Israel and US Systematically Hunting Basij Militia, Which Holds the Keys to the Regime's Survival

Hot Air


"Almost every journalist covering Operations Epic Fury and Roaring Lion manages to combine near-total ignorance and a growing hostility to the United States to create a toxic binary gaseous emission of stupidity. 

"It's been only a bit more than two weeks since the operations began, and Iran's military infrastructure is in ruins, its leadership decapitated, its secondary and tertiary leaders are dropping like flies, its internal security forces are at each other's throats, its neighbors have turned against it in fury, and it has only managed minor damage to the US or Israel. 

"The regime is playing its last cards, sporadically lobbing its last missiles and drones, flailing. Even its most potent weapon—control over the Strait of Hormuz—is a wasting asset, because the most concentrated pain it inflicts is upon itself, because the United States has now defanged Kharg Island, out of which 90% of Iran's oil is delivered. The US can occupy the island any time it wants, cutting off more than half of Iran's income. 

"Yet to read Pravda and to listen to the Democrats, [And Baghdad Jen] the United States and Israel have no plan and are losing the war badly. "

"This assessment is based mostly on hostility to Israel and Donald Trump, and hardly at all on the facts on the ground. . . .
