BBC Headline: ‘Huge Beirut Strike Leaves West Powerless as Israel Chases Victory’

The “breakaway ally” situation described in the past by Lyndon LaRouche is now in full flight. After Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu ranted to the United Nations General Assembly, “There is no place in Iran that the long arm of Israel cannot reach”; and then killed the leader of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrullah, along with hundreds of civilians in apartment blocks above him, Reuters reported that Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had been “moved to a secret and secure location in the country. The sources said Iran was in constant contact with Lebanon’s Hezbollah and other regional proxy groups, to determine the next step after Israel announced that it had killed Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah in a strike on south Beirut on Friday,” Sept. 27, went the Reuters report. It is highly likely that it will be Israel’s Netanyahu regime which takes “the next step” toward forcing Iran into a war which the United States must join, and which can go regional, worldwide, and nuclear.

The article headlined above was by BBC Mideast correspondent Jeremy Bowen, following BBC interviews last night with several American Middle East experts who said Israel is not listening to anything Biden or Blinken says, and that Israel has had and still has “escalation dominance” toward Lebanon and Hezbollah since last October. The article quotes Blinken pathetically that “there is still room for negotiation.” Will he go next to Iran?

The news broadcast emphasized that the Israeli claim that Hezbollah headquarters “used apartment blocks as a civilian shield” is an absurdity, that “under the laws of war you don’t get to do that,” i.e., kill many civilians in order to get to a political figure, as one expert put it.
