Top Podcasts on Iran's Military Collapse

“Israel claims that in the June war of last year, it eliminated about half of Iran, what it believes Iran stockpiles, but also batteries, launchers, basically the capability. So if you, whatever it was, let's say they have half of that left. I've seen statistics saying that really they can't go at this rate, Iran, for more than two to three weeks before they're completely depleted.”

“The upside here would be that you get a decapitation of the regime that causes the regime to collapse. That is clearly what the great hope has been... The downside is this is a highly institutionalized regime. This is not a single dictator... it's very hard to do regime change from the air.”

“The missile campaign, again, as a result of Iranian launches and Israeli-U.S. strikes, has been successful at destroying any fixed launcher, but also finding what they call the TELs, the transporter erector launcher, vehicles that would actually carry ballistic missiles. But that's an ongoing campaign, and it's quite reasonable to suspect that Iran is husbanding some ballistic missiles. They launched a lot at the outset of the war, and then you see a fall off because of the success of the air campaign, but also because of Iran's desire strategically to keep some of those ballistic missiles and their TELs in reserve so that they can be launched to lengthen the war, to draw out the war, and for Israel and the United States never to be sure that we been able to destroy all of their ballistic missiles.”

“The United States military has done a tremendous job at achieving that objective thus far. Just six days in, the retaliatory ballistic missile strikes from Iran are now down 90 percent. Of course, assuring Iran can never obtain a nuclear weapon as well and significantly weakening their proxies in the region, which we know are responsible for the deaths of Americans.”

“You know, I just want to clarify, some people in the comments don't seem to be able to walk this line that the Iranian regime, the regime itself is bad. It's very, very bad, full of extreme people who repress their citizenry. The Iranian citizens, they are good. They are people who, for the most part, want to be free, want to be liberated, want to have a democratic society. The regime is the one that we have the beef with.”

“Whether they say it themselves or not, frankly, they don't have a lot of people to say that for them because the United States and the state of Israel have completely wiped out more than 50 leaders of the former terrorist regime, including the Supreme Leader himself. So, folks, things are getting absolutely, absolutely spiraling out of control right now in the region.”

“It could end tomorrow, but it seems to me where Israel is going with this at the moment is trying to, and the U.S. to a certain extent as well, is trying to attrit or, if you don't like that term, destroy Iran's military capacity as much as possible in the days or weeks left of this campaign. So on the outside chance, there's still the possibility that all this pressure from the air, from air and missile strikes, will force the regime to collapse on itself.”

“One thing that I think is important in that story you just laid out is also there been a learning about Iran that has been successive. So America pulled out of the nuclear deal, added the maximum pressure sanctions. Iran wasn't able to do very much about that. There was the assassination of Soleimani. There was no significant reprisal for that. You saw Israel decapitate Hezbollah. You saw the bombing of the Iranian nuclear sites.”

“"The Iranian regime is being absolutely crushed. Their ballistic missile retaliation is decreasing every day. Their Navy is being wiped out. Their production capacity is being demolished. And the proxies are hardly putting up a fight. That's Trump regime propaganda right there. because we know and we've been reporting on the fact that Iran is still sending its Shahid drones and ballistic missiles to attack neighboring countries."”

“"I do not believe for a second that the missile threat has been negated either in Lebanon or in Iran, nor, by the way, do I believe they have fully degraded Hamas's capabilities in Gaza. And now you're seeing this kind of pincer movement happening. Also be watching for the Houthis. The Houthis have been keeping their powder dry because they are ready to deploy their hypersonic weapons targeting Israel."”
