  • He speaks like an academic, he admits when he doesn’t have enough information about something. He’s definitely speaking on behalf of the government but I have yet to hear anything from him that was not based on the facts; reasonable predictions, which often prove true. He also speaks well and passionately, and I quite admire him.

    I found out that he fought in the Iran-Iraq war as a 16 year old, which comes through in the way he approaches things. I dearly hope that he survives all this, wouldn’t put it past the Zionists to come after figures like this, might even hit his university like the bloodthirsty monsters that they are.

    Western media in general has reached the point where listening to it is likely to do the reverse of informing you, it will actively misinform you and confuse your picture of the situation. I only check it for the biggest most verifiable facts these days and note the spin and move on. It’s as bad as Pakistani media these days, no point listening if you actually want to understand what’s happening.



  • I’m genuinely impressed by the way they’re playing their cards.

    The inherent disadvantage of ballistic missiles is that the cost of delivering a particular explosive payload to a given location is quite high. The advantage, is being able to strike at great range at short notice and being able to hit the enemy without them being able to easily defend the entire threatened area and without exposing your forces to easy counterattack.

    So the IRGC is playing a careful game of demonstration and pressure. They demonstrate they can hit their targets, show that defensive systems are ineffective, deplete their magazines and remove their early detection capabilities. Now the US-Israel complex can’t predict when and where they will be hit, and recognize that anything can be destroyed at any time. Suddenly, by applying 20-30 missiles and a relative handful of drones per day, striking randomly without giving respite, announcing target lists (as above), picking and choosing the most vulnerable, cost-effective targets, Iran is able to completely paralyze the economies and normal life of essentially all of their enemies across West Asia while also degrading their military capabilities.

    I’m convinced that we’re witnessing a major evolution in the future of warfare centered on drones and ballistic missiles across Ukraine and the Iran war and the IRGC is currently defining military history in a way that will be studied for a long time to come.

    It’s very impressive, and it’s so satisfying to see the imperialists cowering for once!
