Husnu Mahalli: The Great Middle East Project’s hidden agenda

WISE NEWS PRESS / ANKARA, TÜRKİYE 

Journalist Husnu Mahalli has presented a comprehensive perspective on the historical turning point in the Middle East, stating that protests in Iran are not merely an economic crisis but an ongoing phase of the Great Middle East Project (GMEP). Mahalli argued that the crisis—deepened by the rise of the Dollar to 1.4 million Riyals—is part of a plan to transform the regime, emphasizing that the project's ultimate goal is to establish absolute Israeli hegemony in the region.

A Historical Turning Point in Iranian Politics: 51% Risk

Recalling the numerous social events in Iran since the 1979 revolution, Husnu Mahalli stated that the current situation is at a far more critical juncture. According to Mahalli, the Iranian people have begun to loudly question why they live in poverty despite possessing some of the world's richest oil and natural gas reserves.

The striking details highlighted in the analysis include:

  • Power Instability: Viewing the possibility of the current government being overthrown or fundamentally changing direction at 51%, Mahalli noted that this process is triggered by external pressures.

  • Conflict Between Government and Clergy: There is deep tension between Masoud Pezeshkian’s government and Supreme Leader Khamenei along with conservative circles. It is suggested that Pezeshkian’s team is engaging in a form of "cooperation with citizens" against the religious structure and maintaining a flexible stance toward protests.

  • The "What about us?" Sentiment: A rising reaction among the Iranian public asks, "Why are we defending the causes of Palestine, Syria, or Lebanon?" while demanding a foreign policy focused on their own welfare.

Social Media Engineering and Global Hegemony

Mahalli drew attention to the fact that social transformations are now being shaped by "social engineering" methods. Stating that social media platforms are used as weapons by Zionist organizations, Mahalli detailed the following claims:

  • Data Sharing: It was stated that major platforms share user data with intelligence services and manage perception operations through this data.

  • AI Restrictions: Mahalli argued that systems like ChatGPT remove data unfavorable to Israel or avoid commenting on these specific issues.

  • Monroe Doctrine Effect: It was noted that strategies set by the US in 1823 are still updated and applied today, making interventionist policy a constitutional principle.

Hegemony War in the Red Sea: The Yemen and Somalia Equation

Stating that Israel's aggressive policies will not be limited to Gaza and that strategic moves have shifted to the Red Sea, Mahalli explained the connection between Somaliland and Yemen. Israel's recognition of Somaliland is described as an effort to place a military and logistical barrier in front of the Houthis. Additionally, the role of the United Arab Emirates in the region was emphasized as a critical and dangerous point for the project's success.

Türkiye’s NATO Dilemma and Regional Role

Husnu Mahalli evaluated Türkiye's position in this complex equation as follows:

  • NATO Membership: It was stated that as a NATO member, Türkiye does not have the luxury of effectively opposing US policies regarding Iran or the region.

  • Sunni-Shia Balance: Claiming that Türkiye's historical state philosophy is based on an anti-Shia foundation, Mahalli argued that Ankara might see a change in "religious power" in Iran as aligned with its own interests.

  • Economic Expectations: Expectations were expressed that a regime change or liberalization in Iran would create a massive market and investment opportunity for the Turkish business world.

Concluding his analysis, Husnu Mahalli stated that while the peoples of the region are caught between the struggle for a "dignified life" and imperialist plans, resistance—as seen in the examples of Gaza and Vietnam—will always remain an option.
