Max Blumenthal explains here that every ballistic missile fired by Iran was fired to drain interceptors already badly depleted from the 12-Day War. Once they were gone, the newer Shahid drones got through. Iran just spent $20 million to deplete US interceptors worth 3 or 4 billion and US has lost 80% control in the region. A report suggests that Gulf countries are withdrawing their investments from the USA if the US fails to provide them security.
First of all that that the negotiations were a sham and that Witzkoff and Kushner were dedicated Zionist ideologues who were going to be pushing Israeli terms in order to cross Iran's red lines so that Trump could believe that he had to go to war and blame Iran.
That's number one. Number two, Iran would have to launch a regional war when it was attacked in order to escalate the economic pain and exercise its economic leverage, which means either partially or totally closing the straight of Hormuz. It's partially closed it. Ships are reluctant to cross. Iran doesn't even have to mine it to prevent them from crossing. This was inevitable.
Iran had to launch a regional war and go all out because if it had just tempered its response as it did during the 12-day war to avoid escalation, as it's always done in the past, the Israelis would come back for more and they essentially control Donald Trump. And so Iran would just be delaying the inevitable.

Iran was wrongly said by many analysts and not just neo-conservative Likud analysts that Iran was at its weakest point. Iran is actually at its strongest point militarily, which helped color Israel's calculus on why it had to do this. And so this was all very predictable. And Marandi said that the US and Israel will pay a heavy price.
And while Iran will also face heavy heartbreaking losses - as we know the Israelis according to their Dahiya doctrine attack civilians in order to force concessions from the leadership and the US will be following that doctrine - Iran will be suffering but they will gain a strategic advantage in this war and they gained that strategic advantage early on. So everything Professor Marandi predicted is coming true right now.
Professor Mohammad Marandi is a supporter of the Iranian government but seems worth hearing.

Every objective going into this war to the extent that there were any objectives at all for the United States has completely failed and been repudiated not just by the IRGC but by the Iranian population. Regime change was I mean I don't know how anyone could have believed that this would take place but Trump was actually convinced by the Israelis that if they assassinated Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his general staff or generals from the IRGC that Iran would collapse. And that delusion was fueled by bogus propaganda about the two days of rioting in Iran, where it was believed in delusional neoconservative and think tank lanyard circles on K Street in Washington that the Iranian people were primed for this massive revolt to topple the Islamic Republic. That was exposed as sheer fantasy by the massive unprecedented rallies of Iranians coming out in squares to voice their defiance and we see it night after night in squares across Iran and it was not just hardcore supporters of the Islamic Republic coming out. So regime change has been repudiated.>
