Victor Davis Hanson: The Optimistic, the Realistic, and the Pessimistic Scenarios for Iran With the Israel-Iran war stretching into its second week, commentators from all sides of the political arena have been delivering their optimistic, pessimistic, and realistic opinions on the conflict. Here are the facts: The war is going in Israel's favor. There’s a 50-50 chance of regime change, but only a 25% chance the new leaders will be better than Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The Trump administration might have to intervene but is holding back because it thinks Israel will find a creative way to destroy Iran's underground nuclear facilities on its own, surmises Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

US-ISRAEL WAR ON IRAN: The UAE’s🇦🇪 ‘years of planning for such a scenario’ prepared it for this crisis ‘The UAE’s air defence system is not only THAAD, it’s a combination of a number of air defence systems, including one that is built here in the UAE. We have recently heard the White House spokesperson specifically say that the attack that has happened on the US Consulate was defended with missiles produced here in the UAE. So that is something that has been in the making for years, and it just happened to happen that we used them today. We hoped that we would never do that. What got me surprised, really, is how nonchalant it feels here. All of these attacks, the number of missiles and drones that have been targeted at the UAE, that is actually more than all of the missiles that went to all of the other countries Iran has targeted. Yet we can drive outside, we go to the mall, we go to restaurants, we go to the mosque for prayer. We need to credit the first responders, the way they have been conducting themselves. Fires have been extinguished at a very high speed. People’s lives are being facilitated and eased up. Tourists who’ve been stranded here in Dubai have got their bill for their hotel extensions picked up by the UAE government, and those corridors are now being opened slowly to allow those stranded to go back home. It’s an amazement of how work of years and years of planning has now come out useful whenever it was needed.’ -Mohammed Baharoon, Director General of the Dubai Public Policy Research Center joins us on Monday’s Going Underground to discuss the UAE’s navigation of the regional crisis Don’t miss it, follow us on X to watch the full interview on Monday, or follow our Rumble 🏴‍☠️ channel, link below in the replies👇

🚨 NUCLEAR WARNING 🚨 IRAN JUST TOLD THE U.S. IT HAS ENOUGH URANIUM FOR 11 NUCLEAR BOMBS. AND NOBODY KNOWS WHERE THEY ARE. U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff just confirmed: Iran told American officials it possesses enough enriched uranium for approximately 11 nuclear weapons. That's not a typo. ELEVEN. 💀 450 kg of 60%-enriched uranium → CONFIRMED 💀 Convertible to weapons grade "within WEEKS" 💀 Satellite images show NEW excavation activity at Isfahan → Iran may be trying to RECOVER uranium from the bombed site 💀 The U.S. can't confirm whether Iran already MOVED the stockpile before strikes began 💀 Iran may DESTROY the material before U.S. forces can reach it → making verification IMPOSSIBLE ⚠️ Trump confirmed Iran was "2 weeks away" from a weapon BEFORE the war started ⚠️ The war has now been going for 10 DAYS ⚠️ That means the clock may have ALREADY run out ⚠️ U.S. and Israel discussing sending SPECIAL FORCES to seize or dilute the uranium ⚠️ "Doomsday" E-6B nuclear command planes already DEPLOYED to the Middle East They're showing you oil prices and destroyed warships. They're NOT showing you that 11 nuclear bombs' worth of enriched uranium is somewhere inside Iran and NOBODY knows exactly where. Here's the nightmare scenario nobody is talking about: → Iran has the uranium → The U.S. bombed the known storage sites → Iran may have MOVED it before the strikes → If it's underground or dispersed, air strikes CAN'T reach it → Ground troops would need to enter the MOST fortified country in the Middle East → With hundreds of thousands of armed IRGC fighters waiting → While $20,000 drones bleed the defense budget dry The last time the U.S. sent special forces into Iran → Operation Eagle Claw, 1980 → 8 Americans died. Zero objectives achieved. TOTAL FAILURE. Now they want to do it again. To find uranium that may have already been moved. In a country with a new radical Supreme Leader. While the military is stretched across 6 fronts. 11 bombs. Location UNKNOWN. And the clock is still ticking. Prepare accordingly. 🚨🚨🚨 This won't stay on your feed long. Follow + RT NOW. ⚠️

#Syria: #DuraEuropos offers a spectacular and unique testimony to the collision between 2 Empires in the mid-3rd century. Dura's final moments 👇 The site is located in the N. Abukemal countryside and overlooks the #Euphrates Valley. The Romans had chosen the town to establish their Eastern military HQ as a forward position against the rival Persian Empire. The Roman commander's Palace offered a commanding, breathtaking view over the Euphrates Valley and the lands beyond. The Romans had prior Intelligence the Persians planned to take the town and began work to fortify it. Both sides were experts in urban siege. Dura was already impregnable on 3 sides: 2 overlooked a wadi and the 3rd was built atop a cliff over 40 m high. As a result, only the Western side, opening onto a plateau and the desert, was vulnerable to an assault. Thus, the Romans significantly reinforced the Western urban section with: - an outer mudbrick glacis abutting the rampart to withstand Persian artillery - the demolition of the Roman tower-tombs outside the city, to prevent the Persians from using them as watchtowers - the sacrifice of the entire first row of urban buildings (including the famous Synagogue) to erect a massive earth bank granting quick access to the wall walk. Both the outer glacis and the inner earth berm were also designed to support the rampart on both sides and prevent it from collapsing once the Persian mines began. In 256, the Persian army, led by King Shapur I, began to move to take the town. The King, who mobilized a sizable army, laid siege to the town, blocking the Western side. The Persians first tried conventional tactics, launching assaults on the main gate (see 0:02-0:10), but all attempts to enter the town were defeated by the Romans. Then the Persians began digging mines under the rampart, aiming to make it collapse. But, as seen, the Romans had prepared for this scenario: although the foundations of both the rampart and several towers were damaged by the mines, the double (outer and inner) protection built by the Romans held and prevented the rampart from collapsing. While the rampart cracked (see 0:14) and sank several meters, no breach was created. The Persians also used mines to try to directly enter the town, but the Romans detected them and built their own counter-mines, killing the enemy soldiers in underground battles. As an anecdote, the skeleton of a Persian soldier was found during archaeological excavations conducted in the 20th century. He was buried in a collapsed mine, still wearing his chainmail, along with Roman coins he stole while passing through a tomb during the mining operation. Dura also offers the first documented use in History of the principles of chemical warfare: remains of sulfur dioxide and fire accelerants were found - along with bodies - in some mines, believed to have been used to spread toxic fumes and kill soldiers. After all attempts to break into the town failed, the Persians had no other choice but to begin one of the greatest siege works in History (only surpassed by Masada): the construction of a massive assault ramp, aiming to surpass the height of the rampart (8–9 m). It's believed the Persians forced residents of nearby villages who didn't take shelter in Dura to build it, as the Romans heavily targeted them with artillery and arrows, killing scores. But the construction of the ramp went ahead and the Romans used the Persian technique against them: they dug 2 tunnels from inside the town and mined the assault ramp, causing parts of it to collapse. Yet the Persians had time and manpower on their side and the assault ramp was eventually completed, allowing them to storm the town. The last Roman soldiers of the garrison retreated to the citadel (seen at 1:14), where they resisted until the end. The population of Dura was then deported to the Persian Empire and the town was abandoned, which allowed for an exceptional state of preservation, with some of the most stunning discoveries for this period: papyri, clothes and wall paintings - all preserved thanks to the dry climate. The precise timing of Dura's fall isn't known, but it's believed to have taken about one year. The stubborn resistance of the Roman garrison significantly delayed Shapur I from moving further West, which would culminate with the capture of Antioch in 260, at a time when the Roman Empire faced an acute crisis.

🚨Why Russia launched “Special Military Operation” I publicly announced the reasons for and the main goal of Russia’s actions. It is to help our people in Donbass, who have been subjected to real genocide for nearly eight years in the most barbarous ways, that is, through blockade, large-scale punitive operations, terrorist attacks and constant artillery raids. Their only guilt was that they demanded basic human rights: to live according to their forefathers’ laws and traditions, to speak their native language, and to bring up their children as they want. During these years, the Kiev authorities have ignored and sabotaged the implementation of the Minsk Package of Measures for a peaceful settlement of the crisis and ultimately late last year openly refused to implement it. They also started to implement plans to join NATO. Moreover, the Kiev authorities also announced their intention to have nuclear weapons and delivery vehicles. This was a real threat. With foreign technical support, the pro-Nazi Kiev regime would have obtained weapons of mass destruction in the foreseeable future and, of course, would have targeted them against Russia. There was a network of dozens of laboratories in Ukraine, where military biological programmes were conducted under the guidance and with the financial support of the Pentagon, including experiments with coronavirus strains, anthrax, cholera, African swine fever and other deadly diseases. Frantic attempts are being made to conceal traces of these secret programmes. However, we have grounds to assume that components of biological weapons were being created in direct proximity to Russia on the territory of Ukraine. Our numerous warnings that such developments posed a direct threat to the security of Russia were rejected with open and cynical arrogance by Ukraine and its US and NATO patrons. In other words, all our diplomatic efforts were fully in vain. We have been left with no peaceful alternative to settle the problems that developed through no fault of ours. In this situation, we were forced to begin this special military operation. The movement of Russian forces against Kiev and other Ukrainian cities is not connected with a desire to occupy that country. This is not our goal, as I pointed out openly in my statement on February 24. As for the combat tactics drafted by the Defence Ministry of Russia and the General Staff, this has fully justified itself. Our fellows – soldiers and officers – are displaying courage and heroism and are doing all they can to avoid civilian losses in Ukrainian cities. This is what I would like to say for the first time: at the very start of the operation in Donbass, the Kiev authorities were offered opportunities to avoid hostilities, via different channels, to simply withdraw their troops from Donbass as an alternative to bloodshed. They did not want to do this. Well, this was their decision; now they will understand what is happening in reality, on the ground. The operation is being carried out successfully, in strict conformity with the approved plan. I must note that, encouraged by the United States and other Western countries, Ukraine was purposefully preparing for a scenario of force, a massacre and an ethnic cleansing in Donbass. A massive onslaught on Donbass and later Crimea was just a matter of time. However, our Armed Forces have shattered these plans. Kiev was not just preparing for war, for aggression against Russia – it was conducting it. There were endless attempts to stage acts of subversion and organise a terrorist underground in Crimea. Hostilities in Donbass and the shelling of peaceful residential areas have continued all these years. Almost 14,000 civilians, including children have been killed over this time. As you know, there was a missile strike at the centre of Donetsk on March 14. This was an overt bloody act of terror that took over 20 lives. Shelling has been ongoing during the past few days. They are striking randomly at squares with the fervor of fanatics and the exasperation of the doomed. They are acting like the Nazis did when they tried to drag as many innocent victims as they could to their graves. But what is shocking in its extreme cynicism is not just Kiev’s blatant lies and statements that Russia allegedly launched this missile at Donetsk (they have gone as far as this), but the attitude of the so-called civilised world. The European and American press did not even notice this tragedy in Donetsk, as if nothing happened. This is how they have been hypocritically looking the other way over the past eight years as mothers buried their children in Donbass, as elderly people were killed. This is simply moral degradation, complete de-humanisation. It was no longer possible to tolerate this outrageous attitude towards the people of Donbass. To put an end to this genocide, Russia recognized the people’s republics of Donbass and signed treaties of friendship and mutual aid with them. Based on these treaties, the republics appealed to Russia for military aid in rebuffing the aggression. We rendered this aid because we simply could not do otherwise. We had no right to act otherwise. I would like to emphasise this point and draw your attention to it: if our troops had acted only within the people's republics and helped them liberate their territory, it would not have been a final solution, it would not have led to peace and would not have ultimately removed the threat – to our country, this time to Russia. On the contrary, a new frontline would have been extended around Donbass and its borders, and shelling and provocations would have continued. In other words, this armed conflict would have continued indefinitely. It would have been fuelled by the revanchist hysteria of the Kiev regime, as NATO deployed its military infrastructure faster and more aggressively. In this case, we would have been faced with the fact that the attack, the offensive weapons of the alliance were already at our borders. I will repeat – we had no alternative for self-defence, for ensuring Russia's security, to this special military operation. We will reach the goals we set. We will certainly ensure the security of Russia and our people and will never allow Ukraine to be a bridgehead for aggressive actions against our country.
