It's an occupied country, Nima. The Americans, after the criminal Saddam Hussein, who at the behest, you know, with the encouragement of the West, invaded Iran. He used chemical weapons against the Iranian people. He then subsequently invaded Kuwait. Kuwait, which paid him hundreds of Well, I don't. Yeah, I think probably Kuwait and Saudi Arabia paid, just these two countries alone paid Saddam hundreds of billions of dollars to wage war against Iran. The others did so, too, but the major funding came from these two countries. So, Kuwait, which helped Saddam, I think Kuwait was tens of billions and Saudi Arabia a couple of hundred billion dollars. Kuwait, which helped Saddam so much, he invaded the country. And that gave the excuse for the Americans to occupy Kuwait. And since the occupation, it's become a protectorate. They have multiple bases there, and they have the bases, from what I'm told, are huge, and they have all sorts of equipment. It is. And so, the Iranians keep destroying, uh, different parts of the bases, but they're massive. And so, uh, Kuwait is a center for the United States, and, of course, Bahrain, too. All these regimes are complicit, but Kuwait in particular is where the Americans store huge quantities of, uh, equipment and, uh, ammunition and, uh, that sort of thing.
Yeah. The one of the. And HIMARS missiles are often fired from Kuwait, often into Khuzestan, into cities where you, your relatives live, your acquaintances live, where you go to, where you went to recently. That's there. There's, they struck from Kuwait.
Yeah, they're mostly focused. Looking at multiple cities were hit by these HIMARS in Khuzestan. I assume the United States is using those HIMARS, but in the southern, it's basically they're using fighter jets, but in the western, they're using HIMARS and these systems to hit the targets in the western part of Iran. And when you look at the Iranian targets, it seems Iran is so much focused on Kuwait. 70% of the attacks targets are in Kuwait, then Bahrain and Jordan. There was a single report yesterday that Iran hit, I mean, logistics in Saudi Arabia, but not that much of an attack on Saudi Arabia and UAE.
What does that mean?
Well, I, I, I can't say with certainty. I don't have details. I do know that Iran had some, uh, negotiations with Saudi Arabia, with the Emirates, with Qatar, which had some results. Uh, but then again, Iran has struck Qatar, Iran has struck Saudi Arabia. So, I, I think the calculations are complicated. But at the end of the day, when Saudi Arabia allows Americans to use their airspace and their bases to attack Iran, it's not going to. The Iranians are not going to be indifferent to that. So, the Iranians prioritize. Maybe it's because of, um, the negotiations that were more successful in some places and less in others, but I think it more has to do with the imminent threat to Iran. I think the bases in Jordan were a major threat. Uh, so the Iranians prioritized Jordan. Uh, and the same is true with, um, Kuwait and Bahrain because the US naval base in Bahrain is also massive. It's huge. Uh, and it also contains huge quantities of, um, American equipment and ammunition. So, um, so I think it's probably multiple issues. But I have no doubt that if the United States intensifies the war, if it escalates, if it starts striking bridges, and I mean, so far, the Iranians, ever since Trump made his threat that for every ship that they're going to strike a, um, a bridge or a power plant. So far, the Iranians have struck two, and the Americans have not responded. And since last night, the Americans have not been. They've gone quiet. Now, why? I don't know. That remains to be seen. But, um, they may carry out a massive operation, and they may not. I just don't know. But, um, I'm sure, I'm sure they'll. I know that messages are going back and, and I know that, uh, the messages that Americans have, obviously, said things through the delegations that have visited Iran. But, but of course, as the Iraqi Prime Minister's office said that the New York Times report was nonsense, but definitely messages do go back. Are going back. The Americans are pushing hard to have communications with Iran. But the problem is, of course, Trump's ego and the Zionists.
And they're fighting the war to the last interceptor. And it seems that there is no. The footage yesterday came out. There is no interceptor going to hit the Iranian missile that was supposed to hit that a target in Bahrain, for example. And you see the Patriot system trying to hit the missile, Iranian missile failed and hit the neighborhood instead of hitting the Iranian missile. There is no. I think what is obvious for us that are watching this footage and photos coming out of the region, it seems that the United States has depleted the air defense system. The air defense system is not working properly anymore. That is one of the problems with all these CC countries right now.
Well, you know, the Yemenis, they struck, as they said, with tens of missiles, you said tens of missiles and drones and cruise missiles. Well, where were the interceptors? How, why couldn't they down these things? So, they're in serious trouble. And then again, I remind you, and which I know you know, but we're, I'm just reminding you, you and myself, that the resistance in Iraq is pretty quiet, but they're prepared. I mean, they've been striking Kuwait in a limited fashion, but and American assets in Iraq. But they haven't started yet. And the Iraqis are much tougher than the Saudis, and the Yemenis are much tougher than the Saudis and the Emirates and the Kuwaitis. The rest of them, they're just, you know, they're their armed forces are a joke. It's just an empty shell.
Yeah. Do you see any sort of possibility if the case of Kuwait continuing with the same sort of policy, maybe Iraq doing the resistance in Iraq doing something in Kuwait?
Yes, I think it's possible that, you know, the Iraqis believe that Kuwait belongs to Iraq. And if the Iraqis take Kuwait, I have no doubt that the Iranians will support them. So, Kuwait is walking on very thin ice. I mean, the entire, all these regimes in the Persian Gulf, including Oman, including Oman, they're walking on very thin ice. They will not survive if this continues. And when these regimes collapse, then you're going to have a, and the map will change, and we're going to have a different situation. But the upper hand will obviously be with Yemen. I mean, they've survived a genocidal war. What is Saudi Arabia going to do to them? What's the United States going to be able to do to them? We see how Iran has been fighting over the past five months. It's just. It is for the United States, it will be. If it is for the Israelis, it will be catastrophic. But, you know, again, it goes back to what we've been discussing previously. Why is the Israeli regime pushing for all this? I think it's because Netanyahu is, and his people, they just want to remain in power. But in my opinion, they're destroying the Israeli regime. By weakening the United States, by weakening US proxies in the Persian Gulf, they're not going to get any stronger. But the resistance will grow stronger, no doubt. I mean, look at Yemen today and compare it today with two days ago. It's obviously in a very powerful position. And Yemen's missile bases are all underground, like Iran's. And it's mountainous. In other words, bases are much better protected. The mountains make it literally impossible to destroy those bases, just like Iranian underground bases. But also, you know, when you look at the fact that the United States failed to destroy any of Iran's missile bases, that raises the question, and I don't have. I don't have, uh, I'm not privy to, you know, secret information in Iran. But Iran's nuclear installations, which were bombed, those that were deep underground, why should we believe that they were destroyed? I mean, the head of the US Defense Intelligence Agency was fired when he basically rejected Trump's claim that they were obliterated. But when all the Iranian missile bases and drone bases and underground factories are intact, why should we believe that the nuclear installations are destroyed? Because it's the same engineers who designed all of these. So, why would this one in particular be more vulnerable? So, I personally, and probably probably less vulnerable because they don't want, in case of attacks. I mean, the United States and the West, they don't care if people are contaminated with, uh, due to an attack on nuclear installations. They don't care about radioactive leakage. They have no humanity. I mean, look at Gaza. Look at the genocidal war they carried out in Yemen. So, I think that the Iranians will probably. They may have protected the underground nuclear centers even more than they protected the. They provided more protection for them, even more than the sort of protection that exists for the missile bases. That's how I see it, at least. Again, it's not based on any information that I have. I don't have any information. It's not based on, like, access to the people who are involved in engineering or anything like that. But when the Americans failed to destroy a single missile base, a single missile base, across the country. I mean, I think it was the Yaz missile base that they kept bombing with B-52 bombers, and they got nowhere. So, why should we believe that they were able to destroy the underground nuclear facilities? And then, Yemen, obviously, its mountainous, too. So, the sturdy mountains protect those their own underground bases. So, they're at an advantage to their antagonists, whether compared to their antagonists, whether it's the Saudis or the Israelis or whoever, or the Americans.
But one of the main targets in Iran is Pickaxe Mountain. They're talking about it. They're, you know, they brought the B-1 bombers from the United Kingdom to the region. If they attack, for the first time, it's maybe they're going to use these B-1 bombers, the bunker busters. They're not as strong as B-2, as I, you know, my understanding is that based on the information available online. But when it comes, it's not something new for Iran. They attacked Pickaxe Mountain before, and they're somehow feeling again and again and again. Maybe they do something there. And what do we know about the latest attacks on Pickaxe Mountain, and how effective was that? Because that could be helpful for them for the next round of, you know, attacks. And what is the perception on the part of Iranian and the capabilities of the United States to hit that?
Well, first of all, I have no idea what exists under the mountain or the mountains. I have no idea. But two things. One is this again shows how the West lies, and how they're completely dishonest. If, as Trump claimed, the Iranian nuclear program was obliterated, and they will not be able to revive for years, then why after such a short period of time are the Israelis now saying that the installations are under this mountain? So, they're just lying. They were lying then, and therefore, you can assume that they're lying now. Um, but beyond that, regardless of what exists under there or whether perhaps nothing exists under there, I don't know. I mean, it's not my ex, you know, my area of expertise, and I again, I'm not privy to that sort of information. But the Iranians have already said, "You strike this mountain, and you will get a very severe response across the region." Iran has said very openly that the critical infrastructure of the regimes that are complicit in this war, that enabled this war, that have Iranian blood on their hands, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the Emirates, Oman, perhaps Jordan, maybe, that they will be punished. And look at what Yemen did last night and this morning. So, if that's what the Americans want to do, they will. If there's something underneath, I doubt they'll be able to destroy it. I doubt they were able to destroy the installations that they bombed in the three nuclear installations that they bombed, based on the fact that they couldn't destroy any of the underground missile cities and the drone cities and the cities with Iranian military speedboats and so on. So, it's just going to create further devastation, and Iran is not going to be intimidated. Iran is not going to back down. Iran will continue the war, and they should have. They should have already known this because again, let's just remember what Trump was saying during the 40-day war. He's going to obliterate Iran. He's going to send it back to the Stone Age. He's going to wipe out the civilization. Did Iran back down? No. The United States ultimately went from unconditional surrender to accepting the Iranian 10-point plan on day 39-40. So, why should Iran be intimidated now? It will just provide Iran with an opportunity to take revenge, or let's say to retaliate, not revenge, to retaliate, which will be an act of a legitimate act and a retaliation. The Iranian threat of retaliation is a deterrence. It is. They do it so it won't continue. So, Iran will retaliate, and US proxies, they'll suffer. And when they suffer, the US suffers because again, the Americans cannot separate their economy. I mean, someone said a couple of people, some couple of people I respect have been saying that the Americans want to destroy the oil and gas installations in our region so that they can have a monopoly. Doesn't make sense. I mean, yes, true, some billionaires in the United States will be making huge amounts of money. But the US economy will crash, and consumers will suffer the consequences. The Americans can't escape this. So, I don't. I don't see this as some plan by the United States to have control because if the US economy collapses, I think that will lead to instability in the United States, and people will be angry, and they'll know who caused it. I don't think that that would be in the interest of the empire at all.
Here is what Zelenskyy posted. He said, "Ukraine continues applying long-range sanctions in response to Russian strikes. Last night, the warriors of our defense forces hit targets across different regions of Russia that are fueling this war. In some part, it says it mentions that we also achieved very strong results with long-range strikes in the Caspian Sea, including vessels used in military cargo shipments involving Iran, as well as a warship." And he said, basically talking about that they hit an American Russian military cargo bound for Iran.
Bound for Iran or Russia? Because I read that it was like Iranian weapon, Iranian ammunition going to Russia, but it doesn't make a difference.
Yeah.
Either way, look, this is war. War. But the fact is that Zelenskyy is losing the war. And they can hurt Russia. They can strike more power plants. They can strike more refineries. They can strike more ships. But the Russians are going to do far much, much worse. And this is draining the European economies. It's Ukraine is going to go downhill. True, Russia suffers, but Ukraine is going to lose. And so simultaneously, by waging the war in Ukraine and their war on behalf of Zionism and the Israeli regime in our region, they are fighting on multiple fronts. That's that helps Russia, and that helps Iran, and that helps the axis of resistance when they are dividing their energy on these different fronts. And they're vulnerable everywhere. And of course, Russia is a key exporter of energy. Our region, the center of energy exports. The vulnerability of the global economy is clear for everyone, and the US economy, of course, too. And the Iranians, their capabilities are clear. The Russians, their capabilities are clear. Yemen, its capabilities are growing much more clear to us now. And then, of course, Iraq, and you know, it's a. It hasn't shown its. As they say, they haven't shown their cards yet. So, the West has created a catastrophe for itself on multiple fronts. So, yes, of course, they'll hit a couple of ships here and there. They'll kill a few Iranian soldiers here and there. They'll murder some Iranian school children. I mean, the Americans are good at killing kids. So the Israelis. I mean, they'll do more of that. Perhaps they'll bomb us. Perhaps Americans will decide to bomb a school in Sanaa, you know, kill maybe 100 or 200 little girls there too. That's, you know, it's for them, it's quite normal. But they're not going to win the war. They're going to lose.
