Col. Lawrence Wilkerson: 'Iran's ULTIMATE LEVERAGE is its nuclear programme, any ground campaign by Trump to destroy it would be DISASTROUS.' 'The reason Iran has strategic headway over anything Donald Trump does is twofold. Ultimately, it’s the nuclear programme and the Strait of Hormuz. The Omani foreign minister categorically...

☢️Col. Lawrence Wilkerson: ‘IRAN HAS ALREADY WON…if they want nuclear weapons, they will make one.’ 'I think Iran is perched right now exactly where Haaretz said they were. All they have to do to win is not lose, and All the United States and Israel have to do is achieve a spectacular victory, and they aren't going to do that. So Iran’s already won. The question is, How much damage is Donald Trump and what’s left of the American military going to be done to in the interim? And How much damage is going to be done to that military, particularly its maritime elements? They have not unleashed anything significant yet on a US warship. They could and they might, and that's the end of that warship if they do. The carrier is holding off at least 1300 kilometres. Not just because of range. Because there are some missiles that can go that far. It's because the carrier is so capable of getting up to flight speed so fast that once it has a warning of a missile launch, it can itself defend fairly successfully without subsurface, surface, or airborne assets. If the carrier moves at the right moment, at the speed it's capable of achieving, it's going to be very hard to hit it in that terminal phase. But they would ultimately fail with a hypersonic missile. I take my experience from Kang Sok-Ju and Kye-Gwan in North Korea in October 2002, when we went to present them with an economic package the President and even the Vice President thought would be persuasive in getting them to back off their nuclear programme. Kye-Gwan looked right at us and said…we already have nuclear weapons. So I know how we were fooled by North Korea. I know North Korea in 2002 was working with Iran, not just on underground fortifications but also on nuclear weapons, how to match warhead to missile. So Ted, I think, is right. If the Iranians want a nuclear weapon, they'll make one.’ — Former Chief of Staff at the State Department, Col. Lawrence Wilkerson on the latest episode of New Order Watch the full interview in the quoted post below👇

#WATCH | On being asked about the West Asia conflict and where the Islamabad MoU stands right now, Senior Journalist, Political Commentator & Author, Fareed Zakaria says, "It's completely dead. It was predictable that it would be dead... Iran has figured out it has a usable nuclear weapon that can be used as leverage, which is control over the Strait of Hormuz...What we are trying to solve now is a problem created by the war itself, and even that has not been solved. In my opinion, the whole thing is a very humiliating defeat for the United States" "It's completely dead. And it was predictable that it would be dead because it is a memorandum of misunderstanding...Iran has figured out it has a usable nuclear weapon, in other words, a weapon that is actually more powerful because it can be used as leverage. That leverage is control over the Strait of Hormuz, and they want to assert that power...To give you an understanding of how poorly this war has gone for the United States, remember President Trump's original goal, which was to destroy the Iranian regime, have the people of Iran launch an uprising, and bring democracy to Iran. That didn't work. The goal number two became the nuclear issue...The desire to get the Iranians to hand over their enriched uranium, swear that they would never use it again, and permanently end the program none of that has happened. The third goal then became control of the Strait of Hormuz, which, of course, was open before the war. What we are trying to solve now is a problem created by the war itself, and even that has not been solved. In my opinion, the whole thing is a very humiliating defeat for the United States" Watch full interview here:

Military and political analyst Elijah Magnier says the clearest sign the U.S lost the Iran war is that nobody is talking about Tehran's nuclear program anymore; they're fighting over the Strait of Hormuz. America went into this focused on Iran's nuclear program, its ballistic missiles, and regional proxies. Now Trump is arguing about who gets to control Hormuz, and Elijah thinks that tells you everything about how badly the original strategy failed. Iran's missile programme is still operational, its nuclear programme has been pushed into future negotiations, and its regional proxies remain part of Tehran's strategic calculations. Yet Washington's attention is now almost entirely consumed by a source of Iranian leverage that barely existed before the war: Hormuz. Elijah says Iran has effectively pulled off a strategic sleight of hand. For years, the world obsessed over Tehran's nuclear programme while Iran quietly built an enormous missile arsenal. Those missiles eventually gave Iran the ability to absorb American and Israeli attacks and continue retaliating across the region. Now he thinks they're doing it again. Everyone is staring at the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, Iran is rebuilding missiles, maintaining its regional relationships, and buying time on the nuclear issue. Trump even briefly proposed charging ships a 20% fee to pass through the Strait. That lasted barely 24 hours before he replaced it with demands for massive Gulf investment in America. To Elijah, the whole episode exposed something much deeper. Washington says this is about freedom of navigation. But Trump accused Iran of monetizing Hormuz, then immediately tried to monetize it himself. Suddenly, the argument wasn't whether the Strait should be used as leverage; it was who gets to control it and collect the money, and Iran jumped on the contradiction immediately. Elijah's argument is that Trump has trapped himself. He entered the war determined to strip Iran of its leverage, but instead, he's handed Tehran a weapon it didn't have before. Elijah J. Magnier 🇪🇺
