This writer is trying to design a theoretical blueprint for Iranian Jihad. I suggest he might be expendable.
I took the article as the writer making the argument that his country’s Nuclear/Biological/Chemical program needed to focus on weapons development.
For the most part, the author made rational arguments. I think in the scenarios he mentioned he gives the Iranian military a bit more credit and tended to err on the side of Iran doing a bit more damage that I think they could actually do, but I would agree with his overall conclusion that Iran would not be able to stand up against the US should the two countries go to war and that the likelihood of Iran getting outside help would be slim.
His bias/brainwashing showed through however in that every mention of the US was tightly tied with Israel as if the “US/Israel” were a single entity joined at the hip. His reference to US presence in the ME as ‘hegemony’ was also telling of his bias. He didn’t seem to let that bias override his overall logic though.
