The mullahcracy had the swell idea of avoiding accountability for attacks on Israel. They would surround Israel with well-armed proxies to do their dirty work. Hezb’allah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, Houthis in the Red Sea, militias in Iraq and Syria, and allied forces in the West Bank. They would assert hegemony over the Middle East and choke off petro products to the world by blockading the Strait of Hormuz.
As it stands today, military action by the U.S. and Israel and economic warfare by the Treasury have nearly extinguished these fires. Iran is broke; they alone are being blockaded in the Strait with no means to earn oil revenue. Inflation is so great the rial is valueless (now over two million to the U.S. dollar). Most of its leadership is dead. Its navy has been sunk. Its radar and missile capacities are virtually nonexistent. It’s a defenseless sitting duck. Except for torturing and murdering its own citizens, it poses no real threat to anyone. It lacks allies it once assumed and is disintegrating rapidly. It is being consumed in the flames it lit.
Hezb’allah
A key component of the ring plan was Hezb’allah in Lebanon. This week, at Ali-Al-Taher, it fell to Israeli forces. Iran had called the security of this base a red line, which Israel crossed at its peril. There was no offensive move by Iran after the base fell.
A 20-year IRGC military project has fallen to Israel, exposing just how badly the Islamic Republic’s regional deterrence has eroded.
Ali al-Taher was not simply another Hezbollah position. It was a deeply buried Iranian-backed military complex, reportedly cut 30–50 meters into rock, with command rooms, weapons stores, generators, living quarters, kitchens and clinics. It served as a headquarters for Hezbollah’s Badr Unit, responsible for the sector north

“Instead, Israel developed a method for defeating it without paying the price the IRGC intended: surround it, sever its logistics, dominate the air above it and wait.”
good ol’ siege warfare, been around for centuries; now being applied to Iran itself, including a 21st century twist of debanking and other digital financial warfare ...
“Now the Islamic Republic itself is being squeezed by collapsing oil revenue, a devastated rial, extreme inflation and increasingly aggressive financial restrictions. Now the patron is running short of money, the flagship proxy is rationing what remains, and the empire Iran was impoverished to build is becoming increasingly difficult to sustain.”
a far cry from the the obama strategy of flying planeloads of palletized one hundred dollar bills to try to buy off the IRGC ...
“Iran is wounded badly, it may be in its final days, whatever they have left will be used before the Mullahs leave the scene”
the very reason that President Trump vowed that Iran shall never possess an atomic bomb ...
Where is Iran’s regular army?
“After those strings are cut, the mullahs will be reduced to the point where they pose a threat only to the local farm animals.”
and the chief cutter has been President Trump’s superhero secret weapon, SecTreas Scott Bessent ...
The hundreds of millions of dollars wasted trying to destroy Israel...it’s just sickening. I wonder if the Iranian people realize how they’ve been robbed.
I would not be surprised to see something happen before the end of the year.
I respectfully disagree. If Iranian "sleeper cells" are in the United States waiting to carry out terrorists attacks, then they would have done so already to inject fear into every day life as the mid-terms elections approach. Early voting starts in many states with the next two to four weeks. If Iran wants to use terror attacks to influence voters, then it would have initiated multiple attacks several weeks/months ago.
Nice
“China has sold them out and is locking in deals with Saudi Arabia and the rest of the region. The Islamic Republic is becoming irrelevant by the day. Russia is bailing out of Iran, like it did 17 days before the 40-day war between Iran and US-Israel. A Russian private jet just pulled the last remaining Russian technicians out of Bushehr and Asaluyeh. Dexter Air Taxi flight DXT9686 (RA-02786) headed back to Russia. The rats are leaving the sinking ship. Even Moscow won’t stay. The occupying Islamic regime in Tehran is being abandoned in real time.”
chicom/russkie trolls here are greatly saddened: they can no longer credibly claim that russia and/or china are riding to the rescue of the IRGC ...
“They are working on both as we speak and being supported by a number of countries like Russia and China.”
if you bothered to read the entire article, you would that’s not true, or maybe you just want to pontificate about stuff you don’t know anything about ...
Imagine the disappointment and chagrin, with more than a few here, when we USA…win this thing?
closer to hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars wasted over the decades ...
just think if even a tiny fraction of that had gone into building and operating massive desalination plants like several other countries in the region have done ...
Contrary to the low IQ…we are winning.
Yes….
There is a record of Donald Trump going back decades. President Trump has done more to defeat islamic radicals more than his predecessors combined.
Of course they do
