Mohammad Marandi & Larry C. Johnson: If War Starts… Iran’s Retaliation Could Be DEVASTATING

Analysis of escalating US-Iran tensions reveals attack unlikely due to Iran's decades-long military preparations: vast drone/missile arsenals, underground facilities, and regional allies (Iraq, Yemen, Hezbollah) ready for all-out war—not limited retaliation. Any strike would trigger Strait of Hormuz closure, collapsing global oil markets and economies worldwide. Recent Western-backed riots in Iran failed spectacularly, exposing pre-planned destabilization attempts. While indirect negotiations have begun, deep trust deficits persist after JCPOA betrayal and ongoing Gaza slaughter. Core obstacle remains Zionist influence over US foreign policy—without Israel, US-Iran relations would normalize rapidly. Shifting multipolar world (BRICS, Russia-China-Iran axis) now constrains US unilateral action, making war economically catastrophic and militarily unwinnable for Washington. Peace remains Iran's goal, but survival demands uncompromising deterrence. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
