Col. Larry Wilkerson: US & Iran NOW in Direct GROUND WAR – Air Strikes Hit DEVASTATING All-Time Peak

Colonel Wilkerson claims a recent U.S. special operations raid in Iran, involving C-130 aircraft, Blackhawks, and F-15s, was a 'colossal tactical defeat' and failed. He states that the administration is hiding this disaster, which he believes resulted in lost aircraft and troops, drawing parallels to the failed 'Operation Eagle Claw' in 1980. The official narrative of planes getting stuck in wet sand is dismissed as implausible given the robustness of C-130s and the expected intelligence gathering for landing zones.

Wilkerson describes the operation featuring multiple C-130 aircraft, Blackhawks, F-15s, and 'little birds' (helicopters), characteristic of Delta or Seal Team 6 operations. He cites Larry Johnson and others parsing the event, suggesting 'quite a few aircraft' and 'some troops' were lost. He directly refutes the 'stuck in the sand' explanation, stating, 'that was lousy intelligence if you landed in some place where you suck in the sand.'

Wilkerson interprets Donald Trump's ultimatum that 'a whole civilization will die tonight' and his mention of unused 'tools' as a clear threat of genocide, potentially involving nuclear weapons. He argues that conventional means could not 'eradicate' a people, implying nuclear use as the only way to achieve such a stated goal. This rhetoric, combined with the U.S.'s perceived role in the 'genocide in Gaza,' raises alarms about a second, potentially nuclear, genocide.

Trump's quote 'a whole civilization will die tonight' (00:39) and reference to 'tools that haven't been used so far' (10:52). Wilkerson states, 'He announced that he was going to commit a genocide. It's that clear. It's it's that plain. He's going to He says he's going to eradicate a people. Well, it's not too far from that statement if you think he's serious to use of nuclear weapons because he isn't going to eradicate them with conventional means.' (11:57)

Colonel Wilkerson declares NATO 'done' and 'toast,' asserting that the alliance is no longer functional beyond superficial meetings in Brussels. He predicts that upcoming elections in key European nations like Germany, France, and Britain will solidify this disestablishment. He suggests that Germany, in particular, will inevitably pivot its foreign and security policy, and its economy, towards Moscow, marking a significant geopolitical realignment.

Wilkerson states, 'Done. It's over. It's finished. Those people in Brussels are just sitting there with their stars on their shoulders having a gab fab and drinking ch eating chocolate and drinking coffee. That's that's all they're doing. NATO is done. It's toast. It's finished.' (50:09) He later adds, 'The key will be Germany, of course... There's only one answer to that question. It's in Moscow.' (52:34)

Wilkerson warns that if Iran targets critical oil facilities in the region, such as Kharg Island or those in Saudi Arabia (e.g., Ras Tanura), it would lead to a global recession or even depression. This would cause oil prices to skyrocket, insurers to refuse coverage, and shippers to halt operations, dramatically increasing commodity costs worldwide. He notes that Russia and the U.S. might believe they can weather such a crisis due to their oil reserves, but the rest of the world, especially Europe, would suffer immensely.

Discussing an attack on Kharg Island, Wilkerson asks, 'to what end and to what purpose?' (26:45) He later elaborates, 'If Iran goes to Rstanura and further into Saudi Arabia and really destroys exquisite petroleum production facilities and refineries... then we have a global recession for sure and maybe a global depression.' (43:42) He cites a 2009 exercise predicting '$200 a barrel for West Texas Intermediate' and 'Insurers wouldn't insure, shippers wouldn't ship.' (43:25)
