BRIAN BERLETIC—The US has burned through huge quantities of high-end weapons on Iran it had been stockpiling for war it sought to provoke with China in the Asia-Pacific;
The US not only likely never had enough weapons for a war with China, but it will be unable to even replace what it has spent on Iran for years to come;
The US war on Iran is thus likely an attempt to reduce or remove 2 obstacles to US primacy with one war, degrading or toppling Iran and the imposition of a global maritime oil blockade on China at its source (US capture of Venezuela, US strikes on Russian energy production, and now the incremental shutdown of energy exports from the Middle East);
The US likely hopes it can emerge from the global economic crisis it is creating “stronger” relative to China.

BRIAN BERLETIC—The US has been working towards this war on Iran throughout the entire 21st century spanning multiple presidential administrations;
The region was reshaped by US invasions and the arming of extremists under Bush, the “Arab Spring,” the “Iran Nuclear Deal,” and subsequent additional wars under Obama, the collapse of Syria under Biden, and launching direct war with Iran under Trump;
The war on Iran constitutes multiple phases of economic, political, covert, and direct military aggression hoping to collapse it just as Iraq was over the course of the 1990s and early 2000s.

BB—In January of 2011, we were told that “spontaneous,” “indigenous” uprising had begun sweeping North Africa and the Middle East in what was hailed as the “Arab Spring.” It would be almost four months before the corporate-media would admit that the US had been behind the uprisings and that they were anything but “spontaneous,” or “indigenous.”

NEW ATLAS—The video provides an in-depth analysis of the ongoing US war of aggression against Iran, placing it within a broader geopolitical framework that extends beyond the immediate Middle East conflict. The narrator, located in Southeast Asia, marks the conflict’s 11th day and draws parallels to a similar US campaign against Iran launched approximately one year prior. The video argues that the current conflict is part of a long-planned strategy by the United States to destabilize and isolate Iran, using proxy forces and regional allies such as Israel, the Gulf states, Jordan, and Turkey. This strategy, the narrator contends, is a continuation of decades-long US efforts beginning with the Arab Spring and is aimed at controlling the Middle East’s vast oil resources while cutting off China’s critical energy supplies.

BL—Iran’s mosaic defense strategy continues to enable regional long-range missile and drone strikes on US and proxy military and now economic infrastructure;
Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz also indicates that initial US decapitation strikes have failed to disrupt well-prepared mosaic defense operations;
The US is now bombing internal security facilities in Iran hoping to shape the ground ahead of US-backed terrorism inside Iran aimed at toppling the Iranian government. However, Iran also has organized internal security against this threat into a mosaic defense strategy, only time will tell if it will overcome US plans in the hours, days, and weeks ahead.

China is not intervening in the US war on Iran for realistic logistical and military limitations and has, instead, supported Iran in a number of other important and more effective ways economically, industrially, and in terms of military support.
