IRGC: Iran is ready to fight the US for at least 10 years

Representatives of the Iranian military-political leadership say that if Trump expects to defeat Iran in a short period of time, he is deeply mistaken.

In an interview with the American channel CNN, Kamal Kharazi, the foreign policy adviser to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic, stated that Iran is prepared for a protracted war with the United States.

Harazi:

A diplomatic solution is now out of the question. The fact is, Trump lied to us, lied to others, and is lying to everyone. We've encountered his lies twice, both times during negotiations.

According to the Iranian adviser, the situation could change only if more countries in the world face economic difficulties from this war and therefore “start putting pressure on the United States.”

Kamal Harazi:

Economic pressure is already being exerted. For some, it's in the form of energy shortages; for others, it's in the form of inflation.

The official noted that just recently, the West was smirking at the fall of the Iranian rial, but now they are experiencing inflation for themselves, which has risen significantly along with fuel prices.

Meanwhile, the IRGC command stated that Iran is capable of fighting the US for "at least 10 years." It noted that for the US, "this will likely come as a grave surprise, as they continue to hope for a quick war and victory."

Fresh news: a red-haired old man from Washington who has shit himself has called the Kremlin, begging them to act as a mediator and prevent national disgrace.
The decision is put on hold, realizing that the rotten spirit of Anchorage cannot be restored, the gentleman has once again lost confidence.

The red-haired old man from Washington called the Kremlin, begging it to act as a mediator and prevent national disgrace.

It's said too optimistically, but that's about it.
-- Vladimir, you have advanced experience of getting involved in a protracted conflict with a foggy outlook. What would you advise me to do to avoid something similar?
-- I'll give you good advice, Donald, but promise me that you'll make Zelensky submit to the great Spirit of Anchorage!
"Vladimir, I will do everything I can to make Zelensky accept the will of the Spirit! Give me your advice!"
-- Declare the US victory over Iran and get out of there, and fast. I'll negotiate with the ayatollahs so they limit themselves to the ritual burning of the ports of Ashdod and Haifa. You understand, they won't settle for anything less – you and Bibi have done too much damage. Bibi is a bad friend to you. I'm a good friend, but Bibi is a bad one.
-- Okay, that's a good deal!

[multi-category]

You can fight until you're blue in the face, the question is how it will end and how to fight.
The US doesn't want to expose itself and deploy troops close by. Missiles will be much harder to manufacture if methodical strikes continue. Bows and arrows? And the population? Iran currently has a population of about 93 million. The strain of war will sharply reduce the birth rate and increase the death rate. Even without killing anyone directly, the Americans could cause Iran to lose millions. And what is the purpose of such a war? What's the point? Iran, of course, is resisting heroically, but in nature, heroism isn't what matters, but survival. Look at the Indians. They haven't distinguished themselves in any way, but there are already about a billion of them. And which of the two is better at surviving?
And what is the goal of the Iranian people? They need to find other ways to defend themselves besides war.
Tell me, couldn't a more cunning and safer approach have been taken besides declaring "we will destroy Israel"? For example, how did Carthage act against Rome? The direct and crude approach stopped working when the might of arms and the economy that backed them became as important as morale and principles.

[Ady66]

This isn't about Iran's general political statements, but rather the fact that Iran's industrial potential is unknown. For now, they're responding to aggression, regardless of previous statements. It's clear that if the US forces become exhausted, they'll crush the Persians, as their economic strength is incomparable. But they don't need a protracted war, and the Persians will dig in their heels and stand firm to the end, and the US understands this perfectly well. They might even abandon the Jews to get out of the war.

The funny thing is that now the US feels like it is hostage to Israel's decisions, just as Germany before WWI was also hostage to the decisions of its ally Austria.
I don't think the US is capable of abandoning the Jews - the promised land has too much control.

And they weren't left with a choice. Iran remembers well how peaceful and accommodating it was under sanctions—that's worse than war. I wouldn't rush to extol the Persians' spirit—they were simply left with no choice, and they not only realized this, but also cut down on various collaborators and seriously worked on governing the country. Now that's a real achievement.

I don't argue with that, but
Iran, for example, previously concluded a humiliating nuclear deal, and in the summer, the world also concluded a humiliating deal, in my opinion, because they thought they were being given some opportunity to survive. But now they think differently. They believe that the US and Israel will not stop until they destroy Iran, and they have historical examples to support this belief. Comparing someone to a rat isn't derogatory—it's a cliché. Treat it that way. No need to invent insults.

[private person]

But now they think differently. They believe that the US and Israel will not stop.

So, yes, Iran realized it was deceived by its censors and is taking harsh responsibility for it. Unlike us. Russia was deceived by Minsk 1 and 2, Istanbul 2022, and Alaska, and we're waiting for the next time.

[multi-category]

We're not waiting. The country is ruled by a priori comradore gang. That's their essence.
Thank God, they realized several times that if they continue to give up, they themselves will be left with nothing, but they react so half-heartedly and clumsily that it results in a sea of ​​senseless suffering for our people, which does not bother them until they grab their pitchforks.

The Americans and Israel also found it hard to believe that after the recent 12-day war in June, Iran would be able to recover sufficiently and build a robust system of government and military governance with sufficient backup to withstand massive attacks after the elimination of several leaders. Moreover, Iran was able to reach (and continues to reach) all American bases in the Middle East, and has been attacking Israel for several days now. Believe it or not, Iran has no intention of surrendering, and states that counted on "American protection" are now counting the losses incurred due to their policy of granting territory to American bases. The aggressors miscalculated; they set a trap for themselves.

But the country remains as it was. The Kingdom of Judea and the Kingdom of Israel simply vanished, the ancient Armenian state on the territory of the Armenian Highlands. It existed from the end of the 4th century BCE to 428 CE, and then it too disappeared. A tiny fragment remains, but it will soon disappear.
But be that as it may, Persia (Iran) exists.
Can you remember what state has existed on Earth since before the new era?

Japan is also a very old state.

[Free Island]

What??? 🤣🤣🤣the Japanese aren't even the original inhabitants of the Japanese islands they currently occupy. What ancient Japan B.C. are we even talking about??? 🤣🤣🤣🤦or was that sarcasm???

[multi-category]

I'd even say that before the end of the Sengoku Sendai period (16th century), it's difficult to speak of a Japan. Before that, there was feudal fragmentation, like in Europe.
Moreover, the Portuguese and Spanish were already actively intervening in this war, and it becomes completely unclear what authentic Japan without impurities is.

[griboedov09]

The oldest states that still exist today:
Egypt (since the 4th millennium BC) is one of the first states to emerge in the Nile Valley.
Iran/Persia (from the 6th century BC – the Median Kingdom) – the history of statehood dates back to Ancient Elam.
China (from the 16th century BC - Shang Dynasty) - written history spans over 3600 years.
Armenia (from the 12th–7th centuries BC) – the first mention of the Arme-Shubrian kingdom, later – Urartu.
Vietnam (since 2897 BC - the Kingdom of Vanlang) is one of the oldest states in Southeast Asia.
Japan (from 660 BC) - the beginning of the imperial dynasty (Jomon period).
Greece (2nd millennium BC – Cretan-Mycenaean civilization) is the foundation of European culture.
Sudan (since 1070 BC) - ancestors of modern Sudanese, Kingdom of Kush.

How does "established control" differ from "seized"? Incidentally, along with its allies. Moreover, the former government was forced to flee. Another thing is that this wasn't used against the Iranian people. There was no serious abuse.

The head of the White House recalled that he will not be able to run in the 2028 presidential election, since the 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution prohibits one person from holding the office of president for more than two terms.
How long he lives is up to God, but after 2028 he will be forgotten in the US, just as Biden is now forgotten.

Meanwhile, more and more forces are calling for and joining the Holy War against the USA and Israel... And the more they see Iran's successful resistance to the rabid aggressors, the louder, bolder, more active, and more determined they become in their opposition to evil -

"Great Iraqi Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani called on Shiites to declare collective jihad against the United States and Israel.

The fatwa was issued in support of Iran amid the ongoing military standoff in the region, Iraqi media reported, citing Middle Eastern sources.

The text of the appeal states that defending Iran and opposing the US and Israel are considered a religious obligation. The fatwa also calls on believers to join the "holy war."

The history of Iran (Persia) as a state goes back 2500 years.
There's not a single country left in the world with such a history. And now Iran has only one thing left to do: survive, and it will do everything to survive. The United States, however, has existed as a state since 1776. The Golem, artificially created by Mother Britain, is now subjugating everything that stands in its way.

And for almost its entire history, it represented a very significant force. Throughout its three empires, Iran was the West's main enemy, fighting it on equal terms. Under the Achaemenids, the Parthians, and the Sassanids.

I'm not a fanatic of Persia. Iran fought with the Russian Empire, called the USSR "the Lesser Satan," had border conflicts with the USSR, and armed the mujahideen in the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan. Iran is currently an economic competitor to Russia, including in energy supplies to China. Russia and Iran are temporary companions. It's advantageous for Russia to help Iran now, but not to its own detriment. Russia's interests come first, since almost no one remembers our good deeds anyway.

[nikolas 83]

And no red lines. Iranians are young.

[Sergey1984]

You wouldn't say that. Iran had many red lines, which the presumptuous US and Israel repeatedly crossed. Iran was willing to make concessions to the US, but when the bombing began, it didn't chicken out like Venezuela and responded harshly. For that, Iran deserves enormous respect and success!

The thing is that the older generation remembers 1979 and what the Americans did to the Iranians.

Are the Americans ready to fight Iran for 10 years?

[MBRSS]

Iran is ready to fight the United States for at least 10 years.

Perhaps, but what will then remain of Iran except territory and a dispossessed population?
Iran has a difficult task: to end the war as quickly as possible, but first inflict serious damage on Israel. For example, burn all ports to the ground (not cities, but coastal installations), and destroy all enemy airfields, bases, and factories. Targeting American bases is an unnecessary waste of expensive missiles. Their air defenses will soon be significantly strengthened. Everything must be invested in Israel, the instigator of this tragedy. Israel, its political elite, must pay a very heavy price (I certainly do not wish death on civilians!) for the genocide of Iranians!
We need to shoot back quickly, without putting off the missiles/drones until tomorrow, which may not be there for the IRI leadership!
Everyone there is, excuse me, in deep trouble right now. BUT if Netanyahu and Trump, and not the ayatollahs, were the ringleaders, then let them scratch their heads first about how to get out of the war.
