No, the Pentagon Is Not Winning; It Is Lying Its Way Out of Iran
Every Pentagon briefing on the Iran war insults basic math: a fabricated casus belli, a fake $29B bill, impossible equipment denials, a retreat sold as a deal.

Every Pentagon briefing on the Iran war insults basic math: a fabricated casus belli, a fake $29B bill, impossible equipment denials, a retreat sold as a deal.
Six months into the Iran war there is no victory: Shock and Awe died, Hormuz closed, oil hit $110, and the Pentagon only shifts goalposts while hunting an exit.
Regime change via foreign intervention backfires. The regime becomes a martyr. The vassal state culls moderates. The eventual revolution produces an enemy worse than the original.
The “rogue state” label is a sham. Iran is punished for nuclear opacity and lawlessness — Israel does the same with impunity. The rules apply to adversaries, not allies.
The 1953 CIA coup destroyed Iran’s democracy. The Shah eliminated moderates. Only Islamists survived to lead 1979. The US invented its own enemy.
