Islamic Republic of Texas? How Jade Helm Could Be a Mock Invasion of Iran

Islamic Republic of Texas? How Jade Helm Could Be a Mock Invasion of Iran The US military is preparing to launch a massive military drill in towns scattered across the American Southwest. US Special Forces to Swarm Southwest for Massive Military Drills In the past several days, leaked plans for seven-state a US Special Operations Command (SOCOM) exercise in which states role-play as countries have made rounds across both news sites and conspiracy theorist circuits, with the latter ringing alarm, calling the drills a preparation for martial law.
However, considering layout of the states used in the exercise, as well as their climate and terrain, the intent could be a preparation for an invasion of Iran and a Middle East-wide war. According to the leaked proposal for the operation, service members will practice: – Operating outside the normal support mechanisms – Adapting to unfamiliar terrain, social and economic conditions – Operating in and around communities where anything out the ordinary will be spotted and reported (Locals are the first to notice something out of place) – The opportunity to work with civilians to gain their trust and an understanding of the issues

Texas — Islamic Republic of Iran
Texas, colored red for "hostile," is likely a simulation of an invasion of Iran. Although it does not have the optimal terrain to simulate Iran, the proposal for the exercise appears to have chosen Texas for its Realistic Military Training because local authorities and the population are most receptive
QUOTE
New Mexico — Iraq
New Mexico, viewed from Amtrak's Southwest Chief New Mexico is a state that has vast swathes of desert, like Iraq. Iraq has close ties with Iran, which could be a reason for why it is colored brown for "uncertain, leaning hostile," which Iraq would likely be if Iran was to be invaded.
QUOTE
Utah — Syria
Like Syria, which would be considered hostile in case of an Iran invasion, Utah is colored red. In addition, like parts of Syria, Utah has both mountains and flatlands.
QUOTE
Colorado — Turkey
Colorado is a largely mountainous state, like Turkey, and it is colored blue for "permissive," which means that aircraft and troops would be able to move through the state. Turkey as a NATO member would similarly be expected to fulfill such obligations.
QUOTE
Nevada and Arizona — Lebanon and Jordan
Nev Phoenix, Arizona will be the site of the Special Forces' Operational Detachment Headquarters (ODH) and a Marine Corps (MC) site, likely simulating Jordan's capital Amman, which has been the site of Marine Corps deployments in recent years. However, although Phoenix is in a largely desert environment, it is also next to a mountain range, unlike Amman.
QUOTE
California — Israel and Palestine
California generally has a soft Mediterranean climate, like Israel, and would be permissive to US military movements, as Israel would be. There are no deployments planned to California, as the simulated invasion of Iran would likely not have much of an impact on the situation there. The "insurgent pocket" likely represents both the inland West Bank and the coastal Gaza Strip, which would be hostile to the operation and would not allow the US military to operate in the area. However, it is also possible that California is a simulation of Lebanon, and the "insurgent pocket" is a Hezbollah-controlled area that would be opposed to a US invasion of Iran.
