… and preventing a war with Iran?
In the early morning of April 14, President Trump authorized a coalition of US, French and British forces to attack Syria. The attack involved 103 cruise missiles launched at Syrian facilities previously associated with the production of chemical weapons. These facilities were allegedly involved in a chemical weapons attack on April 8 in Douma, a suburb of Damascus.
After a limited missile strike, Trump said the attacks were successful and declared "mission accomplished."
A perfectly executed strike last night. Thank you to France and the United Kingdom for their wisdom and the power of their fine Military. Could not have had a better result. Mission Accomplished! - Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 14, 2018
Just as Trump made it clear to the world via Twitter that he was about to launch an attack on Syria, he has now clearly conveyed via Twitter that the attack was completed with the objectives of the mission achieved.
Many alternative media analysts admit that the April 8 chemical weapons attack was not orchestrated by the Syrian government as it did not have any strategic goal to do so, given the recent successes in the battle. For them, the attack was a false flag event orchestrated by Deep State actors looking to drag the US and its main allies deeper into the Syrian civil war as a prelude to a full-scale war with Iran.
So Trump's attack was indeed a prelude to getting the United States deeper into the Syrian and Iranian conflicts with a very transparent false flag, or was Trump's real goal to achieve an entirely different strategic goal to bring about an early end to the Syrian Civil War and prevent a new war with Iran?
Having found the answer, we can first take a look at what QAnon, the US military intelligence group that leaks through classified information, has to say about the missile strike. QAnon used a coded message to predict as early as April 8, the day of the chemical weapons incident in Douma, that two B-1 bombers would be deployed in an upcoming missile attack on Syria, and they launched 19 missiles:

The post suggests that QAnon was aware of preliminary plans for an attack on Syria and the ships that will be used in it. According to another Q Anon report, coinciding with the April 14 missile attack itself, the US Coalition strike was a limited military operation that would involve only missiles, no ground or air overflights of Syrian territory, and that we must trust Trump:
Once again, Q Anon refers to the Red Sparrow missile, which most likely refers to the earlier guided AIM-7 Sparrow used by many of the world's militaries, including Israel and Saudi Arabia. While the AIM-7 Sparrow is an air-to-air missile not used in the attack itself, it was a reference to the Sparrow indicating the intention to use older missiles launched by B-1 bombers and surface ships in the American French and the British coalition that many of these missiles could be shot down in a phased action agreed with the Russians ("Red Sparrow" - see update)?
This appears to be exactly what happened when we consider a statement from the Russian Defense Ministry, which describes the results of American, French and British missile strikes on Syria. The Russians said:
As seen from the available data, 103 cruise missiles were launched, including Tomahawk missiles and GBU-38 guided air bombs fired from B-1Bs; air-to-surface missiles were launched on F-15 and F-16 aircraft.
Eight Scalp EG missiles were launched on British Air Force Tornado aircraft. Syrian air defense systems, which are mainly AD systems created by the USSR, have successfully resisted air and sea strikes.
A total of 71 cruise missiles were intercepted. The S-125, S-200, Buk, Kvadrat and Osa Syrian AD systems were used to repel the attack. This proves the high effectiveness of Syrian weapons and the professional skills of the Syrian military personnel trained by Russian specialists.
Over the past year and a half, Russia has completely restored the Syrian air defense systems and continues to develop.
It should be emphasized that several years ago, given a strong request from our Western partners, Russia refused to supply S-300 AD systems to Syria. Given the recent incident, Russia considers it possible to reconsider this issue not only in relation to Syria, but also to other countries.
The highlight of the Russian announcement was that nearly 70% of the US coalition's missiles were shot down using old Russian air defense technology.
These numbers are publicly disputed by Pentagon sources, who instead highlighted the missiles' success in achieving their targets. Pentagon chief spokeswoman Dana White said:
This operation was carefully planned and methodically planned to minimize potential collateral damage. I can assure you that we took every precaution to only hit what we aimed for and we successfully hit every target.
So what is a more accurate measure of missile success? If we accept QAnon's information suggesting the use of earlier missile technologies, then it is likely that the Russian statement is more accurate.
Russia has said that given the missile strike, it currently plans to move forward with upgrading the Syrian air defense system using their more advanced S-300 technology.
This will significantly increase the defenses of the Syrian air defense system, making it virtually immune to the type of limited air attack that was launched on April 14 using cruise missiles and modern aircraft.
Russia's intention to modernize Syria's missile defenses will ultimately change the strategic balance of power. Having a virtually impenetrable air defense system for limited air strikes would make it impossible for most foreign actors to intervene militarily in the Syrian civil war.
Thus, the real loser of the missile attack could be Israel, which during the Syrian civil war launched more than a hundred air attacks against the Syrian forces and their main allies, Iran and Lebanese Hezbollah. This is because Russia has now been given a suitable rationale for modernizing the Syrian air defense system with their advanced S-300 system.
This will soon make it very difficult for Israel to intervene in the Syrian civil war, as it did with virtual impunity until February 10, when one of its planes was shot down following an attack on the Iranian sector in Syria.
This means Iran and Hezbollah will have more potential to attack the remaining terrorist groups fighting the Syrian regime to end the civil war and allow them to move closer to the Israeli border. This will ultimately put pressure on Israel to reach an agreement with the Assad regime on unresolved issues with Syria.
In addition, the interception and destruction of nearly 70% of the American coalition missiles shows that any state with modern Russian air defense can withstand the type of limited missile attack indicative of a Syrian attack.
This leads me to believe that perhaps the ultimate goal of a missile strike was to show how such a limited missile attack, secretly planned against Iran, is doomed to failure!
Again, it's worth taking a look at what QAnon has to say about the Syrian war, which was a milestone for resolving the Iranian issue as part of the secret plan for the April 14 fast:
Iran is perceived as a serious threat to Israel and Saudi Arabia. Since 2013, there have been fears that they will cooperate in a surprise military campaign against Iran, designed to draw the United States into the conflict, despite the fact that the Geneva Agreement in 2013 reached the limit for Iran's nuclear programs. On November 17, 2013, The Sunday Times reported:
At the same time, they were sworn enemies. Israel's intelligence agency Mossad is now working with Saudi Arabian officials on contingency plans for a possible attack on Iran if its nuclear program is not significantly curtailed … As part of growing cooperation, Riyadh is understood to have already given the go-ahead for an Israeli proposal to use their airspace in the event of an attack on Iran. Both sides are now ready to go much further.
The problem with Israel and Saudi Arabia in surprise attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities is that Iran has a recently upgraded Russian-supplied air defense system that defends its facilities.
In June 2016, Russia finally deployed its S-300 air defense system after a 10-year delay due to US requests. In March 2018, the Iranians successfully tested the system, as reported in a number of media outlets, showing that they went into effect:
Iran has successfully tested Russia's state-of-the-art S-300 air defense system, the official IRNA news agency reported on Saturday. The exercise took place during a recent military exercise under the name Damvand, and was attended by senior military leaders and officials according to Tasnim.
IRNA said the test is for a variety of flying objects, including missiles. With a range of up to 200 kilometers (125 mi), the S-300 is capable of simultaneously tracking and targeting multiple targets, according to AP. Iranian state television broadcast footage of rockets fired from the back of trucks. He said the test was carried out in the central desert of Iran.
Since there are many puzzles about the real motives between Trump's limited missile strike against Syria in response to the widespread false flag incident and his mission complete statement, it is very likely that the immediate goal was not to deepen US military involvement.
The goal was to help end the Syrian civil war by exposing just how sophisticated the Syrian air defense force has become thanks to Russia's help. This will quickly neutralize Israel's superiority in the region and put pressure on it to end its covert support for Syrian armed groups fighting the Assad regime.
However, the real strategic goal was to prevent a surprise military strike on Iran from Israel and Saudi Arabia, showing how effective Russia's advanced air defense systems have become. With Iran currently deploying sophisticated S-300 air defense systems around its nuclear and military facilities, it would be useless for Israel and Saudi Arabia to launch a surprise attack given their limited aircraft and missile technology.
Hence, instead of a Syrian missile strike indicating that Trump is being co-opted by neocons into yet another Middle East war that is part of the Deep State program unveiled by General Wesley Clarke in 2001, the real target appears to be part of the White House / military intelligence targeting on the prompt resolution of the Syrian civil war and the prevention of hostile hostilities against Iran.
