The day before, one of my congregation friends sent a message to me via WhatsApp and when I read it, I felt anybody who has compiled this item has both been aware of the current U.S. internal condition and has actually compared the behavior of Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi during the Green Movement in the 2009 presidential unrests in Iran with U.S. President Donald Trump’s behavior today.

Let’s listen carefully to the comments and what have been uttered in the past two weeks. Mr. Trump during a press conference at the White House, and when he was asked whether he would peacefully transfer the power in case he lost the election, said: “There will be no transition but you will see me continuing as the President.”

In another interview Trump repeated his remarks and said: “We will win. We will not lose unless the election is rigged. This is my view. We cannot let the election be rigged. Our country is in danger because these people will destroy our country and we cannot let it happen.”

And this is another comment by him, “While we know that thousands of our votes which make our future are rigged, we will not act stupidly and tell them, ‘Oh, please come, we transfer power to you.”

Famous American political analyst Thomas Friedman, after circulation of these comments of Mr. Trump in the newspapers by referring to the dangers and concerns created by Trump’s remarks which is repeated after any pretext, expressed his concerns and emphasized that the U.S. in the upcoming presidential election and in the last months of 2020 could be headed to a full-scale civil war.

In this regard and in order to assure the American society, senior officials in the Pentagon have said that they are concerned about the post-presidential election, and in case unrests erupt, President Trump will order the U.S. Army to go to streets for suppressing people.

But Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Alexander Milley in reaction to the extreme concerns of the Congress and American people about Trump’s decision and probable civil war wrote a letter to the Congress and stipulated in his letter that the U.S. Army was determined not to have any intervention and role in the 2020 presidential election dispute.

Meaning of Trump’s comments which have been once and again repeated by him and is repeated every day is that if he does not win the election, vote rigging has definitely happened and he would take the U.S. Army to confront with it in support of his reinstatement at the White House and will trigger a civil war.

My friend who has prepared this article has written and asked “Is not Trump’s comments and the road that he is taking, familiar to you? It is exactly the same road that leaders and owners of Israeli-American-British sedition went and followed in 2009.

The seditionists’ candidate in the 2009 presidential election in Iran before the vote counting began had announced his victory in the election. And even before the election  day, those people had announced that if Mir Hossein Mousavi did not win, people would pour into streets.  And ….on June 10, 2009, exactly two days before the elections, managing director of Persian daily Keyhan Mr. Hossein Shariatmadari by writing an article which was the headline of Keyhan’s front page had warned about this scenario by using this headline: “Take this warning seriously. The last curtain of the scenario of the extremists is riot after the defeat in election.” What a similarity!

It is noteworthy to say that seditionists in 2009 did not fall short of carrying out the directives and orders which had been dictated to them but they had not ,  either,  known Islam, Iran and the people well …. And it is very very interesting that the U.S. and its allies are on the edge of the same well that they themselves had drilled for Islamic Iran by bringing all of their powers into the scene in order to topple Islam and republic establishment in Iran.

Now the Green Sedition has returned to its birthplace and the center which had ordered the fire, namely, the White House in Washington, and it is going ahead in a way that the fire of sedition which had been prepared for the Islamic Iran and been failed, is going to grip its real and master planners ….

And what a wise and hope creating is the words of Almighty God in Chapter Al Imran of the Holy Quran as He says, “And (the unbelievers) plotted and planned, and Allah too planned, and the best of planners is Allah.” And this is the punishment for an act that tyrants all have to face it definitely. As Allah says, “Every object would return to its origin.”

Nowadays who is in the world who does not believe that U.S. President Donald Trump’s political fate is tied with developments and variants like the Coronavirus, anti-racism protests, economic crises resulted from unemployment, the downtrend statistics on gross domestic product (GDP) and the tension between the U.S. and China?

Despite all these factors, one cannot definitely say Trump’s Democrat rival in the election Joe Biden is the winner of November 3 election  and should wait and see how these variants show themselves in the upcoming days and probably some new variants may emerge in the U.S. political scene which can eclipse the November 3 election.

Former U.S. Defense Secretary General James Mattis, who had avoided criticizing Mr. Trump since his dismissal from his post, has recently in an interview with The Atlantic magazine opened up his criticism and launched an unprecedented attack on Trump and implicitly accused him of trying to divide the U.S. (he means the collapse of the federative system). He implicitly says this concern has spread among layers of the Republicans that consequences of continuing aggressive behavior against the protesters in the riot-hit states as well as disputable management of the Coronavirus and continuation of the current unpleasant economic condition can go beyond a defeat for Trump and they may also lose in the elections for the Congress and even lose the majority in the Senate.

In dealing with protests, Mr. Trump has taken a militaristic approach and has asked armed forces to interfere and put an end to the protests, and in order to deceive the public, he along with his Defense Secretary Mark Esper and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley visited St. John’s Church near the White House and by holding a Bible tried to employ the elements of army’s force and religion’s hypocrisy to serve the politics. Of course, his effort did not work because of disclosures of opposition media and it faced a backlash from the military men and Catholic clerics not only in the U.S. but also in the Christian world.

Trump’s behavior is going to put the U.S. Army in a position to defy his orders regarding the confrontation with the protesters. This issue made even Esper and Milley to stand against Trump against his idea of using the armed forces for ending the protests. Disobedience of Army from the president has cost him very dear and has created a condition that even he may dismiss his current Defense Secretary, Mr. Esper. Along with all negative variants for Trump, this issue will worsen his challenges.

Although his suggestion for postponing the November 3 election due to the pandemic was rejected by his Republican partisans and he has been forced to swallow his words, but it is unlikely that if Trump’s defeat paves the ground for defeats of his Republican partisans in the Congress and Senate elections, they may change their minds and resort to such a policy and pretext that the condition is not good for holding election.

Most strategists in the think-tanks in the world and even in the U.S. believe that today the U.S. lacks a stable condition and this condition may lead to more unexpected crises. Even if the elections are postponed, the condition will not progress in Republicans’ favor because the Speaker of the Congress will take the helm of administering the country, something which is not definitely to the benefit of the Republicans.

The Democrats have completely taken advantage of the bewilderment in the White House and in some states they have strengthened their positions by wooing the voters. Both Speaker of Congress Nancy Pelosi and Trump’s rival Biden in their interviews have pointed to the inefficiency of Trump and his camp’s policies in the White House and they have put Trump in more difficult condition.

After the news about resignation of U.S. Special Representative for Iran Mr. Brian Hook, this assumption has been strengthened in the U.S. media that Trump my blame Hook for failure of his policies regarding Iran, and his concern about Iran’s strategic deal with China, resulted by his hardline policies, may push him to stop his hardline measures against Iran and soften his behavior.

The New York Times wrote, “The departure of Mr. Hook, 52, appears to bury any remaining chance of a diplomatic initiative with Iran before the end of Mr. Trump’s term.” According to this report, Elliot Abrams who is currently the U.S. special representative for Venezuela is to replace Hook.

These changes in the policies of the White House are more an indication to this point that the U.S. will lead to more instability in its policies day by day and this instability can loom uncertainty over the November 3 election.
