The New Dark Age

While corporate outlets recycle Pentagon talking points about a “heroic rescue attempt,” after Iran devastated U.S. Military assets MintPress geoplitical analyst Robert Inlakesh helps answer the questions everyone is asking:

Why did Fox News accidentally admit hundreds of US special forces are already operating inside Iran? And how did Hezbollah’s cheap, commercially-available FPV drones just rewrite the rules of asymmetric warfare?

This isn’t just about one mission. It’s about the collapse of US air supremacy, Israel’s existential inability to fight on the ground, and the Gulf monarchies being positioned as cannon fodder for a war they didn’t choose.

On this episode of the MintCast, MintPress News director Mnar Adley breaks her silence after being targeted by a MAGA extremist, and dives deep into Day 27 of the US-Israel war on Iran with iranian political analyst Ali Alizadeh who is based in London and Robert Inlakesh, MintPress staff writer and MidEast Geopolitical analyst.

Trump thought he could decapitate Iran’s leadership and the whole country would collapse. He was dead wrong. On Day 27 of the US-Israel war on Iran, the opposite has happened: Iran is more united than ever, US military bases across the Middle East are being systematically destroyed, and Israel’s air defense systems are running dry.

The White House is now claiming they achieved “regime change” – but that’s a lie. Iran’s new leadership is more anti-imperialist than ever, and they have a message for US troops: “Come closer and find out.”

Dimitri Lascaris, Award-winning Corporate Lawyer, Activist and Journalist of the Reason2Resist channel joins me for a wide and deep chat on his return from a 10-day trip to Iran during which he felt the pulse of the embattled but brave country and its people. He was already talking to politicians and ordinary people before he became something of a celebrity after his breakdown at witnessing an badly wounded and unconscious child on life support who had lost all her family was videoed and appeared on national TV. Thereafter, people would greet him on the streets, talk and express their thoughts and feelings, about their country, the war and their determination not to give in.
