Following at a closed door session with MPs, national security committee chairman Heshmatollah Falahatpisheh told state media that analysts are not expecting a war with the United States, despite recent US buildups in the area.
Falashatpisheh was told by the commander of the Revolutionary Guard that the US is looking for a “psychological war,” and that the US has started this, but that they don’t expect a military conflict.
That commander, Gen. Hossein Salami, dismissed the idea of the US
attacking, saying that a US military attack was all but impossible at
the moment, and that recent deployments didn’t amount to a real threat.
The commander emphasized Iran’s defensive preparations, saying they were
fully prepared if the Americans “make a move” against them. He added
that the presence of more US ships in the immediate vicinity, if
anything, would increase Iran’s ability to retaliate to an American
attack.
With the recent attacks on Fujairah and Yanbu, I’m waiting to see who they blame them on. Besides, attacking Iran and winning a war are two different things.
It seems to me that the goal of American foreign policy is to start wars, not to finish them.
Very smart. The American Empire has become a glorified troll army. The best thing to do is nothing. Let them make the first, second and third move. On the fourth, wipe them out on the high ground with a guerrilla ambush.
Rouhani made fun of the Trump administration for delivering 5,000 hostages on the Abraham Lincoln. Aircraft carriers close in are sitting ducks for Iran’s cruise missiles. ;
That was the perfect burn. And people say Muslims have know sense of humor.
