Could the United States lose the war in Iran? Why one professor thinks it will happen
PennLive ^ | March 4, 2026 | Brian Linder

Posted on 03/07/2026 10:17:09 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

Professor Jiang Xueqin made three big predictions back in 2024.

The first was that Donald Trump would win the election and become President of the United States again. The second was that Donald Trump would start a war with Iran.

Both of those predictions came true which makes the third prediction concerning for the United States. And that is because the professor predicted that it would lose the war to Iran.

Jiang made an appearance on “Breaking Points” this week to lay out how he fears it all could play out.

“Given my analysis of how the war is progressing, I think that Iran has many more advantages over the United States,” Jiang said. “The reality is, right now, it’s a war of attrition between the United States and Iran, and Iranians have been preparing 20 years for this conflict.

“In their religion, this is a war against the great Satan,” he continued. “They’ve had many practice runs. Last June was a 12-day war when the Iranians were able to examine and analyze the strike capacities of both the Israelis and the Americans., and they have had a lot of time, eight months, to prepare fully for this new attack.”

I don’t know how you win a war without boots on the ground.

He must be consulting “keys” that were used to inaccurately forecast the election. That or just wishful thinking!

“ I don’t know how you win a war without boots on the ground.”

Depends on how your define “win” (or “lose”)...do Kurdish “boots on the ground” count?

Yeah I wasted my time reading this garbage. It ends with a prediction of Trump’s third term based on war powers granted by Congress.

So many childish assertions throughout.

Starts with Iran has had 12 years or 12 months or whatever to prepare for this. Tell the professor that if let’s say Aruba had 1200 years to prepare for war with the US, that wouldn’t mean they can win.

Trump loses midterms, gets impeached , removed, and sent to prison. Trump just lost on the economy, inflation and affordability, made life miserable for white males who put him in office, gas shortages, skyrocketing debt and gas prices.....Trump is exactly what communists rail against about white supremacist, capittalist , war mongering, empire building males. It is sad, because GOP has nominated anti war businessmen in Bush, Romney and Trump. McCain was the anomaly ( I voted for Romney in 2008, Ron Paul in 2012).....because George W Bush became such a hated fool by 2008 that Republicans nominated McCain out of guilt & a dumb sense of obligation, which John McCain soon proved why it was such a big mistake to nominate him in 2000, 2008 or any time. Trump has let the country down like Bush, McCain, Romney,Biden did.....like Dole did, like HW Bush did in 1992 ...

You can totally oppose this war, but nobody can deny we are destroying their assets, seems Iran focused mostly on missiles and missile systems which it turns out were easy to find and destroy by the USA

It seems obvious to me that the revolution in Iran that overthrew the Shah that was praised by the New York Times, was allied with Russia, so cozy with Obama and Biden.......is a communist front.

They can prepare all they want. With total control of the sky they will just keep dying until there is not enough left to matter. I don’t see any way they could win

. . . gas shortages . . . skyrocketing debt and gas prices . . .

High gas prices avoid the former. People also tend to do things like car pool and public transportation to reduce the cost to their pocket book and there by decreasing demand for gas.

Have we forgotten how high gas was under the previous leftist administration. We didn't like it but we got through it.

Once the shipping is restored in the strait of Hormuz the price comes back down rather quickly. Probably well before early voting in the midterms starts.

...Trump loses midterms, gets impeached ...

He was already impeached. So was Clinton and Andrew Johnson. The result was not enough Senators to Convict. Historically it is very difficult to get that 2/3 vote in the Senate for anybody. Not a realistic probability. Especially given the success of the war so far.49 leaders killed on the first day . Then you had Congress essentially voting to continue the war.

man, this guys got it bad. I especially liked the part about Iran is “pounding” Israel, yeesh. What war is he watching?. Take away the political ramifications and the media, and looking at this from a strictly military lens, this is one of the worst beat downs ever. Hes does realize these drones have wooden propellers, lol. Not sure how many wars youll win with “drones’...those are like mosquitoes. As for boots on the ground, just keep killing their leaders, theyll quit. Flip the armed forces and wallah, mission accomplished
