Mr. Alon Mizrahi, Israeli journalist
:
We are witnessing a historic moment. To general surprise, Iran is destroying American bases with such meticulousness, such scope, and such determination that the world is unprepared for it.
In four days, Iran has managed to expand its sphere of military influence in the region. It has destroyed the most precious and expensive military bases, assets, and equipment in the world.
The American bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia are among the largest military installations in the world. Their construction has cost trillions of dollars over several decades. The bulk of the military spending accumulated over more than thirty years has gone up in smoke.
We see radars worth hundreds of millions of dollars each being destroyed in an instant. We see entire military bases abandoned, set on fire, looted, and destroyed. And I tell you, to my knowledge, the United States has never suffered such destruction in all its history.» Except perhaps Pearl Harbor, but that was just one attack among others.
No enemy, in a conventional war, has ever inflicted such treatment on the American armed forces as what Iran is currently inflicting on them. It's hard to believe. The military situation is so grave that censorship is blocking almost all new information about this conflict. You've probably noticed it—we're getting less and less information each day.
The United States is supposed to be the world's greatest military power, with the most formidable air capabilities, and yet, on the fourth day of the American offensive, which was supposed to breach Iranian defenses, we see no sign of American dominance in Iranian skies.
So where are all the videos of our planes flying over Tehran or any other part of Iran?
And to understand just how desperate this war is, you only have to consider that on the fourth day, we're already hearing the most outlandish proposals and ideas from the Trump administration.
They're proposing to send military escorts for tankers leaving the Persian Gulf. What are you talking about? You want to send American ships into the zone of destruction from thousands of Iranian missiles? Now, no one can get through the Strait of Hormuz anymore.
The Iranians have been preparing for this for decades. They're floating the idea of arming Kurdish militias to invade Iran. What are you talking about? Have you ever seen a map of Iran? It seems the Trump administration has never seen one! Do you realize its vastness? What does it mean to invade Iran? Do you think a militia of 10,000 men could invade Iran? Or even 50,000? Or 100,000? Iran would swallow them whole.
The United States and Israel have already lost this war. The United States and Israel can kill millions of their civilians. They have powerful bombs and can destroy buildings, but they won't win this war. Iran's military infrastructure and weaponry are deeply buried underground throughout the country. Neither the Americans, nor especially the Israelis, have the slightest chance of reaching them. They are in a desperate situation.
They've started something they have no chance of finishing. When all this is over, the United States will never set foot in the Middle East again. There will be no more American presence in the Middle East.
I assure you of that with certainty.
