Tipping the Balance

In June 2019 The Voice predicted that the 9th of July would see the act that would tip the balance in the Gulf

The 9th of July saw the act that has tipped the balance in the Gulf, bringing an uneasy alliance of US and UK interests, supported by the threat of an increasing military presence – tipping the equation in favour of an easier step to conflict.

On the 9th July 2019 the UK raised its threat level to British shipping in Iranian waters to the highest level.

On Wednesday the 10th July 2019 (July 9th in the US), it was reported Iranian boats had to be forced away a Royal Navy frigate, HMS Montrose, as it defended a British oil tanker.

The given story is that the boats belonged to the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps.

Respectful and considered people of the US are already trying to limit Donald Trumps ability to use these and subsequent events as a mechanism to justify war.

The Voice was due to post information regarding events at the end of July and beyond. For reasons I can’t go into here, the rest of the detail will be given to contacts at the Washington Post directly by their request.
