Wonderful that we back Iran against the US/ZIM/130 Jewish Billionaires and millions of Jewish Millionaires, but . . .

Iran is going , going, almost gone, gone, gone and now an add-on for the Jews' New Levant.

The Kremlin Editorial for Iran is Surrender or Die

ran will be able to do little against Israeli and American aircraft – modern air defence systems are almost useless against US and Israeli strike aircraft. Iran may be able to use fighters, but only where they can hide in the folds of the terrain when flying to the area of combat operation. In small quantities, with a low chance of success and the highest risk of loss. And even if Iran shoots down a number of enemy aircraft, it will not affect the course of hostilities.

And, of course, one should not take into account fantasies about how Iranian drones or submarines will hit an American aircraft carrier – such antics against the US Navy are useless and will lead to nothing but losses. The Iranians fought the Americans at sea in 1988 and were butchered by ridiculously small American forces. Iranian ships should stay away from US ships.

Iran’s weakness is also the quality of its force management – all decisions are made and agreed upon in advance, and the security forces themselves are prone to simple and predictable actions. Iran can only dream of a western approach to military management, when any problem that suddenly arises is not hidden, but immediately voiced and begins to be solved. All this, however, does not mean that Iran has absolutely nothing to put on the table.

The Islamic Republic’s first strong point is its missile arsenal.

No matter how effective American ships are as a means of air defence, you can either overwhelm them with a swarm of missiles, or take other measures to make missile defence difficult. In addition to ballistic missiles, Iran also has a number of cruise missiles.

The second advantage is motivated personnel willing to sacrifice themselves. They will be able to recruit volunteers for dangerous missions, and for suicidal ones too, mainly through the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Iran has an army organized and trained not like the religious soldiers from the IRGC, but according to western methods. And this army has well-trained special forces, including combat swimmers, who can be used to sabotage enemy targets.

Iran has land-based anti-ship missile installations. Finally, Iran still has a number of “proxies” in Iraq. And there is a land connection with them across the Iranian border. These resources immediately hint at what the response might be.

The first is massive missile strikes on American bases. Iran openly declares its readiness for them. To do this, Iran needs to get as many missiles out of harm’s way in advance, disperse them and disguise them so that they cannot be destroyed by multiple air strikes. Then attack all available American bases, using missiles in such quantities that the Americans will not be able to shoot them down.

Secondly, the attacks of the Shaheds must be synchronized with missile strikes. The opponent must be faced with the choice of which strike to tackle.

The third is sabotage on enemy territory, in neighbouring countries. They may be small in scale, but they will force the enemy to strain and waste energy on countering.

Fourth, Iran should start laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, blocking oil supplies to the world market and inflating prices. This will make the American operation extremely toxic for all oil consumers in the world and create serious pressure on the United States. Despite the fact that the collapse of the global energy market may even be beneficial to American [oil producers], but politically the [Trump Administration] may not be able to withstand the pressure of oil consumers. Iran has hundreds of small high-speed boats as part of the IRGC naval forces, their crews are trained to lay sea mines, and Iran has a lot of these mines.

The mining will cost Iran dearly in terms of casualties. But here, personnel motivated to self-sacrifice will speak out—no matter how many mine-laden motorboats sink, more must return to sea.

A mine war will require the United States to take mine clearance measures. The Iranians will be able to attack the forces that will carry this out, drawing the US into battles on their own terms and forcing ships to go where Iran can use anti-ship missiles from the shore. If the strait is blocked, Iranian mini-submarines will be able to cross the Persian Gulf, ensuring the actions of saboteurs and also covertly laying mines.

It might even be possible to launch a drone carrier disguised as a merchant ship, complete with a special forces unit, and test the strength of the Diego Garcia base once military action begins. Here again, personnel prepared to sacrifice themselves could prove useful.
