PNN – Referring to five sources of Iranian power, the editor of Rai Al Youm emphasized that Trump’s reserves of lies have also run out and are no longer effective.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, Abdul Bari Atwan, editor-in-chief of the trans-regional newspaper Rai al-Youm and a prominent Palestinian analyst, in his new editorial for this electronic newspaper, addressed Iran’s complete control over the Strait of Hormuz and confronting the naval blockade imposed by the United States, writing: The re-closing of the Strait of Hormuz by the Iranian leadership, preventing the entry of oil tankers and commercial ships, and the firing of IRGC boats at two ships in protest of the blockade of Iranian ports by the US Navy are all signs that, individually or collectively, emphasize the strength and solidity of Iran’s position against American arrogance and its simultaneous readiness to confront all the consequences of this courageous decision, both at the political and military levels, including the collapse of the temporary ceasefire agreement.
Trump’s lies no longer affect the balance of war
Atwan added: US President Donald Trump has spread many lies in the past few days, claiming that Iran has raised white flags and surrendered to all US conditions, including his claim that Iran is ready to hand over all its enriched uranium (460 kilograms) to the United States in exchange for $20 billion in aid, and more importantly, to stop all uranium enrichment activities.
The article continues: Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei issued a strongly worded statement on Saturday, stressing that Iran’s navy was ready to defeat its enemies once again amid ongoing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. The Khatam al-Anbiya Central Command of the Iranian Armed Forces also quickly accused the United States of failing to live up to its commitments and declared that Iran would continue to control the Strait of Hormuz until the United States lifted its blockade of Iranian ports and restrictions on ships from entering and leaving.
Atwan stated that, considering all of the above, it can be concluded that the fragile ceasefire, the two-week deadline for stopping the fighting, and the quick return to negotiations after two days have all collapsed like houses of sand, and perhaps the option of a return to fighting is possible.
According to this memo, the truth is that Iran had never asked for a ceasefire, while it was Trump who was seeking and begging for it; because all his threats to destroy Iranian civilization, open the gates of hell on Iran, and bomb all power plants did not result in intimidating Iran and forcing it to submit to all US conditions, and that is why Trump resorted to Pakistan to mediate and organize quick negotiations with the Iranian side in order to save his face; if indeed there was any face.
The editor of the Rai Al Youm newspaper stated: The final days of the fighting, which took place before the ceasefire was announced, revealed many defeats suffered by the American forces, the most prominent of which was the downing of twenty aircraft of various types, especially the MQ9 drones, each worth 25 to 30 million dollars, and the F-35 stealth aircraft, which are the jewel of the American air defense, in addition to other types of aerial refueling aircraft, and the advanced F-15 fighter jets.
Abdul Bari Atwan emphasized that what the current US administration has understood is that Iran will not be like Libya or Iraq or Venezuela, and has become resistant to all American and Israeli acrobatic tricks; such that it will never surrender its enriched uranium. Iran also has explosives, brains, and hypersonic missiles that are capable of building advanced weapons and using them, and delivering them to their targets, whether in occupied Palestine, to aircraft carriers in the Red Sea, or to American bases on land.
5 Sources of Iran’s Power in the War with America and Israel
He added: The most important sources of Iran’s power can be summarized in five factors, all of which contradict the war doctrines of America and Israel:
-First, the Iranian army and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps are ready to fight until martyrdom to achieve victory.
-Second, expanding the scope and circle of the war in a way that encompasses the entire region.
– Third, the destruction of all US military bases in the region.
– Fourth, the return of as many American soldiers as possible to their country in coffins.
– Fifth, the prolongation of the war and its transformation into a war of human and economic attrition for the enemy.
At the end of this article, it is emphasized that the next few days may be the most dangerous days for the region and the world, and that Trump faces great challenges, especially since he has exhausted his entire stock of lies and deceptive threats, and we just have to wait.
