The United States Navy will clear the Hormuz Strait within a few days. Iran is utterly resistless against its assailants and the pretense of any ability to conduct a defence of attrition, let alone aspire to underdog sentiment for their plucky stubbornness is just an illustration of the stupidity and moral bankruptcy of much of the western media. The spectacle of commentators who couldn’t tell a B-2 from a Piper Cub masquerading as von Clausewitz reciting strategic inevitabilities is, at least, amusing. Two weeks of war has led to claims that it is dragging on, is already a “forever war,” and even that the United States is losing and that the Joint Chiefs of Staff had no plan. Yet Iran has almost no military force left. The air force and navy, republican guard command structure and all air and missile defenses, have been almost completely destroyed. On Feb. 28, Iran launched 350 missiles and on March 14, 25. In the same, period drone launches fell from 800 to 75. All this is after two weeks in which the United States sustained eight combat fatalities and five others in an air crash that had nothing to do with enemy action.
