🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸 COLONEL DOUGLAS MACGREGOR: WHY THE IRAN STRIKES WERE PAUSED

Douglas said the protests in Iran were real at the beginning. People were angry about the economy.

But they were never actually close to bringing the government down.

He said intelligence agencies tried to push those protests into a full regime-change situation, but it didn’t really work.

Iranian security forces shut it down.

At that point, strikes didn’t make much sense, not because they were off the table forever, but because the U.S. wasn’t ready, and even if they moved ahead, it would be a longer air campaign led by the Air Force.

President Trump’s “massive armada” of warships moving into the Middle East in preparation for a possible attack on Iran are still more than a week away from being in position, according to a person familiar with the plans who spoke to Politico.

“It is instructive that the Iranians wanted to change the format and location of the talks, the U.S. initially said take-it-or-leave-it, but now apparently accepted the change of venue,” Michael Ratney, the U.S. Ambassador to Saudi Arabia under President Joe Biden told Politico. “Trump doesn’t seem to want war with Iran - and he may be listening to his friends in the Gulf.” Some Arab officials believe that that is the case, specifically those who have been in recent close contact with the White House.

According to four Arab officials from two countries, the President and top aides have listened to their concerns about a potential attack on Iran leading to counter-attacks on neighboring countries, such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar, that could spark a protracted large-scale regional conflict with Iran. Officials have also warned about what they view as likely retaliatory efforts by Iran aimed at choking off oil exports from the region and driving up energy costs enough to cause a global economic crisis, possibly via attempts to block the Strait of Hormuz.

Some of the Gulf officials also warn that a bombing campaign, even one more intense than last June’s strikes by Israel and the United States against military and nuclear facilities in Iran, would likely not be enough to bring about regime change in the Islamic Republic. “This is a lot more complex than Venezuela,” one of the Arab officials said, referring to last month’s operation to capture the President Nicolás Maduro, in favor of his second-in-command who has shown a willingness to work with the Trump Administration.

"Have a plan for departing Iran that does not rely on U.S. government help.

Americans are told to stock up on food, water, and medications, find secure locations, and be prepared to adjust plans.

Flight cancellations and disruptions are possible with little warning."

Talks with Iran's foreign minister are scheduled for tomorrow in Oman.

But Washington is evacuating citizens, positioning special ops aircraft at Diego Garcia, and reportedly planning for regime transition at Mar-a-Lago.

The diplomacy track and the military track are both running at the same time.

🚨🇻🇪 🇺🇸 THE TRUTH BEHIND TRUMP’S “DISCOMBOBULATOR” AND HOW MADURO WAS CAPTURED

Col. Douglas Macgregor says the Maduro operation wasn't some technological marvel.

The US spent millions paying off everyone in the way, which is why air defenses stayed silent.

Only one battery appears not to have gotten the memo.

They fired and hit a helicopter, severely damaging it, but it didn't crash.

Douglas says people are talking about marvelous technology, but technology doesn't guarantee anything when you're flying into an air defense nest.

A lot of people were paid off to look the other way.

Trump's "discombobulator" weapon?

Macgregor says he's exaggerating and refuses to discuss classified capabilities from his time in the Pentagon.

But Washington analysts still reportedly think military action is more likely than a breakthrough.

Message for Iranians from Crown Prince @PahlaviReza:

“To my brave compatriots in Iran,

Our magnificent national revolution, the Lion and Sun Revolution, is an unparalleled epic of solidarity, empathy, and national unity.

Contrary to the efforts of the Islamic Republic and its accomplices to sow division and derail our movement, you have remained vigilant and patriotic, and with one voice, throughout Iran, you have shouted that you are one great, united nation under one flag.

You have shown that regardless of which city or province we come from, which dialect or language we speak, what religion or beliefs we have, or do not have, we are all Iranian and determined to reclaim our beloved homeland.

You have courageously taken to the streets across Iran—let me emphasize: across all of Iran—under a hail of bullets, declaring what you do not want and crying out for what you do want.

Your bravery has shaken the foundations of this occupying regime. Your voice has awakened the world. Your sacrifice and devotion will not be in vain. Iran will be free.

And to all those who wish to join us on this path, I say: hear the voice of Iran’s great and united nation.

The Lion and Sun Revolution welcomes all who accept these four principles: preserving Iran’s territorial integrity; individual freedoms and the equality of all citizens before the law; a secular democracy based on the separation of religion and state; and the people’s right to freely choose their form of government.

Once more, I honor with respect, sorrow, and deep anger the everlasting memory of our brave fallen women and men who gave their lives for our homeland. Let their loved ones be assured that the prosecution and punishment of those who ordered and carried out this massacre, and the realization of justice, are certain.

Today, as we stand more united than ever and closer to freedom and democracy, I pledge to safeguard your trust and our unity with all I have. Together, we will reclaim and rebuild Iran.

Long live Iran,
Reza Pahlavi”
