Soviet Union 1991

Text Chapter 228: Pressure from the United States

First update

Intelligence wars have always used truth mixed with false information to confuse their opponents. For example, CIA agents received news that a Soviet informant visited Iran and attempted to sell chemical weapons. However, only the first part of this intelligence was true. , but the following ones were deliberately added by the KGB intelligence department in order to divert the attention of the CIA.

What's more, this piece of information is a major secret that the CIA has worked so hard to get back. For the KGB, which is best at deception, the more something interests the CIA, the more they make it louder, fearing that American agents will not be able to discover it. The same secrets. In the end, what they obtained after all the hard work was false information specially designed by the KGB. Besides, how could they let the CIA easily know something of real value?

After obtaining this information and confirming it, CIA Director Woolsey excitedly called U.S. President Mario almost immediately to report this major discovery to him.

"Are you saying that Iran is currently conducting a secret trade in chemical weapons with the Soviet Union?" President Mario suddenly stood up from the table. He walked around the phone excitedly, further confirming the news to Woolsey, " Are you telling the truth? Director Woolsey, this news has been confirmed, right? Now we finally have the opportunity to infiltrate and intervene in the Iranian regime."

The United States has long wanted to impose sanctions on Iran but could not find a real excuse. Although the issue of Iran's nuclear weapons has been clamored for many years, there has been no absolute evidence to convince Congress. The chemical weapons deal clearly provides an excellent excuse for interfering in Iran's internal affairs.

"Yes, we finally have the opportunity to openly accuse and attack the Iran issue." Woolsey said excitedly. Unexpectedly, he had already completed two things that the previous CIA director failed to do not long after he took office. It found an excuse for the United States to sanction Iran, and secondly, it also attracted another socialist ally.

"We will not send this information out tonight to let Iran know our methods. Director Woolsey, you are responsible for continuing to dig up intelligence on Iran. We must know the more detailed information the better." After President Mario hung up the phone I just kept thinking about another thing. For the Iran issue, CIA intervention was used. Or directly send troops to the Middle East?

At this time, the U.S. economy had not improved because of Mario's coming to power. Instead, it was in a terrible mess. He did not focus on how to save the economy, but wanted to imitate President Bush and use a Gulf War to divert attention while controlling the oil lifeline with his invisible hand. However, there are always a few impeccable countries in the Middle East who want to go against the United States. This is something that Mario and the consortium behind him cannot tolerate.

So that day, the White House press secretary announced that they had evidence of Iran’s weapons of mass destruction transactions. The United States will further deepen economic sanctions and military pressure on Iran. He also said that if Iran does not hand over weapons of mass destruction, the United States will not rule out taking further deterrent actions.

The remarks made by the White House spokesperson are already inconsistent with the original intelligence. It is not that Iran is conducting chemical weapons transactions, but that Iran already possesses chemical weapons. What's more, the U.S. government has never thought about truly understanding Iran's chemical weapons issue. They just need to use this as a breakthrough to sanction Iran.

President Rafsanjani worked hard to change the relationship between Iran and the Western world, but was strangled in the cradle by the joint efforts of the Soviet Union and internal anti-American forces. Khamenei is not worried about U.S. economic sanctions at all. He just wants to use an external crisis to overthrow the conservative and moderate forces in power in Iran at this time. After all, Iran and the United States had severed diplomatic relations after the Korean Revolution. They did not care about the attitude of the U.S. government, nor did they care about the threat from Americans.

The Soviet Union hoped to cultivate a strong anti-American force within Iran so as to open a new gap for its interests in the Middle East. After all, Yanayev doesn't care at all whether those people support communism, and Moscow is also powerless in the distant Middle East. What the Soviet Union wanted to do was to disrupt the United States' offensive and layout in the Middle East. Anyway, I didn't have a good life in Afghanistan that year, and you can't even expect to have a good life in the Middle East.

But as a potential ally. The Soviet Union still expressed its views appropriately. At a press conference, when Yanayev was asked what he thought of the U.S. sanctions on Iran, Yanayev said, "The U.S. government likes to talk nonsense, not just for a day or two." Maybe they dare to take out a test tube filled with unknown white powder and claim to everyone that this is evidence that Iran possesses weapons of mass destruction. Maybe it just contains washing powder.”

"We warmly welcome other countries to engage in economic and trade with the Soviet Union. It is not just the United States or Europe that are your trading partners in the world. There are many other countries. There is no need to follow their rules. When the economy is too dependent on the United States, When you dominate developed countries, you are putting your future in the hands of others.”

Of course, Yanayev's ridicule is innocuous to the United States, but for the Iranian government, which is gasping for economic sanctions and is facing sanctions, it means a good signal to provide help in times of need.

At this time, Rafsanjani was extremely anxious. Since the United States further strengthened economic sanctions on Iran, their lives have become increasingly difficult, because countries like Iran that are highly dependent on natural gas and oil exports may be facing economic collapse once their export channels are cut off. Social unrest. After all, the United States has used this trick repeatedly in the past.

At the same time, Rafsanjani felt that peace negotiations with the United States were impossible. Just when he was most anxious, Khamenei appeared in front of him at the right time.

"The time has come. Do you still want to adopt the policy of peaceful coexistence with the United States?" Khamenei's words pierced Rafsanjani's heart. "People regard us as a threat to the free world and a religious cancer. Are you going to continue to please these people? Forget it, Rafsanjani, even if you don’t admit it, your policy has failed.”

"The United States only needs a regime that is secular and close to the West. In their eyes, our systems are evil heresies." Khamenei smiled, shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, in the eyes of Allah, These are the deplorable heretics.”

"That's enough, Khamenei. If you do this, you will bring Iran into an abyss of no return. God will never allow you to do this." In the eyes of Rafsanjani, Khamenei at this time is like a monster, A monster who wants to start a war. And he also has reason to believe that Khamenei leaked the secret meeting between him and the Soviet Union.

"Haven't you seen clearly what happened to Saddam Hussein in the 1991 Gulf War? There is no way we can be an opponent of the Americans. They are too powerful. It only took them a few weeks to defeat us. Eight years of opponents were defeated. "The Gulf War had a huge impact on Rafsanjani, so he hopes to maintain a friendly relationship with the United States to prevent Iran from becoming the next Iraq.

"So what?" Khamenei said, "When it comes to the frontal battlefield, we are indeed no match for the Americans, but in the guerrilla war, didn't the Americans also lose to Vietnam? Nothing is absolute. If the Americans We will not be afraid if we really want to mess up. God is with Iran.”

Rafsanjani gradually heard other meanings from Khamenei's mouth, but the other party did not stop talking.

"So what we need to do now is to strengthen our armaments. Since they falsely accuse us of having weapons of mass destruction, we don't mind actually having weapons of mass destruction."

"What's more important is that we also need to find new political partners. It's hard for Iran to compete with the United States alone, right?" Although Khamenei was a little vague, the person he was alluding to could be known after a little thought. Who is it?

"Sure enough, you..." Rafsanjani's lips turned white, and even his last words were interrupted by Khamenei.

"The Soviet Union will become a loyal ally of the communist world." Khamenei said calmly. (To be continued.)
