Iranians Only Getting Tougher

Alastair Crooke has deep and decades-long personal experience with negotiations in West Asia, and his views on current events are are the most definitive I can find. The interview begins with a Trump post featuring some ravings showing his lack of connection to reality, and proceeds to prove this with Col. Davis asking Alastair about the reality of everything Trump said in his crazy post. Iran has control over Hormuz. The Iranian people are completely unified around their leadership at this point. They will never surrender.

Meanwhile, the global economic consequences of the war are being felt and rapidly getting worse. In just a few weeks it will be so bad that it will be impossible for these crazy policies to be maintained. We are talking about piracy against every other country on the high seas. Iran is winning hands down, supported by the rest of the world, but if it wins and gets everything it is demanding in its ten point proposal, it will be a world power, like Russia, China and the United States, and a cornerstone of the new socialist and human international order that has evolved to succeed the degenerate economy of finance capitalism.
