Pepe Escobar : It's DANGEROUS to Be Right When Government Is Wrong
"First of all, Judge, they were prepared for this war. They have been preparing de facto for this war in practice at least since the early 2000s, at the time of the axis of evil in 2002. General Soleimani was the mastermind of what we can say is the military strategy of the overall axis of resistance. After his assassination, everybody that worked with him started to implement what later became known as the decentralized mosaic military strategy."
According to the guest, Iran spent over two decades preparing a sophisticated military strategy that ultimately defeated Israeli and US forces in a recent 39-40 day war. The strategy, developed by assassinated General Soleimani and continued after his death, involved coordinated attacks by Iran, Hezbollah, Houthis, and Iraqi militias using decentralized tactics that targeted American military assets while avoiding civilian casualties. The guest claims this approach not only succeeded militarily but won Iran significant political support across the Global South, all while Western intelligence agencies failed to anticipate or counter it.
