TRUMP'S TEAM NEVER UNDERSTOOD THE MIDDLE EAST – w/ Fmr. U.S. Navy Malcolm Nance
"If I were Iran, I would destroy, you know, a US airbase in Jordan. Just level it. You know, 10, 15 F-35s, US airborne forces that are stationed there lose 10, 15 soldiers. And you say, from this point onward, everything Israel does, the United States is going to be punished for. Now you have— you've made— got Trump above a barrel anyway with oil. And now you've got to get Trump to beg Bibi Netanyahu to stop what he's doing."
Malcolm Nance outlines a potential Iranian retaliation strategy that would target US military assets instead of Israeli ones if Israel assassinates Mojtaba Khamenei. He describes a scenario where Iran would launch a surprise ballistic missile attack on American airbases in Jordan, destroying F-35s and killing US soldiers, then announce that all future Israeli actions will result in American casualties. Combined with closing the Strait of Hormuz and controlling oil flows, this would force Trump to pressure Netanyahu to stand down.
