The United States Cannot Defeat Iran

The Fictional Mental Illness That Only Affects Enemies Of The Western Empire

The War on Iran is not Over
by Larry C. Johnson | Jun 26, 2025 | Featured Articles
I don’t know why Iran agreed to the ceasefire, but it did. Iranian leaders, in my opinion, are frighteningly naive. Some apparently believe that they can achieve a legitimate negotiated deal with Donald Trump. I suggest the Ayatollah and IRGC commanders read Donald...
