Behind the façade of supposed Western superiority, of American military overarmament, of the supposed invincibility of the Israeli army and the propaganda that dominates wars. the truths that emerged from the two week war are shocking.
The American bases in the Persian Gulf have suffered tremendous damage, Tel Aviv and Haifa in Israel have large sections of them leveled, indeed chaos prevails, the Israeli air defense failed and proved that no air defense system is capable of confronting missiles of new technology.
Also the Iranians struck another 5 refueling aircraft, tanker aircraft that were grounded, while it is now accurate that the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln was indeed hit by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Iran destroyed 60 strategic targets and 500 tactical targets in the Persian Gulf and in Israel, surprising the Americans and terrorizing the Israelis.
At the same time the Iranians report that the Strait of Hormuz will open only to those oil tankers that pay in the Chinese currency yuan. this constitutes a tremendous economic defeat for the Americans.
The dollar is being replaced by the yuan and why yuan, because the Iranians have large economic cooperation of 400 to 450 billion dollars with the Chinese who are implementing development projects in Iran.
In addition Russians and Chinese have helped Iran significantly in order to have spectacular results in the Persian Gulf and in Israel.
The conclusions
Iran on the surface destroyed, on the underground invulnerable
1) Iran has visibly suffered extensive destruction on the surface since more than 1,400 targets have received heavy strikes.
However the main strength of the Iranians is located in underground facilities inside mountains.
Unlike Iraq which is desert, without mountain slopes, Iran has special topogeography with many mountains, there are entire tunnels where underground cities have also been created where their critical weapons systems are protected.
Iran destroyed 60 strategic targets of the United States and Israel
2) Iran delivered a crushing blow to the coalition of the United States and Israel.
Behind the propaganda of Trump that they won. the Americans know that they have suffered shock and their military prestige received a strong blow.
The Abraham Lincoln was indeed hit, 14 American bases have been destroyed and 60 strategic targets have been dismantled and approximately 500 tactical targets have been struck.
Israel turns into a wasteland... Tel Aviv and Haifa like Gaza
3) Israel lost every military advantage, the air defense proved to be a sieve, the air defense systems THAAD proved tragic mediocrities, 6 THAAD have been destroyed and another 4 have suffered damage.
Part of Tel Aviv and Haifa have become wasteland. just as Gaza is destroyed, many neighborhoods of Tel Aviv have been leveled.
Israel, in panic, banned the posting of video and images. a country that wins does not prohibit the publication of images.
Now Israel has suffered a heavy defeat since critical military bases have been leveled.
Blows to American prestige
4) Never in history have the Americans suffered prestige blows of such scale.
An aircraft carrier was hit, military bases were destroyed, the base of the 5th Fleet is bombarded daily.
Refueling aircraft tanker aircraft are shot down or receive strikes.
Warplanes are shot down.
At the same time the Strait of Hormuz closes causing chaos in energy. especially in oil.
At the same time Wall Street alone has lost 2.2 trillion dollars from the panic of the war.
For a ground operation the United States needs 500,000 soldiers
5) The Russians have stated that in order for the United States and Israel to carry out a ground operation and for it to succeed they need 500,000 soldiers.
However as the Russians say, in order for an army of 500,000 soldiers to be assembled, together with reserves, logistics, ammunition, weapons and all the equipment, 6 to 7 months are needed.
The reports that they will send 2,500 marines for landing. we simply note that the United States must prepare 2,500 coffins as well, no one will return alive.
If Trump reaches the point of being at war with Iran until 3 November 2026 in the midterm elections. the Republicans will be crushed.
Already the vice president of the United States has expressed his reservations about what is happening, about the war, about the murder of 171 girls, school students in a girls’ school.
Hormuz opens to those who pay in yuan
6) An important decision was taken by the Iranians, delivering another economic blow to the Americans.
They announced that the Strait of Hormuz will open to those ships that are paid in yuan... it constitutes a hard blow for the dollar.
The Iranians have suffered destruction in their national currency, it has no value, however they have signed a strategic agreement China with Iran, which reaches 400 to 450 billion dollars, over a depth of 25 years, it constitutes a pact of strategic cooperation that was signed in 2021, and it is being implemented.
Russia and China clearly help Iran militarily
7) For the successes of the Iranians it should be mentioned that they are attributed both to their advanced missile systems and drone technology and to the systematic help of Russians and Chinese who provide them with navigation, satellite images and missile systems.
Seyyed Majid Mousavi (IRGC): The plan is clear, the intensity of Iran’s missile attacks against Israel will intensify with geometric progression
Brigadier General Seyyed Majid Mousavi, commander of the Aerospace Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, emphasized
“During the last 48 hours, the rate of Iranian missiles striking targets of Americans and Zionist criminals has doubled and will intensify with geometric progression.”
IRGC Iranians claim they control part of Israel’s airspace
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) controls a significant part of Israeli airspace, reports Press TV.
“A significant part of Israeli airspace is under our control,” states a post on the channel of the IRGC.
The United States and Israel launched a military campaign against the Islamic Republic of Iran on 28 February.
Since then, both sides have been exchanging strikes.
CNN: Iran will open the Strait of Hormuz to tankers if paid in Chinese yuan
Iran is considering allowing a limited number of oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, subject to a transition to payments in yuan, reports CNN, citing a senior Iranian official.
“Iran is considering allowing a limited number of oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, on the condition that the oil cargo will be traded in Chinese yuan.”
According to the source, this is part of Iran’s new plan to control shipping in the strait.
NDTV reported that at least two Indian tankers, the Pushpak and the Parimal, had passed safely through the waterway, even as ships from the United States, Europe, and Israel continued to face restrictions.
The United States–Israel operation against Iran has essentially halted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for delivering energy resources from the countries of the Persian Gulf to the global market.
Recently, Brent crude oil prices exceeded 119 dollars per barrel for the first time since June 2022, representing an increase of 29% to 31%.
Natural gas prices are also rising, particularly in Europe.
Since the end of February, exchange prices there have increased by more than 100%.
Daniel Devis (United States): U.S. military failures increase the risk of nuclear weapons use in Iran
The United States is in a difficult position in the war with Iran.
They have no way to unblock the Strait of Hormuz, said retired United States Army lieutenant colonel Daniel Devis.
“We are stuck. We are in a bad position.
There is no obvious exit.
We are in real trouble, because even if U.S. President Trump and Israel continue to drop bombs and missiles, this will not help open the Strait of Hormuz,” noted Daniel Devis.
At the same time, Daniel Devis pointed out that Iran refuses to comply with the threats of Trump, something that could escalate the conflict to the point of nuclear war with tactical nuclear weapons.
He added that the American leader is impatient and is not accustomed to being confronted, therefore he could “give in to the temptation” to propose the use of nuclear weapons.
Trump had previously stated that he cannot yet define a timetable for ending the war with Iran.
He emphasized that the military operation will last “as long as necessary”.
According to Axios, Russian president Putin offered to transfer 450 kilograms of Iranian enriched uranium to Russia, but Trump rejected it.
Strike to the Achilles’ heel - The operation against Iran turned into a disaster for the United States
Iranian retaliation against American bases in the Middle East will force the United States to make concessions, argued British journalist Martin Jay in an article for Strategic Culture.
“The continuous bombardments of both Israel and the Gulf states have become a fatal blow and a real Achilles’ heel for the West and U.S. President Trump.
At some point, the Arab Gulf states will begin to pressure both Israel and the United States to stop the attacks, and this can mean only one thing, serious concessions from Washington,” reports Strategic Culture.
The operation against Iran has turned into a disaster for the United States.
“With rising natural gas prices, a new leader in Iran who does not lose a minute in continuing the attacks, and a weakened Israel, all the nightmares of the White House seem to be becoming reality at the same time,” concluded Strategic Culture.
