I welcome Ben and Ben Talib,

who senior fellow for the Foundation for the Defense of Democracy,

writing at Long War Journal looking very carefully

at how Iran has reacted to the Israeli strike of these last days against its air defenses,

but also against its confidence in itself, a blow to the Iranian vision of the world and a vision of the world in which it believes

it has the right, the duty, the obligation, the election to destroy the whole neighborhood everybody all around it all the time

Then I'm a very good evening to you. I recall it from my youth once upon upon a time, 1980, the Carter regime attempted a daring special operations

called Desert Wanna to rescue the hostages television at ABC, I believe, that the news would be gloomy all year long.

The rescue was in springtime as I recall, and one morning there was the news everywhere that it had failed.

What I recall afterwards and it's an indistinct memory is that the Ayatollah, the original

one, not the substitute who's raining ever since the original

one died.

The original one made a metaphorical response, sort of like Allah's radar, or Allah's magic brought down that helicopter and crashed

so the desert one failed.

I always puzzled about that because it seems so medieval.

And now I read in your article that there are similar remarks by the regime after the raid that

stripped it of air defenses and turned it into not a regime. raid that or this one the false promises of the Zionist you know these bold remarks I guess to

make themselves feel better is this the same regime that it was in 1980 when Desert One failed?

Is there any change at all?
