Former CIA high-ranking official accidentally reveals the type of the false flag operation that the US imperialists will orchestrate to start a war with Iran


In the following video, Jimmy Dore makes an analysis of an interview that the former CIA deputy director, Michael Morell, gave on CBS, regarding the recent developments after the assassination of the Iranian major general, Qasem Soleimani. 

Morell describes a probable scenario according to which the Iranians and their proxies could retaliate further. And therefore, this will naturally and eventually lead the US to start a war with Iran. As Morell points out:

                    Hopefully, that can de-escalate now, but that doesn't mean the covert war is over. [...] There are two things we need to think about here. One is, still, down the road, at some point, an assassination of a senior US official, somewhere in the world, could be months from now, to get revenge. And then, two, we still have to worry about those Iranian proxies. They may still attack US military bases ...


Note, that this interview was taken AFTER the Iranian retaliation through the missile attack on US military bases inside Iraqi soil, as a response to the assassination of Soleimani.

Yet, perhaps what's more interesting, is the fact that Morell gave an interview, again on CBS, right after the assassination of Soleimani, but BEFORE the Iranian retaliation. The quite impressive thing here is that Morell repeated the same scenario as the most probable, yet he also said that Iran could respond militarily (as eventually happened), something which could lead the US to war with Iran.



Morell's interviews indicate a specific pattern through which the US deep state attempts to escalate tension and eventually, start a war with Iran. It is probable that the easily maneuverable Trump was manipulated by the warhawks, who persuaded him to give the order for this unprecedented action. It is also probable that Trump pulled back the last minute and didn't start the war as he knew that this would mean his political ending. We know that many Americans voted him because of his alleged 'anti-interventionism'.

So, Morell actully revealed the deep state strategy and even a rough timeline. As he said in his second interview, "an assassination of a senior US official, somewhere in the world, could be months from now". As we already pointed out, the US imperialists escalate tension with Iran, trying to achieve a maximum that will coincide with the 2020 US presidential election. The US deep state will take action to eliminate the chances of any anti-war progressive to become the next US president. Then, either a corporate Democrat or Trump will follow the plan and start a war with Iran.

And perhaps even more impressively, Morell's revelation is remarkably close to what we predicted through our article How the US deep state could justify a war with Iran with two consecutive false flag operations, more than a year ago.

As we wrote back then:

                    In a first false flag operation, the US intelligence will seek to stage the assassination of one of the most hawkish high-ranking officials in Trump administration. Of course, they will 'discover' pro-Iran 'terrorists' behind this action, or foreign secret agents working with Iran, or find some similar story to put the blame on Iran. [...] Yet, since such a false flag may still be proved inadequate to convince the public about the necessity of another war, the US deep state may stage a second false flag operation as a 'terrorist attack' inside the US soil and put the blame on some kind of 'Iranian extremists'. For the deep state evil brains US citizens are expendable, after all. Whatever it takes to proceed with their plans.

Check out Morell's highlighted words above and spot similarities and differences.

But even without any false flag operations, we are already now at the point of no-return. The bloodthirsty imperialists managed to put again the explosive fuel at the heart of the Middle East. The slightest spark will be enough to help them start another, even more disastrous war, at the time they will choose. And this would be definitely right after the 2020 US presidential election because whichever puppet they choose, they will have a clear four-year period ahead to spread further chaos in the Middle East.

So, either with Trump, or, a corporate Democrat, it seems that the war with Iran is inevitable.

Yet, the Americans do have some restricted options. It seems that only a real, anti-war progressive as the next US president could save the country not only from the ruthless neoliberalism, but also from another, even more disastrous war. It seems that, for the moment, there are only two options: Bernie Sanders and Tulsi Gabbard. Until the day of the presidential election, the deep state will fight them fiercely.

Israel is responsible for one of the cruelest genocides in modern history

UN Palestinian Rights Committee   In her address to the Human Rights Council on 3 July 2025, Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, warned of a genocide unfolding in Gaza and the West Bank.    She described the situation as “apocalyptic,” stating that “Israel is responsible for one of the cruelest genocides in modern history.”    With over 200,000 Palestinians reported killed or injured and the real toll “far higher,” she accused Israel of dismantling humanitarian aid in Gaza, replacing it with a “so-called 'Gaza Humanitarian Foundation' [that] is nothing else than a death trap.”    She emphasized that this was not an isolated crisis but part of a decades-long “settler colonial project of erasure” that has intensified in recent months through military force, starvation, and mass displacement. Albanese condemned the deep complicity of corporate and state actors i...
