💥 With the demise of diplomacy, the conflict has moved from the realm of strategic calculus and realism into one of psychological conditioning.

Straight outt Moscow.

This is VERY special - took place just before the war on Iran, which we knew it would happen.

Tracking the extraordinary series of itvws I did in Moscow in the past 2 weeks, with links to several of them + two bonuses. Key themes: the proxy war in Ukraine, Russia, NATO, US and BRICS.

🛑 Only 24 hours in, and Iran is looking like the player who has a salient military strategy, while holes start to appear in Trump’s.

🇮🇷 Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei was assassinated in what is being described in western media as a joint airstrike operation. Even though the Israeli air-force carried out airstrikes in and around Tehran, it is clear that these were supported by the U.S. military. As such, the U.S. is complicit in the murder of the Head of State of a sovereign nation.

If this military action drags out inconclusively, then the mid-terms may prove catastrophic for Trump.

🇮🇷 The recent military escalation in the Middle East revealed a strategic miscalculation on the part of Washington and Tel Aviv. By launching a direct offensive against Iran, authorities in the United States and Israel apparently assumed that Tehran would repeat the pattern observed in previous confrontations: initial restraint, calibrated retaliation, and delayed timing. This pattern was evident both during the so-called Twelve-Day War and in earlier episodes of Israeli aggression against Iranian targets and regional allies. This time, however, the calculation proved mistaken.

The Islamic Republic shows it has learned from past decision-making mistakes.
