This except is part of my 13th political thriller "The Global Threat".I hope it won't seem to you as a pretentious piece. It isn't a prediction and it may not happen as it appears in this excerpt. Alt

At the first of Amordad of the year 1392 (May the 16th 2014), the Assembly of Experts has convened at the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's office in the Niavaran Palace in Teheran. Except the 88 assembly members, the head of the revolutionary guard and his four deputies were present too.

On a heightened stage close the hall's opposite wall to which a separate wide corridor led, sat the supreme leader with the assembly chairman Mahdvi Kani that was sitting on the supreme leader right side, and major general Qasem Soliemani the head of the Revolutionary Guard was sitting on his left side.

The assembly chairman Mahdvi Kani opened up the session after having received the permission of the supreme leader the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

'Your Holy Highness, most respectful colleagues we've gathered here this morning to discuss possible solutions to our current urgent problems. His Holy Highness will describe the two main issues that we wish to discuss and reach a suitable solution with Allah's blessings for each one of these problems.' The assembly chairman sat down beside the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Khamenei opened up his speech sitting.

'We've gathered today with Allah's blessings to solve two delicate problems. The first problem and the more urgent one is increasing our influence over the United Arab Emirates, the presence of the American war ships at the straits of the Persian Gulf hinder our plans. We did send three of our warships to the Atlantic Ocean, to cross the American territorial waters and force them thus to withdraw their plane carriers and warships from our sea.' His highness made a short break to drink a few drops of water from the glass set on the table in front of him. Although he did not intend to admit that it was his direct order to send that naval force, as it was in fact the idea of major general Qasem Soleimani who has the Iranian navy under his direct command too, but he Ali Khamenei the supreme leader has approved it out of human weakness, he likes Qasem and trusts him as if hew his own son. It took him several days to realize that it was a mistake on his part, and the voyage towards the U.S. Eastern Coast a futile maneuver.  

It's an embarrassing moment for both of us, he thought while supposedly quenching his thirst.

I won't mention how useless that provocative initiative has been, I'll just bring forth entirely other possible solutions in general terms. He told himself before putting the glass of water back on the table and resuming his speech, and I won't mention that fiasco anymore. He promised himself

'We shall have to return to our policy of smiles and good will for the time being, and send our elected president to Washington to meet the big Satan leaders, their media and to beguile them in order to make them believe that we've no intention to assume control over the United Arab Emirates and their oil resources; which would mean in fact taking over all the American bases in these states too. So this would be one of the ways to make the American withdraw their plane carriers and warships from our sea, and leave the United Arab Emirates at our mercy.'

His crowd of the honorable assembly of experts members those that have chosen him to be their supreme leader, sat on in utter silence erect on their seats without the slightest movement in the hall beneath their supreme leader's stage; waiting patiently to their leader's wise analysis, despite the fact that some of them wished to hear words, which will correspond to a more aggressive approach.

'If we'll succeed in persuading the Americans to withdraw their plane carriers and warships and free our sea from their presence, and we'll assume control diplomatically at first over the United Arab Emirates…' He added smiling to the relief of his audience that smiled back, and started to fidget on their seats to stretch their stiff limbs.

'We'll be free to tackle our second problem, the threatening defense treaty between the Saudis and Pakistan, and cut the strangulation bond on both our country's borders.' He made another short pause to let his audience grasp the full significance of his speech up to this moment.

'We've already very firm ties with the Taliban, and we're helping them to topple the American puppets' regime of Afghanistan. This would be our third stage. The fourth stage with Allah's blessing would be a mutual effort with the Taliban to vanquish Pakistan and take control over their atomic bombs' arsenal.' He cleared his throat raised his glass and drank the last drops of water left in it.

'Saudi Arabia would be an easy prey after our fourth stage, and our hegemony in the region and the Muslim world would be accomplished; the little Satan will panic and collapse and its cursed inhabitants will flee, while we won't need to do the slightest effort to destroy them.' With these last hopeful words the supreme leader stood up, his minimal entourage of the assembly of experts head and the head of the Revolutionary Guard followed suit. The discussion that was in fact His Holy Highness speech was over, and his audience that listened and obeyed him blindly stood up too, and waited humbly until their supreme leader and his small entourage would leave the hall.
