I know about Iran due to the fact that I met Chess

jacekh.substack.com 1 week ago

My meetings were surely very crucial historical events, but unfortunately I cannot describe them as well as Ryszard Kapuściński or another caresses of the Wyborcza Newspaper.

It happened 1 September morning in 1966, erstwhile the close simple School 171, located at 31 Emilia Plater Street, was brought to the square in front of the main building of the University of Technology.

Now most likely individual would have written that we were "spent there by the communist authorities", but don't perceive to stupid propaganda. Neither will I take the chance to show my martyrdom and to apply for Kombatant benefits for the persecution suffered. No 1 forced us and we walked willingly and cheerfully. We didn't know the intent or the reason, but I don't think it bothered anyone. To replace the lesson with anything else was adequate justification.

In those days, the square was called Work Unity in memory of the December 1948 event, erstwhile 2 parties, PPR and PPS Left came together there to form PZPR. Now the square is the Place of the method University, the fresh power carefully covers the traces of the past, however, 1 can inactive see the impact of past events. The method University building close the main entrance is surrounded by elaborate designs of flood shafts. No wonder, after all the parties that are there uncommon, had a full of about 1.5 million members. The flood threat was real, and to this day it is threatening.

We were placed along the Savior's Square of Nowowiejska Street. In those days there was no asphalt there, and the road surface was arranged with something akin to the stones of the field, and there were tram rails. We stayed polite until we got impatient. 1 of his playmates poked the other, the 3rd caught someone, another punched him in the burner. There was a friend in the class named Glinka, which, of course, led to various shorthands.

At 1 point, 1 of us was heavy impaled by the grievances of Waldek Glinka’s colleague, who was loudly hit with a longer text that I can’t remember. The general expression was, "Get out of here, you stupid cop, or if I kick you, you won't get over yourself." We did not announcement that we were standing along a street that was to be passed by by an crucial person. There were uniformed MO officers in front of us along the curb all 10 metres. 1 of them right in front of us.

When the bad words came down, any of us woke up and felt there was no hello. We froze while waiting for the thunder. Meanwhile, nothing happened, only a police officer, without moving his feet or anything else, as the self-propelled chess figure slow moved along the curb a fewer meters away. He did it in specified a way as far east phantoms or dancers of Russia's folk bands that flow around the phase without moving their legs. but he didn't have a skirt, so his skills were way bigger. MO UFO.

The officer's behaviour clearly indicates that average people worked at the MO, not crazy beasts. He could have made a scandal after which we would have been punished, but as a reasoning man he felt that ignoring minors was the most appropriate.

Finally, we were able to get to the place of the Savior and a cavalcade of rich Western limousines arrived. She did not impress us, as not far from our school on the corner of Novgorodska and Poznań there was an elegant restaurant called Dzik, which was utilized extensively by diplomatic representations located in the Polonia Hotel. Thanks to specified a neighborhood, this part of Novogrodzka was covered with amazing limousines all day. We've looked into it.

I saw the king of Iran Mohammad Reza Pahlavi due to the fact that the first limousine had partially transparent windows, another carrying his entourage, many ladies of the manor and the wife of the time had all the windows modestly tinted. The king did not give me his hand in haste for matters of state weight, but he smiled kindly, waved and blinked communicationally, clearly recognized me. Then we stayed at our home many times. He's at his place and I'm at his place.

For the sake of historical truth, it is worth mentioning that the top enthusiasm was caused by Siren's throbbing car, which appeared a small later shortly after the service opened the way. There was no end to cheers.

My next gathering with Iran took place 15 years later, erstwhile in autumn 1981 I went on a short stint to the West Germany. Mohammad Reza Pahlavi no longer reigned in Iran, for in 1979 there was an muslim revolution in that country, and he died in exile shortly afterwards. It is good to know that the milieu of liberal opposition, for which the king was besides small European and besides conservative, contributed to the overthrow of the monarch and the triumph of orthodox Islam. They defeated the king, but alternatively of the expected freedom they have Sharia. Let us remember that the same can happen in Europe.

In addition, the king wanted to preserve Iran's independency from planet powers. presently the CIA-pedia accuses him of flirting with the russian Union and China, but it is besides possible to rise allegations about contacts with the US. The pursuit of Iran's independency was incapable to endure any planet power, so they all challenged the king's power until it succeeded.

Another paradox is the Iranian atomic program. For almost half a century, propaganda has threatened the full planet with it, but nobody wants to remember that it was created solely by the US initiative and method assistance. After the muslim Revolution, the atomic program became a problem for the mediate East and possibly the full world. In any case, it exists and is the constant origin of Israel and the US attacks.

In order to make an independent view, many sources another than the authoritative ones should besides be used. I urge an independent portal Swiss Policy Researchand on it a survey entitled Secret of the 1979 Iranian Revolution. Available at: https://swprs.org/the-secret-of-the-1979-irarian-revolution/ .

After entering the page you can set the Polish language. For encouragement, I present an first passage.

Why the United States backed the 1979 Iranian Revolution.

The 1979 muslim Revolution in Iran is frequently portrayed as anti-American and anti-Western. In fact, the 1979 revolution was supported and facilitated by the United States – which neither supporters nor opponents of the present muslim Republic of Iran like to talk about.

Although this information has been denied for decades, it is now widely known that in 1953 the United States and the United Kingdom Overturned the first democratically elected Prime Minister of Iran, Mohammad Mosaddegh, and re-established monarch (shachet) or dictatorial politician of Mohammad Reza Pahlawi.

This early government change, named Operation Ajax , was motivated by Anglo-American oil interests (Mosaddagh planned to nationalize the Iranian oil industry), as well as fears from the Cold War period against the increasing influence of communists on politics in Iran (as in any Western European countries).

25 years later, in January 1979, the folk uprising forced Pahlawa – weakened cancer and a devoid adult successor – to flee the country. The United States again faced the hazard of communists taking over power, as was the case only a year earlier in neighbouring Afghanistan during Revolution of the Saurs – what the U.S. responded to, bringing together muslim militants, later known as ‘Al-Qaeda’ .

In autumn 1981, I went to Germany as part of a student exchange, although I had not been a student for 3 years. I met a group of Iranian students there who, after fresh changes in their country, were incapable to return. They worked in the discipline breaks to support themselves. Over the last summer, they've been renovating high-voltage lines due to the fact that it's been a tough but well-paid job.

In their brigade there was a Pole who frequently commented extensively on working conditions and foreman decisions. The Persians did not know Polish, so they did not realize the meaning of the speech of a Polish colleague, but they remembered his words precisely and could repeat them precisely, and then they asked me about their meaning. I tried my brain and mixed English with German and sign language, explained how I could. The consequence was a sharp increase in the sympathy of the group of Iranians to Poland and Poles.

We've been together always since. They from a country engulfed in a bloody muslim revolution to which they could not return, and I from a country where the martial law of unknown consequences was 1 step away. In addition, the Iranians tried to trick me. It seems to me that their respect grew a small bit erstwhile I said that I knew this popular trick in Polish bazaars and I will not effort due to the fact that I know well that I have no chance with the masters. I'd alternatively just ask them out for a beer.

The muslim Revolution and the Ayatollah Khomeini have introduced a panic that we cannot imagine. all day there were executions in which hundreds of citizens were publically beheaded accused of Western sympathy. It was apparent that my colleagues could not return to their homeland. Their comments in the broken language we spoke were short and simple: Arab Scheise. This message is most likely contrary to the current political correctness, but it is highly true, so we should repeat this deep fact on all occasion. Arab Scheise.

A country with a past and culture of 2,000 years or more is overrun by spiritual fanatics who destruct it in the name of ideology. Think of Europe. This ideology does not should be the Prophet and his teachings, although it is rather real in Europe as a consequence of EU policy. It may be climateism, designation of the natural component of the atmosphere as a deadly threat or genderism, or whatever else indicated by the self-proclaimed elites.

It is time to wake up and rush the company, send Euro MPs and Euro bureaucrats to the country or to the waste sorting facility for simple socially useful work for adequate remuneration to their qualifications.

And besides comments on current events. As usual, the media in Poland are trying to represent president Trump as a drunk kid in the fog who does not know what and for what intent he is doing. He just woke up 1 day in a bad temper and assaulted Iran for no reason.

Instead of observing and analyzing facts, wise men are active in making guesses or baseless opinions. It does so to Trump TVP, but it besides serves American TVN Democrats (they may shortly change that). Just as Putin was portrayed as an immature lunatic driven by thoughtless impulses, so now they are portraying Trump. This is not about whether their wars are bad or good. The problem is the media's failure to see the interests of the powers and the reasons behind their actions.

It turns out that in order to read a factual analysis of the situation, we request to scope for distant sources specified as Al Jazeera's agency. The author of the article is simply a longtime intelligence analyst, so he knows what he is writing about. I am simply presenting parts of his article, but I encourage you to read the full article. Web browsers like Google Chrome offer website translation function. but that this requires caution, since translation is frequently imperfect and sometimes has a different meaning.

The US and Israel strategy against Iran is working. That's why.

Every aspect of Iran's ability to show its strength in the region has been effectively weakened.

Two weeks after the launch of Operation Epic Fury the media dominant communicative stabilized: the United States and Israel entered a war without a plan. Iran responds to retaliation throughout the region. Oil prices are rising and the planet is facing another swamp in the mediate East. U.S. Senators called it a mistake. Cable tv has counted the crises. Commentators inform against a long war.

Refren is loud and understandable in any ways. The war is terrible, and it has cost millions of people in the mediate East, including the city I live in.

Looking at what actually happened to Iran's main instruments of power – an arsenal of ballistic missiles, atomic infrastructure, air defense, navy and replacement command architecture – the image does not depict US failure. This is simply a image of the systematic gradual degradation of the threat that erstwhile governments have allowed for 4 decades.

[...]

Arsenal built for decades, dismantled in a fewer days

According to publically available data, the Iranian rocket launch rate dropped by over 90 percent, from 350 February 28 to about 25 March 14. The situation is akin with drone launch: from more than 800 first day to about 75th day. [...]

The atomic threshold that the erstwhile US presidents accepted

Most criticisms of the American-Israeli run focus on its costs while treating status quo ante It's like it's free. He wasn't.

Iran entered 2026 with 440 kg uranium enriched to 60% purity – which, after further enrichment, would have been adequate for up to 10 atomic weapons. By estimates of American intelligence Before the June attacks, Tehran lacked little than 2 weeks until specified enrichment of uranium as to enable the production of 1 atomic bomb. During this time, the global Atomic Energy Agency acknowledged that Iran's collection of near-nuclear-grade material had no clear civilian justification. [...]

However, the alternate to critics, or continued restraint, while Iran was approaching atomic weapons, is simply a policy that first led to the crisis. Each year of strategical patience he added further centrifuges to enrichment halls and kilos to supplies. [...]

Ormuz Strait: Iran's wasted asset

The closure of the Ormuz Strait dominates in critical comments. U.S. Senator Chris Murphy called it evidence that president Donald Trump misjudged Iran's ability to retaliate. CNN described this as evidence that the administration lost control of the escalation of war. [...]

But a shot like this turns strategical logic around. The closure of the Strait has always been Iran's most visible retaliatory card and always waste. About 90 percent of Iranian oil exports pass through Charg Island and then through the Strait.

China, Tehran's largest remaining economical partner, cannot receive Iranian oil as long as the strait is closed. With each day of blockade Iran cuts off its own economy and alienates the only power that consistently protected it in the UN. The closure of the Strait not only harms the global economy, but besides deepens Iran's isolation. [...]

A proxy network that is fragmented, not expanding

Regional escalation – Hezbollah resumes attacks on Israel , Iraqi militias attacking US bases, Huti threatening the Red Sea – is considered to be the most visible evidence of the strategical defeat of the US and Israel. Critics say the war is spreading, as is Iraq. This misinterprets the dynamics of the Iranian alliance network.

My investigation on how you authorize replacement force identifies 4 levels of control: strategical legitimacy, operational coordination, financial-logistic distribution and calibration of denials. The current run disrupted all 4 at once. [...]

Bright Final

The strongest political allegation is the deficiency of the eventual goal of administration. Trump's rhetoric alone has not helped: the fluctuations between "unconditional surrender" and the suggestions of negotiations, between government change and denial of government change, increase the impression of strategical inconsistencies. Only 33% of American respondents in the fresh Reuters-Ipsos poll stated that the president had clearly explained the mission's purpose.

But the end goal is visible in the operational phase, even if the rhetoric obscures it. The nonsubjective is to permanently weaken Iran's ability to task forces beyond its borders through rocket missiles, atomic threat and proxy networks. [means Huti, Hesbollah and another outside groups]I'm sorry.

Let's call it strategical disarmament. [...]

However, the deficiency of a public diplomatic plan does not mean a military run failure. This means that the run is ahead of diplomatic action, which is simply a sequential problem, not a strategical one. Military conditions for a lasting solution to the conflict – Iran's rocket possible is besides degraded to be rapidly rebuilt, atomic infrastructure is inaccessible and proxy networks are fragmented – they are now being created.

War is ugly, but a war strategy works

[...]

Critics, however, make another mistake: they treat operating costs as if idleness costs were zero. They weren't. Measured by a slow emergence in the threat that, if it had not been contained, would have led to a crisis that everyone, as they claimed, feared: Iran with atomic weapons capable of closing the Strait of Ormuz at any time; Iran surrounded by alternate forces that could keep the full region in captivity for an indefinite period.

[...]

Recently, it has become fashionable to accuse Trump that he did not “foresee” the retaliatory closure of the Ormuz Strait and to complain about the problems caused by this closure. The charge is openly ridiculous, due to the fact that this closing as an Iranian weapon has been constantly raised since time immemorial, and Trump himself referred to it many years earlier. He besides mentioned Iran's terminal island Charg as a key component of a possible conflict.

It is good to know that Iran did not close the Ormuz Strait for shipping despite its loud declarations. The Iranian miners tried to do it, but they were sunk. Similarly, rockets and drones are no longer specified a threat. Iranian forces are most likely not able to control the straits adequate these days. The reason for stopping movement is completely different.

Well... Under European regulations, insurance companies refuse reinsurance to tankers. It is not about demanding advanced or even absurd insurance rates, it is about full and unconditional refusal.

The shipping stopped completely, due to the fact that without reinsurance no tanker will sail, especially since then no port will be allowed to service it. And the main reason for this is in Europe.

On 16 March, Trump asked European NATO members to address the protection of shipping by the Ormuz Strait. Finally, in terms of oil today, the U.S. is self-sufficient and oil flows mainly to Europe through the strait.

However, Europe drinking the best liquor with the mouths of its representatives with the same mouth responded to Trump that, to spite, Uncle Sam would frost his ears off. Unfortunately, Europe's representatives have decided to unfreeze our ears.

Without the U.S., NATO is simply a PRIOR WEEK! They refused to join the fight to halt Iran with atomic propulsion. Now that this fight has been militarized, with minimal hazard to them, they complain about the advanced oil prices they are forced to pay, but they do not want to aid open the Strait of Ormuz, making a simple military maneuver, removing the only origin of advanced oil prices. It's so easy for them, with so small risk. Mr Cochór, remember! president Donald J. TUMP

And yet another subject to consider to what degree this is our war. The past of aggression against Iraq, Afghanistan or Libya rightly leads to restraint. Then all NATO took part in the war, due to the fact that there were another presidents in the United States. No 1 opposed American aggression. Now the president is Donald Trump. For the left-wing rulers of Europe, the orange man is be, so regardless of his own interests, Europe refuses, while crying at the same time due to the withdrawal of the US umbrella over Europe.

However, Iran is not a country like Iraq or Libya.

Firstly, the Revolutionary Guards Council there is not guided by a reasonable or political account, as evidenced by the current mad attacks on targets in various countries of the region rather militaryly or politically unwarranted. For example, attacks on Qatar, which has been an ally and spokesperson for Iran so far, have frequently served as a place of negotiation. Of course, the disruption of gas supply in Qatar has become a origin of trouble, but mainly for non-participation in the attack on Iran of European countries. But for fanatics, infidels are infidels. Everyone must be destroyed.

Secondly, Iran does have powerful weapons. The latest evidence is simply a fresh attack of 2 ballistic missiles kind Chorramshahr Diego Garcia Island in the Indian Ocean. This thwarted attack proved that Iran had ballistic missiles at least 4500 km, and surely more than 5,000 km, meaning that practically the full of Europe was within their reach. So, is this the war of Europe? You can see it on the map at the beginning of this post.

How does that relate to the Iranian declaration that they voluntarily limit their rocket scope to 2,000 km? most likely the same is worth the Revolutionary Guards' declarations that uranium was enriched only for peaceful purposes. Why is it costly atomic energy for a country with immeasurable oil deposits?

They could build intercontinental missiles, and they wouldn't be able to build bombs with enriched uranium and adequate time? Let's think about this before we start repeating the slogans of journalists and politicians.

The rocket body, 1.5 metres in diameter, is perfect for carrying atomic warheads.
