L'Iran (i Israel) volen una guerra llarga però els Estats Units la vol curta. Si en 15 dies Trump no pot anunciar alguna mena de victòria clara es començarà a posar nerviós perquè no té paciència. En canvi, per al règim iranià cada dia podent disparar projectils és una victòria.

Trump has started praising Iran 😂 “I’m dealing with very smart players. These are smart people. They don’t get there otherwise. You know who you’re dealing with. High-level intellect. High ,very high-IQ people.” He’s a DESPERATE for a DEAL.

This Trump tweet is a work of art and needs to be kept for posterity. It turns out that the US has destroyed 100% of Iran’s military capability. Yet, to combat a military with no capability he is left pleading with allies he has regularly insulted to save him in the Gulf.

Que Paco Cerdà haja escrit aquest article al NYT em fa sentir orgullós del periodisme, però també de compartir valencianitat amb ell.

US and Israel don’t understand the war they’re fighting. Iran is waging an almost perfect asymmetric war, absorbing the attacks, strategically rendering the surrounding bases unusable, destroying radars, and maintaining control of the Strait of Hormuz while still preserving its missile launch capability. And it’s doing all of this after losing very little of its navy, air force, or overall arsenal, something we can easily verify by checking the visual evidence of losses. The US and Israel are in an extremely difficult situation because they only know one kind of war: brute-force destruction. Now they’re facing a strategically well-positioned Iran that is fighting on its own terms and timeline. What did Iran do? It focused on resilience against bombings and kept almost its entire arsenal in large underground bases that the US and Israel have already spent huge amounts of munitions trying to penetrate. I’ll say this: so far, Iran has shown very little of what I know of its arsenal. It still has more than 20 models of aquatic drones that it hasn’t even put in the water yet. They didn’t study Iran enough and severely underestimated it. Iran is a global leader in missiles and drones, alongside Russia and China. The people in Washington were extremely reckless. You can be a complete madman in politics and still get away with it, but that doesn’t work in wars. This is all a carefully built strategy for the global market to defeat the US, not Iran. The false numbers from CENTCOM are being repeated by many Americans, but this propaganda doesn’t change the battlefield reality and isn’t degrading Iran any further. "In other asymmetric wars lost by the US, tens of times the amount of bombs dropped on Iran were used. As I have already said here, no one studied those wars, much less the war in Ukraine, where 200,000 tons of missiles, bombs, and drones have already been launched without solving the problem. No, it’s not about bombs. I see Iran very determined to continue the war, which creates a massive problem for the Americans. They now have to deal with the global market, pressure from the Gulf countries, internal political pressure, inflationary issues, and complications with China and Russia. This is the conflict between raw firepower and strategy.
