ‘gray zone’ to the ‘red zone’ – that is, a military conflagration,” he said in a speech, according to Reuters.
“We must be prepared for this, and thus the State of Israel continues to devote itself to building up its military might for the event that it will have to respond to escalation scenarios,” Katz added.
Additionally, even mainstream media reporting now acknowledges that Israel has long been on record as mulling a preemptive strike scenario, per Reuters:
Israel has long threatened to take preemptive military action to deny Iran the means of making nuclear weapons. Tehran says it has no such designs. One of its senior lawmakers warned on Monday that Israel would be destroyed within “only half an hour” should the United States attack Iran.
This followed President Trump’s condemnation that Iran was “playing with fire” in breaking prior terms of the nuclear deal, something Iran’s leaders have slammed as full of hypocrisy given it was the US which unilaterally pulled out of the 2015 deal in May a year ago.

However, China has grown bolder in its pushing back against threats and the “pressure campaign” out of Washington and Tel Aviv.
Only two weeks ago China urged the world to stand down from opening “Pandora’s Box” in the Middle East amid the soaring tensions in the Persian Gulf.
A top Beijing official, Chinese State Councillor Wang Yi, had specifically called on the United States to cease its “extreme pressure” campaign against Iran. Notably, this came after he met Syria’s foreign minister in the Chinese capital.
“We call on all sides to remain rational and exercise restraint, and not take any escalatory actions that irritate regional tensions, and not open a Pandora’s box,” Wang said. “In particular, the U.S. side should alter its extreme pressure methods,” Wang said.
But if indeed both the US and its ally Israel get bogged down in yet another lengthy Middle East quagmire, China and Russia would sit back and emerge the likely winners.

Have You Heard Of The CIA’s IRAN MISSION CENTER
In 2017, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) created A $PECIAL UNIT — the Iran Mission Center — to focus attention on the U.S. PLANS AGAINST IRAN. The initiative for this unit came from CIA DIRECTOR JOHN BRENNAN, who left his post as the Trump administration came into office. Brennan believed that the CIA needed to focus attention on what the United States SEES as PROBLEM AREAS — North Korea and IRAN, for instance. This predated the Trump administration.
Brennan’s successor — Mike Pompeo, who was CIA director for just over a year (until he was appointed U.S. Secretary of State) — continued this policy. The CIA’s IRAN-RELATED ACTIVITY had been conducted in the Iran Operations Division (Persia House). This was a section with Iran specialists who built up knowledge about political and economic developments inside Iran and in the Iranian diaspora.
It BOTHERED the HAWK$ in Washington — as one official told me — that Persia House was filled with IRAN SPECIALISTS who HAD NO SPECIAL FOCUS ON REGIME CHANGE IN IRAN. Some of them, due to their long concentration on Iran, had developed sensitivity to the country.
Trump’s people wanted a much more focused and belligerent group that would provide the kind of intelligence that tickled the fancy of his National Security Adviser John Bolton.
To head the Iran Mission Center, the CIA appointed Michael D’Andrea. D’ANDREA was central to the post-9/11 interrogation program, and he ran the CIA’s Counterterrorism Center. A$$$A$$INATION$ and TORTURE WERE CENTRAL to his approach.
It was D’ANDREA who EXPANDED the CIA’s DRONE STRIKE PROGRAM, in particular the signature strike. The signature strike is a particularly controversial instrument. The CIA was given the allowance TO KILL ANYONE WHO FIT A CERTAIN PROFILE — a man of a certain age, for instance, with a phone that had been used to call someone on a list.The DARK ART$ of the CIA are precisely those of D’Andrea.
What is germane to his post at the Iran Mission Center is that D’ANDREA IS CLOSE TO the GULF ARABS, a former CIA analyst told me.
The GULF ARABS HAVE BEEN PUSHING HARD FOR ACTION AGAINST IRAN, 
a view shared by D’Andrea and parts of his team. For his HARD-NO$ED ATTITUDE TOWARD IRAN, D’ANDREA is known—ironically—as “AYATOLLAH MIKE.”
D’Andrea and people like Bolton are part of an ECO$Y$TEM of MEN who HAVE A VISCERAL HATRED FOR IRAN and WHO ARE CLOSE TO the worldview of the SAUDI ROYAL FAMILY.
THE$E ARE MEN WHO ARE RECKLESS WITH VIOLENCE…WILLING TO DO ANYTHING IF IT MEANS PROVOKING A WAR AGAINST IRAN. 
Nothing should be put past them.
