Description

Support our work: https://democracynow.org/donate/sm-desc-yt Ali Vaez, the Iran project director at the International Crisis Group, says the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran has transformed from a "war of choice" to a "war of necessity" as Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz sparks a worldwide oil crisis. Vaez discusses President Donald Trump's "mixed messages" about U.S. military strategy and warns that "mission creep" could set in if Trump refuses to "exit this war and accept that he hasn't been able to achieve most of his strategic objectives."

To the IRGC, Stay alert and prepared. Keep your fingers on the trigger and do not let your guard down. The Zionist regime's claims of peace are nothing but tactical deception.
