U.S. Army blows-up British made Iranian Chieftain in Iraq!

Video April 24, 2022 Hutchins AAron

U.S. Army photo by Private First Class Nikko-Angelo Matos, 28MAR2011.

In March 2011, the U.S. Army 25th Infantry Division’s B-Company 52nd Infantry Regiment used a NATO United Kingdom made FV4201 Chieftain tank as a TOW target, TOW as in Tube-launched, Optically-tracked, Wire-guided missile.

It happened on Kirkush Military Training Base, in Diyala Province, Iraq.

The Chieftain tank was made by NATO United Kingdom (U.K.), and purchased by Iran in the 1970s. The Iranian army liked the Chieftain better than their U.S. made M60A1s, and paid in advance for hundreds more, but before that order was filled The 1979 Revolution happened and all sales of NATO made weapons to Iran were eventually banned by the United States/NATO, in fact, Iran paid in advance for at least 6-hundred Chieftains which The U.K. never delivered. Not only did Iran want more Chieftains, they also paid for the development of an upgraded Chieftain called the Lion Project. In 2020, it was revealed that the British Royal Army used the money Iran spent on the never delivered 6-hundred tanks, as well as the money for the Lion Project, to develop their Challenger tank.

During the Iran-Iraq War 1980-88 (known in The Middle East as The First Gulf War), massive tank battles were fought, with both sides gaining and losing ground. Many ground vehicles were captured by Iran and Iraq, and put into use against their former owners. The Iraqi army claims to have captured as many as 75 intact Iranian Chieftains during the Iran-Iraq War.

Photo via Mehr News Agency.

By 2013, Iran had gone ahead with their own attempt at the old Lion Project, and radically modified/enlarged the hull of their Chieftains, allowing them to use a larger engine and transmission, and stronger suspension. They call it The Mobarez.

In 2015, it was revealed that so-called pro-Iranian militias in Iraq were using Iraqi upgraded Chieftains, called The Khalid. The upgrades included air conditioning as well as night vision.

U.S. Army video report, by Specialist Jesse Youngstrom, explaining why the 25th Infantry Division blew up the Chieftain:

The Chieftain was also used by Kuwait, and is still in use in Jordan, Oman, as well as Iran.

Biden’s War: USN creates new police op to protect NATO’s Oil supply!

The United States continues acting as the World’s oil police force, at taxpayer expense of course. On 17APR2022, the U.S. Naval Forces Central Command/U.S. 5th Fleet (based in The Middle East) established a new international naval task force to “enhance” oil shipping lane security in the Red Sea area.

The Red Sea is the route taken by most petroleum tanker ships heading to NATO Europe. Remember, U.S. President Joseph R. Biden Junior promised NATO European countries that the U.S. would guarantee oil/natural gas shipments from The Middle East, to replace shipments from now sanctioned Russia!

Since 2001, the U.S. led naval oil protection force is known as Combined Maritime Forces (CMF), and claims to have onboard 34 countries. The new Red Sea oil protection police operation is called Combined Task Force (CTF) 153, it is the fourth such ‘Force’ to be created by the CMF (CTF 150, 151 & 152): “This is a tangible and meaningful demonstration of our commitment to ensuring regional maritime security and stability through international cooperation.”-Vice Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of U.S. Naval Forces Central Command, U.S. 5th Fleet and CMF

But don’t think it is a massive fleet of ships, CTF 153 consists of one boat, the amphibious command ship USS Mount Whitney (LCC 20). It should be noted that the USS Mount Whitney has served with NATO, and is also a NATO command ship for Naval Striking and Support Forces.

There are now claims that Iran is attacking Kurdish areas of Iraq, apparently because Iraqi Kurds have made a Natural Gas deal with Israel!

On 23FEB2022, U.S. taxpayer funded, Israeli designed, 120mm mortar illumination rounds were given to Peshmerga. The U.S. Army switched to the Israeli designed rounds in the 1990s. They were tested on U.S. Army bases in Arizona and Utah. Illumination rounds typically contain minerals like phosphorus, which burn when exposed to air. All militaries around the world use such illumination rounds, as long as they are not intentionally used as ‘weapons’ they can avoid the international ban on phosphorus weapons.

Destroy U.S. Dollar: Russia demands Ruble for everything! NATO Germany & NATO Bulgaria continue buying Russian gas, using Euros!

“You have to pay for your decisions. In your effort to isolate us through the politics of sanctions, you isolated yourselves.”-Vyacheslav Volodin, Chairman of the Gosudárstvennaya dúma (State Duma, aka Lower House of the Federal Assembly of Russia)

Despite a few ‘Western countries’ following the lead of the U.S. and halting purchase of Russian Natural Gas, NATO Germany is among many European Union/NATO countries that continue to buy Russian Gas, and they are using Euros.

It was reported that Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin ordered that Russian Gas purchases by so-called unfriendly nations had to be done in Rubles, but today the NATO German government announced it has been told by Putin himself that Russia will continue to accept their Euros for Gas. Apparently, Russia is creating a new currency conversion system which will easily/quickly turn Euros or Dollars into Rubles.

On 29MAR2022, Russia resumed shipments of LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) to NATO Bulgaria.

It was also reported in Russian news media that the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office and Presidential Press Secretary (aka Kremlin spokesperson) Dmitry Sergeyevich Peskov said Russia was about to require that all foreign purchases of Russian natural resources, and refined resources, (basically anything that comes out of Russia) had to be made in Rubles. This requirement reportedly will begin on 31MAR2022.

It’s beginning to look like the Ukraine Crisis is actually about destroying U.S. dominance of the global economy.

What many people in the United States don’t know is that under President Barack Obama, Iraq was allowed to get weapons from countries considered ‘not friendly’ to the United States, like Iran and Russia. In fact, Iranian Sukhoi 25 aircraft operated inside Iraq, from Iraqi air bases, to help Iraq fight the so-called Islamic State. When Iran left they ‘gifted'(?) the Su-25s to Iraq. These were in addition to the Russian Su-25s acquired by Iraq. They are Su-25KM single seaters and Su-25UBKM two seaters.
