I disagree with Alexander Mercouris assessment, “that their will be an attack on Iran in the next few weeks, or few days, or possibly hours”, as Israel got absolutely hammered in ‘Twelve-Day War with Iran, with Iranian Hypersonic missiles, and their ‘Iron Dome was shown to the world for what it really was, which is a Swiss Cheese, as it was totally worthless against the Iranian Ballistic, and especially Hypersonic missiles.
Iran has a very good reason to not seek financial aid from its BRICS “Allies”, especially after the Iran–Israel war of 2025, as these so called allies, showed their true colours during the ‘Twelve-Day War, with Vladimir Putin declaring that ‘Israel is almost a Russian-speaking country‘, and China is by far the biggest exporter of goods to Israel, in the entire world, as both Russia and China are on the side of Israel, and the Iranians know it.
Nonetheless, the Lying Press (CNN, BBC, Euronews, The Guardian….) are all cheerleading for a war with Iran, and even my own national broadcaster RTÉ, ran with this bogus headline today on their website — ‘More than 500 people dead from Iran protests, rights group says’ source: AFP/Reuters.
It is totally understandable why Germany was not able to repair their own substations. Where do you think Ukraine has been getting all the transformers and other equipment they need to repair their substations?
Germany appears to have drained their stores of utility stockpiles the same as they drained their military stockpiles to the point where they can neither repair their own electric grid or to defend themselves in the case of war.
