Iran is clearly unconcerned about the prospects of the US attempting to return to the battlefield and waging more ineffective war on behalf of Israel:
BREAKING: A source close to Iran’s Ghalibaf says Iran’s “third struggle” plan announced by the IRGC will close Bab el-Mandeb Strait “by fire” and disable the seven submarine internet cables under the Strait of Hormuz, in immediate response to upcoming US strikes that Iran has assessed as “inevitable,” for this weekend. The source adds that Iran will also respond with “next-generation missiles and drones” firing hundreds daily at the Gulf energy infrastructure, and that the US and Israel are playing “Russian roulette” with the outcome being the “collapse of the global economy and unprecedented gas prices.”
And both the US and the Iranian generals appear to know the score.
The US reportedly used up more than half of its inventory of THAAD anti-missile interceptors while defending Israel from Iranian attacks during the recent war. “Israel is not capable of fighting and winning wars on its own, but nobody actually knows this, because they never see the back end,” said a US official quoted in the report.
Hence my conclusion about the desperation of the Netanyahu regime. Israel can’t defeat Hezbollah on its own. It can’t defeat Iran even with the help of the US military. And sooner or later, Turkey is going to sweep down from the north and then it’s all over in the Middle East.
Things are likely going to get very ugly in a number of places over the next decade. And it wouldn’t be a surprise if this somehow played into the 2033 timeline in the United States, especially given the way that AIPAC has now taken complete control of the Republican Party in the aftermath of the Kentucky congressional election.
