Alastair Crooke, Danny Haiphong: Iran OBLITERATES US Air Base & HIMARS, Trump’s War IMPLODING
by Danny Haiphong [7-13-2026] Alastair Crooke(bio).
(RAD: Alastair Crooke shares a lot of valuable insights about the tragic conflicts between the US, Israel, Iran & the Persian Gulf, based upon his extensive diplomatic involvement in the Middle East. The Iranians have a long term strategy and are deep thinkers who understand the dynamics of all of the key players. They control the escalation ladder of conflict, not the US.
Trump doesn't have a long term strategy. There is no pathway to victory for the US. Trump has become emotionally involved. He can't bring himself to admit that he was wrong to fight Iran in 2015 & again this year. He always has to blame someone else. He is a tragic figure in the sense of Greek tragedy. He is on edge & is heading towards self-destruction. Because of his personality, he can't seem to save himself. These conflicts on the world stage will likely destroy him. & cause a lot of damage in the world along the way. — RAD)
