Iranian Foreign ministry to the European officials: You have no right to speak on behalf of the European peoples who loudly condemn the crimes of Israel"
Vladimir Putin was asked why he was not assisting Iran in the conflict with Israel He replied: “Israel today is almost a Russian-speaking country, two million people from the Soviet Union and Russia live there. We take that into account.”
Lord Finkelstein in the Times.
Mohammad Marandi: If they want to destroy Iran’s key infrastructure, that’s a possibility. But then Iran will destroy all key infrastructure in this region—everything. All the oil and gas installations in the Persian Gulf region and in the Caucasus will be gone, finished. They won’t be damaged; they’ll be destroyed. And that will mean that the key infrastructure of the United States will collapse. The world will collapse because we will enter a severe global economic depression. If that’s what the United States wants, that’s what it will get. But the world will know that it’s the United States that did this. It will know that the Zionists did this. It will know that Netanyahu did this. Because Iran does not want war. Iran does not want to expand the war. We want to live in peace. We want the rights of Palestinians, the Lebanese, and the people of Syria to be restored.
So we've wasted billions & risked a global catastrophe to replace Khamenei with Khamenei, turning the father into a martyr, rally Islamic Republic's base, and force the system to elect a wartime successor—the more hardline, anti-Western son likely to be consumed with avanging the death of his entire family.
Thanks to Operation Epic Failure, the Iranian regime has proven its resilience to the world, and is more entrenched, radicalized, and securitized today than it was last month.
What's worse, this was all predicted by realist thinkers, Iran experts, and US intelligence. The Trump admin chose to ignore our advice and listen to Lindsey Graham and Mark Levin instead. Great job to all involved.
Arta Moeni: “We will look back at some point to this war as the moment that this US era of invincibility has completely vanished.”
