All right, Alexander, let's talk about what is happening in the war in Iran.

The Trump administration still cannot get its objectives clear.

We can't get its messaging sorted out.

It's not, at least my sense of things, is that it's not doing particularly well in this war. And Iran continues to

fight on. Yes. And that is the problem that Trump has. He was hoping for a quick victory,

a quick regime change, and instead he is getting bombed down in Iran.

And we had, we had an incident where a K, a KC-135,

and the US media, Bloomberg included, they're blaming it all on Russia. What's going on with

this war? That Trump is now labeling an excursion, Alexander, it's an excursion. It's not an

operation or a war anymore, which is terrible messaging. It is terrible messaging. It is

becoming an extended war of attrition, which is exactly what we on the Duran and others,

it must be said, warned that it would be. We pointed out many times

in many programs that in order for there to be a swift war, there needed to be a political

collapse in Iran. There is no sign of a political collapse in Iran. Israeli intelligence officials are

apparently, well, have said to the Guardian newspaper in London that they see no sign of an imminent

collapse in the political system in Iran. Apparently the US intelligence community is saying the same. All the evidence

is that the political system in Iran is solidifying and consolidating. So the result is a war of

attrition, which you absolutely correctly said. It means that the United States, the administration,

is now bogged down in a long war with all of the enormous economic repercussions
