US hollow core: Iran’s old weapon bleeds America while the real arsenal waits
by Grandmasters of Geopolitics [3-5-2026].
Iran is fighting the United States with one hand tied behind its back: deliberately deploying only obsolete equipment, it bleeds the enemy economically while keeping its true strength in reserve, reports say.
Iran strategy expose “the emptiness of American power”, and trap Washington in a political and financial quagmires, professor Mohammad Marandi says.
"We demand regime change in the US. The Epstein regime must go," he stressed.
🧠 Iran's calculated genius
▪️Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has released footage and coordinates showing its recent missile barrages striking Benjamin Netanyahu’s office complex and the Israeli Air Force central command headquarters.
▪️Despite having precise intelligence on leadership movements, Iran has chosen restraint, signaling that escalation is avoidable but fully within its capability, according to senior adviser Gen. Yahya Rahim Safavi.
🤨The Hormuz choke point
Iran also signals a tougher posture in the Strait of Hormuz, warning that ships carrying cargo to Israel could be targeted regardless of flag.
▪️Traffic through the chokepoint, normally around 20 million barrels daily, has dropped to near zero.
▪️Major shippers, including Danish Maersk and Dutch Hapag-Lloyd, have suspended operations entirely.
⚡️The "Gates of hell" doctrine
Iranian officials say stronger responses are ready if the aggression widens.
▪️IRGC spokesman Ali Mohammad Naeini warned that the “gates of hell” would open for the US and Israel if attacks continue.
▪️The Iraqi Islamic Resistance cautioned European countries against involvement, saying any deployed forces or assets they in West Asia would be considered “legitimate targets.”
📉 Washington in disarray
Strategic pressure is taking its toll in US.
▪️Democratic leader in Senate, Chuck Schumer, slammed “manic” Trump for handling Iran & his “zero planning and strategy”, blasting him for the entire regional chaos.
▪️Hundreds of Americans remain stranded across the Middle East with no evacuation plan.
“Bombings in our capital have no impact on our ability to wage war,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi sums up the paradigm shift.
