I don't understand why its so hard to see Iran beating America in the long run and short run, like the western media is openly lying and using propaganda for its narrative. Venezuela would have been able to beat the usa, if they had a choke point like the straight of hormuz, and the brilliance of the Iranian people. If America thinks its winning, put your soldiers on the ground, that will definitely confirm who's winning and who's loosing in this short war. And don't leave israel with its dick in its hand, bring them too.

The Iranian people are super smart, they know how this war is gone go, so they designed the strategy in anticipation. Take the sheikdoms out first, deplete all there arsenal then we go for the chosen ones.

Why they do that? One from experience of last year's 12 day war, and 2 because they been studying these fools for the last 40 years. History Speaks volume on the western military's or its objectives, except assignations or shock and awe and they not so good at even those, unless they killing some poor revolutionist in south America.

They thought there tactics that they used in iraq or Gaza will work on the same battlefield, they about to get a taste of there own medicine.

For the first time ever , I'm unable to give this particular interview a ' Like ' .....reason being that despite your explaining everything clearly and in great detail ' This Lad ' didn't appear to have the gumption to take any of it on board . If it were me , the next time he contacts you for another chat , I suggest you decline by telling him that you can't , as you'll be " Washing Your Hair " - or may be not as the case may be ..??

This war with Iran would be over by now were it not for the drones and a channel called the Strait of Hormuz.

Revolutionary Guard, Army and police forces have been decimated. And the upper echelons in both the government and military emasculated.

It makes one wonder what damage could be raught upon the Panama Canal by a cartel well armed with drones.

Would one conclude that they should be allowed to continue human trafficking and drug smuggling in order to preserve shipping through the canal?

WRONG ....WRONG ....WRONG & WRONG AGAIN ....WITH BRASS KNOBS ON .

This ' War ' ( skirmish really ) will be over when the IRGC and whom so ever is the Supreme Leader ( + Russia & China ) come the time say's it's over .....and only then . It It will not end simply because those pair of evil war-mongering scum-bags per ' DJT ' & ' Bibi ' declare once again that they've won and it's all over . They haven't won and in real terms they've got a snowball in hell's chance of prevailing over Iran / Russia / China - FACT .

The IRGC / ARMY = 1,000,000 men & unaffected by US / Israeli action ) and the Police

+ the Intelligence side & administration are still intact - despite what you hear from the bought & paid for legacy media and the gob of that ' Grade A ' blowhard and bullshitter in the form of Donald Trump . About time you woke up and smelt the coffee - and stopped lapping up and taking as gospel all of the twaddle you see on TV and in the Paper's . It's clear that you've effectively been lied to and brain-washed but don't have the mental capacity to recognise this unfortunate reality .

' IF ' you want to see " Real Emasculation " - then just sit tight with your eyes and ears

open and your brain programmed to receive rather than transmit - and in the fullness of time you'll see what happens when the USA & Israel have been denuded of what remains

of their interceptor missile stockpile ( As low as Physical Silver ) - when the Iranians are still sat on ( deep - deep underground ) upwards of 45,000 + super advanced MIRVS and Hyper-Sonic missile systems . At that point Tel Avis / Jerusalem / Haifa and all points N - S - W - & East will effectively become ' NAKBA MK II ' - only this time it will be the Israeli's / Fake Jews & Settlers who will be eviscerated and dis-possessed of the Palestinian Arab lands that they stole from its rightful owners and which they've been ' Settling ' ever since

As regards what you've posited about a cohort of ' Cartels ' with drones and other kit taking over the Panama Canal ( Panama Canal .....??? ) _ Yes they may be big time drug smugglers & human traffickers ' BUT ' they're essentially a garden shed operation when set against the industrial level drug smuggling & human trafficking that's been operated under the auspices of the CIA & MOSSAD ( MI6 a bit as well ) for many , many decades before the mexicans & colombians ever got into the business . Who do they think put up the dosh to get the mexican's & colombian's started in the first place ..........?? . This shouldn't be too difficult for you ( hopefully )

I wonder if Alasdair has considered what the Iranian people want. After decades of living under the boot of radical Islamists, don't you think they've had quite enough?

Jack King's avatar

Perhaps, but what they don't want is western culture destroying their nation. Besides, I'm sure they are well aware of what the U.S. means by "self-determination". They might just look to Iraq which has been asking the U.S. to leave its country for 5 years without success. They might also remember that it was the United States that overthrew their government in 1953 and brought the Shah to power, something that was directly responsible for the 1979 Iranian Revolution. I would think what they don't want is to be like the U.S.

@maxmark's avatar

From what I understand they want to be a secular nation, with the personal freedoms that they enjoyed prior to 1979. They love music, education, art, etc. which are banned by the Islamic regime. The Persian culture is not the same as the Islamic culture. I suppose we will see what becomes of all of this in the coming months and years.

What the Iranian people want is to be left alone to their own live's and self-determination

without having ' The British Empire ' / ' The American Hegemon ' / & the ' Sabbatean Frankists ' continually trying to genocide them / steal their OIl & Gas / & impose a corrupt Rothschild operated Central Banking System on them ( Saddam / Ghadaffi / Syria / Lebanon ..etc..etc - " Same Schtick " & modus operandi - the talk of and steps toward a gold backed dinar for Africa and wholesale de-dollarisation results in ' Uncle Sam ' and his verminous NATO ' Poodles ' coming along - eradicating the regime' / stealing all their Gold reserves / Stealing the oil & Gas through bombing them back to the stone age and causing

the dislocation of millions & millions of people ..ALL UNDERSTANDABLY HEADED THIS WAY.!

Ask any Iraqui if it was better when Saddam was in power ( however evil he was ) as opposed to now after being ' liberated ' ( Not ) by ' Uncle Sam ' & NATO - and they'd tell you to a man that if possible they'd take Saddam back like a shot - rather have it the way it is now - FACT .

Where Iran is concerned , I can speak from experience as over the years I've been there 3 x to such as .... Tehran - Isfahan - Tabriz - & Bandar Abbas + various other smaller places .

The ' Radical Islamists ' aren't in fact remotely as hard line and autocratic as you've been brain washed tinto believing by the ' Propaganda Box ' in the corner of your living room .

Women don't all go around head to toe in black and there is an immense amount of freedom - far more than you'd ever realise . For the far greater part the Iranians are a very happy people and some of the kindest and most hospitable you'd find anywhere .

THEY HAVEN'T INVADED or STARTED A WAR WITH ANYOPNE .....THEY PATENTLY AREN'T THE No 1. SPONSOR's OF STATE TERRORISM - They've got nothing on the USA / The British Empire and all of the other European Imperialist / Colonialist / Robber Baron cabal where this is concerned ( May be you should pick up a few history books ...& read them ).

I'll say it again they've done nothing to bring this evil shit storm down upon their heads - all the villains are here under our noses ( In London / Washington / Tel Aviv & Brussels ) .

IRAN JUST WANTS TO BE LEFT ALONE AND IN PEACE - As is their God Given right ..!!

ASK THEM - if they want the Shah & the SAVAK back / If they want to be subjugated under the jackboots of ' The Orange Man ' & ' Bibi ' OR - if they'd prefer the life they've got presently gotunder the Mullah's ........and the Mullah's will get their vote everytime - FACT .

I respectfully disagree with everything you said. And I've been around long enough to have watched it live as it happened, so don't lecture me like I'm 6 years old.

Simon Gedye's avatar

You must think what you think ' BUT ' potentially you probably need to have your eyes peeled vastly wider than they clearly have been .

Have you ever been to Iran or the wider Levant & Middle East in general - have you ever looked into how Iranians actually live their life's in this day and age as opposed to the inacccurate garbage you're fed by Government's & Media alike ....??? . ' IF ' you had indeed ever set foot in Iran ( which you clearly haven't ) then you wouldn't ( couldn't ..!! ) have written such piffle as this .

@maxmark's avatar

I disrespectfully disagree with everything you said.

Simon Gedye's avatar

You can respectfully OR disrespectfully agree or disagree with what so ever you like ....It's your ' Pigeon ' BUT , I'll ask again - Have you ever been to Iran or any other Middle Eastern / Levantine nations , such that you are actually in a position to pass comment through knowledge and experience .....?? .

If you haven't ever been and are simply relying on government and media lies and mis-direction - then better you keep stum and not embarrass yourself any further by giving your views on matters you know nothing about ..CAPICHE'

@maxmark's avatar

I haven't been there personally, but I know a lot of people who are from there. They are thrilled that Israel and America are doing this. They want their secular society back. I would venture to say that if they had weapons, this would have been over long ago.

You can't possibly think that people will tolerate a government that threatens them with violence, kills thousands of its own "citizens", or subjects rather, treats their women like chattel or worse, and is as morally corrupt as any on the planet. In addition, the Islamists have squandered and mismanaged the agricultural sector, the water resources, and stolen millions from profits from the energy sector. What's not to love, eh?

Alasdair, are you familiar with probabilities theory?
