Larry Johnson & Col. Wilkerson: Iran FIRES MISSILES at US Destroyers – US Ships FLEE to Indian Ocean

Iran reportedly targeted two US destroyers with suicide drones and anti-ship missiles, forcing them to retreat from the Persian Gulf to the Sea of Oman. This incident, initially denied by CENTCOM, was later supported by Iranian video evidence. This action is framed as a deliberate demonstration of Iran's resolve and a message to the United States.

for the third time it seems that it was reported that the two American destroyers tried to enter the Persian Gulf without Iran's permission... Iranian navy said they announced that it targeted vessels with suicide drones and anti-ship missiles and forcing them to return back to the sea of Oman.

Iran's potential pursuit of a nuclear weapon is primarily driven by the need to deter Israel, not the United States. Analysts suggest that Israel's aggressive actions and its role as the "real problem in the region" provide Iran with a strong strategic rationale to develop a nuclear deterrent, similar to North Korea's strategy against the US.

it's not necessarily the United States Iran is trying to deter... it's Israel... Do they really have the strategic rationale to get a nuclear weapon and to demonstrate that they have a nuclear weapon? It's not the United States they're trying to deter. They've deterred us... It's Israel.

For the first time in 47 years, Iran directly threatened Israel, stating that if Israel attacks Lebanon, Iran will retaliate against northern Israel. This marks a significant game-changer, indicating Iran's increased confidence in its ability to deliver on such threats and highlighting the escalation of the Israel-Lebanon conflict.

This is the first time you see Iran coming out and saying to Israel, 'If you attack Lebanon, we're going to do the same to the northern part of Israel.'" and "at no time in that 47-year history until now did Iran directly speak up and say, 'Okay, if if you don't stop attacking, we're going to attack you.' And and so that that that's a game-changer, I think.

The US is criticized for its hypocritical foreign policy, particularly in the Middle East, where it has historically supported dictators, overthrown democratically elected governments (like in Iran), and demonized former allies (e.g., Saddam Hussein, Manuel Noriega) when they no longer served US interests. This pattern of interventionism and lack of self-reflection is identified as the root cause of many global problems.

The United States is fundamentally pissed off at the Iranian the Iranians who rose up and overthrew a CIA-installed regime. That's it... We did it to Manuel Noriega, we did it to Muammar Gaddafi, did it to Saddam Hussein. We've been trying to do it to Iran... at some point the United States needs to look in the mirror and say, 'You know what? The problem's not out there, the problem's here.' We're the problem.

A new US legislative provision, Section 224, aims to merge US and Israeli military operations, effectively transferring oversight of military aid from the State Department to the Pentagon. This move, allegedly influenced by Netanyahu, is seen as a way to bypass political-military policy considerations, increase military spending, and primarily benefit defense contractors like Lockheed Martin, rather than genuinely improving security or technology.

Mr. Netanyahu actually wrote to a member of Congress to put this section 224 into the bill... What this is is giving similar authorities to DOD over things that have been throughout the bureaucracy... There'll be no oversight other than DOD. Oh, and guess who else will be overseeing it? Lockheed Martin, RTX, Grumman, Boeing and a host of other bandits.
