While the usual suspects on BP are busy with their anti-Pakistan comments, the Iran war continues–which is far more important globally than Pakistan/India back and forth is.
The inordinate focus on Pakistan on this forum is quite something and deserves a deeper psychological explanation.
UnHerd’s Freddie Sayers speaks with Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago, Robert Pape, to discuss the high-stakes ‘escalation trap’ unfolding between the United States and Iran – breaking down the tactical successes and failures of the US military campaign and analysing how Iran is leveraging its geographical position and control of the Strait of Hormuz through low-cost drone and missile harassment. As Professor Pape draws comparisons to the Vietnam War and 1973 oil crisis, has the Trump administration lost control of the conflict’s trajectory, and are we moving toward a dangerous ground power dilemma that threatens the global economy and the stability of the Western alliance?
As long as the IRGC remains intact, Iran is winning the war on all strategic fronts. It is in a position to dictate any post war arrangment which mainly includes the reversal of all US bases from the GCC.
In order to wrest back any control, it is now important for the US and Israel to change the calculus by getting other GCC countries involved in the war on their side so both of them can slowly withdraw. This way Israeli goal of weakening all its neighbours succeeds through war succeeds..
Yes that’s why they are attacking Pars Gas field; they are getting desperate.
This has been a badly thought of war; the PGCC (Persian Gulf Cooperation Council) can resolve things on its own without external influence.
Well it looks very likely likely that Iran will persevere
