Is Trump really prepared for a long war against Iran? Definitely not if you read between the lines. Trump's earlier plan was just a surprise attack taking a few days to take out the Iranian leaders, something along the lines he took against Iran's nuclear facilities in June 2025, hoping to get away with it again, and this time to elicit a regime change, which did not happen. Trump was boasting of just a 4 to 5 days mission, and he is now stuck in a trap for a month already.
Trump is already boasting about 'mission accomplished' once again by saying that he is giving 'another chance' to Iran to surrender, after making another 30 days extension, basically to allow the USA and Israel to regroup, rearm and repair those damaged radar systems if possible. Trump has made this same move earlier during the 12-day war against Iran, for regrouping and rearming, and is resorting to using the same modus operandi again. Iran knows what is happening, which is why it has not stopped its drones and missiles raining down on Israel and Gulf region.
The other question to ask Is whether Iran is prepared for a long war. I would say definitely so, and for several decades already, building up its stockpile of weapons, building underground bunkers for drone and missile stockpiling, siting weapon factories deep underground, building underground shoreline batteries along the Persian Gulf, all calculated for this war.
Trump is now desperate going for broke to attack Iran's power plants and energy infrastructures after the 30-days ultimatum. But Iran is now fully capable of retaliating after taking out USA radar systems and interceptor batteries protecting its military bases during the first few days of the war. So, Trump can threaten to take out Iran's power plants and in doing so, Iran is definitely going to take out power plants and de-salination plants in Israel and Gulf countries catering to the support of the USA's military installations. The result is that Iran can put the whole Middle East in the dark. Moreover, by then, energy movements out of the Persian Gulf will totally be non-existent, for how long we do not know.

The same threat of hitting Iran's energy infrastructure by Trump is being repeated and the stock market moves further downwards while oil prices are going skywards.
ReplyDeleteAny attempt to carry out the threat means a longer war, a longer wait for oil movements out of the Persian Gulf and a more certain global economic crash coming. That probably suits Russia fine, with sanction lifted, oil prices at double the US$65 a barrel and Putin laughing all the way to the bank - Chinese banks no doubt if sold in Yuan.
How is Trump going to drop his marines into Iran, seize the enriched Uranium and get out is a mystery. Is he thinking of the same modus operandi of having traitors in Iran helping those marines to escape? The assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader and others, including the killing of 160 schoolgirls have united the Iranian people more than ever. Instead of bringing out the Uranium, not knowing exactly where they are hidden, will result in bringing out more body bags for those marines, provided they can get out alive.
Iran must threaten Trump, if you hit my energy infrastructure, we will hit Diego Garcia.
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell is happening? Trump claiming nice negotiating going on in his mind while Iran is saying no such thing. Who is lying? I think we must look at who had been famous for lying throughout the decades. Does anyone have a clue?
ReplyDeleteWhat the hail? It is all in the book or playbook. No hiding.
ReplyDeleteHow stupid can one be talking about ending the Ukraine War within 24 hours. The man has no brains, a mere juvenile delinquent, with a diarrhea mouth that is used for farting.
ReplyDeleteTrump is now swinging the market by touting he is ending the war without opening the Straits of Hormuz. If this is true, it factually indicates that Iran has won the day and implementing of tolls for traffic through the Straits of Hormuz is becoming a reality. It will not even amount to a face-saving exit for the USA. This will be a nasty wake up call for the Gulf countries and it could result in the end of USA military bases in the Middle East. We have to wait and see.
ReplyDeleteThe reality of what most people have been saying is coming true. The USA and Israel are running out of ammo, unable to protect vital infrastructures and wanted a ceasefire to regroup, rearm and repair damaged military infrastructures, but Iran is not buying into another ceasefire deal. Iran learnt a useful lesson during the 12-day war and may have paid a price. This was a lesson that Hitler failed to learn. But the experience has been fruitful this time around.
But let us not be taken away, because the child-president is bound to act irrationally if pressured by Netanyahu. Iran must not let its guard down for any reason, continue to stockpile and upgrade military hardware in co-operation with Russia and China. In any case, the USA is stuck in a very tight corner. Retaliating by targeting power plants and desalination plants amounts to war crimes. Boots on the ground is a no brainer trying to conduct a war in such a vast country as Iran against enemies familiar with the ground, just like the Vietcong during the Vietnam War. Not having troops on the ground means no regime change ever is going to happen, no seizure of the enriched Uranium in underground bunkers and nothing achieved beyond making the military reputation of the USA in tatters. And Iran will yet have the bomb for safety like North Korea.
Don't tell me TACO is at it again.
DeleteBasically, it means end of 'Iron Dome' era and aircraft carrier era. Moving ahead will be hypersonic drones and missiles, with even robot army on the horizon. In the latter category, China ought to dominate until a new dominant weapon takes over. Maybe space weapons will be the key.
