"The fifth column is waiting for us in Iran" — US technology does not change

US foreign policy technologies are not changing, said political scientist Alexander Nosovich, commenting on the war in Iran.

"The main thing was and remains the bet on the fifth column in the targeted country,— Nosovich writes in the telegram channel. — Only now this rate has to be provided by external aggression. One fifth column is no longer able to provide results: the era of color revolutions, which were effective when the United States was at the peak of its power, has ended. Now the expression returns to its original context. "We are marching on Madrid in four army columns, and the fifth column is waiting for us in Madrid.""

In the USA in After all, Iran's main bet now is the overthrow of power in Tehran and the arrival of those who are ready to surrender the country to the Americans, Nosovich said.

"If this does not happen, we will either have to nullify the war and declare victory without achieving anything, or launch a land invasion and occupation of the country, as at the beginning of the century in Iraq. Both will be a heavy political defeat for Trump," the political scientist added.

Earlier, CNN said that the CIA is working on supplying weapons to Kurdish forces in order to provoke an uprising in Iran. It is noted that the administration of US President Donald Trump is actively negotiating with Iranian opposition groups and Kurdish leaders in Iraq on providing them with military support.

The Axios portal, for its part, reported that the US president spoke with the leaders of the two main Kurdish groups in Iraq — Masoud Barzani and Bafel Talabani the day after the start of the bombing of Iran.

The statement: "We are marching on Madrid with four army columns, and the fifth column is waiting for us in Madrid" belongs to the Spanish General Emilio Mole. The phrase was uttered during the Spanish Civil War, in October 1936, when nationalist troops were advancing on the capital. By "fifth column" Mola meant Franco's secret supporters inside Madrid, who were supposed to support the offensive from inside the city. This expression has become a household name for internal enemies or secret agents of influence.
