Joe Kent: I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
A man of indisputable character proves it again.

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS
and @DNIGabbard
and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.

If U.S. “boots on the ground” were inserted into Iranian territory, the response from the Iranian military would almost certainly be rapid, asymmetric, and multi-layered, rather than a conventional tank-on-tank war alone. Iran’s doctrine is built around making any invasion extremely costly and politically unsustainable.
If U.S. “boots on the ground” were inserted into Iranian territory, the response from the Iranian military would almost certainly be rapid, asymmetric, and multi-layered, rather than a conventional tank-on-tank war alone. Iran’s doctrine is built around making any invasion extremely costly and politically unsustainable.
Below are the most likely responses based on Iranian military strategy and past behavior.
1. Immediate Military Engagement
Iran’s regular armed forces (Islamic Republic of Iran Army) and the elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) would likely attempt to engage invading forces quickly, especially near landing zones or border crossings.
Typical actions could include:
Artillery, missile, and drone strikes on U.S. troop positions
Ambushes and mobile warfare using terrain such as mountains and urban areas
Anti-armor and anti-air systems targeting vehicles and helicopters
Iran has spent decades preparing for a defensive war on its own territory, where geography favors defenders.
2. Shift to Guerrilla and Attrition Warfare
Even if U.S. forces achieved early tactical successes, Iran would likely transition to a long war of attrition.
The IRGC and its branch, the Basij, could mobilize large numbers of irregular fighters.
Tactics would likely include:
Urban insurgency
Improvised explosive devices (IEDs)
Hit-and-run attacks
Use of tunnels and fortified urban zones
This strategy is designed to prolong the conflict and increase casualties, making a foreign occupation politically difficult.
3. Regional Escalation Through Allied Militias
Iran’s strategy rarely stays confined to its own borders. The IRGC’s overseas arm, the Quds Force, has relationships with militias across the Middle East.
In a U.S.–Iran ground war, these groups could attack U.S. interests:
Hezbollah in Lebanon
Shiite militias in Iraq
Houthi forces in Yemen
Other regional networks
Targets could include:
U.S. bases
Embassies
Shipping routes
Regional allies of the United States
This spreads the conflict across the region.
4. Missile and Drone Attacks on Regional Bases
Iran has a large missile arsenal and has demonstrated willingness to use it, such as during the 2020 Iranian missile strikes on U.S. bases in Iraq.
If U.S. troops entered Iran, Iran could:
Launch ballistic and cruise missiles at nearby U.S. bases
Conduct drone swarms
Strike logistics hubs in neighboring countries
5. Maritime Disruption in the Persian Gulf
Iran could also try to disrupt global energy supplies by threatening shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
Possible tactics:
Naval mines
Fast-attack boats
Anti-ship missiles
Drone attacks on tankers
This could raise oil prices globally and increase international pressure to end the conflict.
6. Cyber and Hybrid Warfare
Iran has developed significant cyber capabilities and might target:
U.S. infrastructure
financial systems
energy networks
military communications
Cyber attacks would likely accompany physical combat.
✅ Overall:
Iran’s likely strategy would not rely on defeating U.S. forces in conventional battle. Instead, it would aim to:
Inflict steady casualties
Expand the conflict regionally
Disrupt global markets
Prolong the war until political pressure forces a withdrawal
This approach is sometimes described by analysts as “layered asymmetric defense.”

'Americans don't TRUST Trump...': Chuck Schumer GRILLS POTUS over Iran war in fiery Senate speech - The Economic Times
US Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Thursday accused President Donald Trump of lying about a report that said a US military investigation found American forces may be responsible for a deadly strike on a school in Iran. "As the war on Iran continues, Donald Trump does what he usually does. He lies. He's lying to the American people," Schumer said on the Senate floor. His remarks came a day after Trump told reporters that he did not know about the recent findings. A preliminary US military investigation concluded that American forces were responsible for a Feb. 28 strike on an Iranian elementary school, the New York Times reported Wednesday, citing US officials and others familiar with the findings. Schumer cited public reporting suggesting that preliminary intelligence assessments indicate US military operations may have been involved in "this horrible missile strike" on the all-girls Iranian elementary school, killing more than 170 victims. "When Donald Trump was asked about those reports, what did he say? He said, 'Well, I don't know about that.' "That's ridiculous, and it's an obvious lie," Schumer said.

Judiciary chief denounces deadly strike on Minab school, vows strong retaliation
Tehran, IRNA – Judiciary Chief Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei has issued a message of condolence over the martyrdom of dozens of schoolgirls in the city of Minab, saying that the Iranian Armed Forces will definitely avenge the killings.

He strongly condemned the attack, describing it as another proof of “crimes against humanity” by the US and Israel.
The Judiciary chief extended his heartfelt condolences to the victims’ families, teachers, and classmates. He said that the Iranian Armed Forces will definitely take revenge on “American and Zionist child-killers.”
So far, at least 85 students have been confirmed dead in the US-Israeli airstrike on the school in Minab, Hormuzgan Province. The attack took place on Saturday morning when the two regimes began airstrikes on different Iranian cities.

SVO anniversary: with what, with whom and when exactly it all actually started
https://ru.sputnik.kz/author_strelnikov_kirill/
The trigger for the start of the special operation was pressed much earlier
ASTANA, Feb 24 - Sputnik. Disassembling the ruins of the former Ukraine is a long job, writes RIA Novosti columnist Kirill Strelnikov. The text is below.
Today marks four years since Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the start of a special military operation.
This decision was preceded by a series of critical events: on February 21, 2022, Russia recognized the independence of the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR); the Ukrainian authorities began to draw tens of thousands of soldiers to the borders of the republics in order to "finally suppress the rebellion"; on February 23, the heads of the DPR and LPR appealed to Russia for help, asking for protection from aggression by Ukraine.
Nevertheless, it is quite clear that the trigger for the start of the SVO was pressed much earlier, namely on February 22, 2014.
The day before, against the background of long and bloody riots, representatives of the Ukrainian authorities and the main opposition parties signed the Agreement on the settlement of the crisis in Ukraine, which was signed by the foreign ministers of France, Germany and Poland, as well as the head of the EU foreign policy. Within the framework of the implementation of the agreement, a large-scale amnesty, elections at the end of the year, and most importantly - "constitutional reform with the participation and full consideration of the opinions of all regions of Ukraine for subsequent approval in a national referendum, as well as the formation of a legitimate government of national unity, taking into account the interests of all political forces and regions of the country".
In other words, for those who wanted the peaceful development of Ukraine, all doors were opened and all conditions were created.
But no.
On February twenty-second, 2014, armed militants occupied government residences and institutions, the Rada instantly removed Viktor Yanukovych from power, changed the constitution and appointed Speaker Turchinov, aka Bloody Pastor, as acting president. Powerful European "guarantors" urgently got under the closet, and no one else ever remembered about these guarantees.
Russian President Vladimir Putin called the incident an "unconstitutional coup and an armed seizure of power" and asked a question more than relevant in the current anniversary of the beginning of the SVO: "For what? Why was it necessary to engage in illegal, unconstitutional actions and introduce the country, to drag the country into the chaos it is in today?"
As the witness of those events, British analyst and Labour Party expert on foreign policy David Morrison recalls, "if the agreement had been implemented, it is very likely that the current confrontation between the West and Russia would never have happened, and it is possible that with joint actions of the EU and Russia, Ukraine could be directed towards a stable and inclusive form of government, such as an independent state."
The same thought on the anniversary of the coup d'état was voiced by the Ambassador at Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry for the Crimes of the Kiev regime Rodion Miroshnik: "As a result of the coup d'état in 2014, Ukraine embarked on the path of self-destruction to please other people's interests".
As a result, the coup led to a break with Donbass in the east and a subsequent military offensive on it by the new authorities in Kiev, which made the SVO inevitable.
There is no point in citing figures comparing that Ukraine and what is left now. That Ukraine is destroyed forever - both economically, politically, demographically, and mentally. The only comforting carrot to maintain the spirit: "There is a prospect of joining the EU".
But the cruelest irony is that at the end of 2013, under the terrible "pro-Russian" Yanukovych, Ukraine was much closer to the EU than it is now, and it would be possible today to have a peaceful "European" Ukraine with a friendly eastern neighbor - without any special and non-special military operations.
At the time of the armed coup in Kiev, Ukraine signed 30 (!) agreements, including the visa liberalization agreement and the deep free trade area agreement, and was already ready to sign the Association Agreement with the European Union, which the EU considered as the beginning of a full-fledged "political association and economic integration".
The "pro-Russian" Yanukovych himself stated that the "European choice" remains for Ukraine "a strategic direction of further civilizational development, strengthening the place and role of the country in the modern competitive world".
The formal reason for the riots was not the refusal to join the EU at all, but Yanukovych's reasonable request for postponement: "The country needs to take care of minimizing the negative consequences of the initial period of association with the EU, which will be felt by the poorest residents of the country."
But the militants, who had been trained in various NGOs for many years for the money of Americans and Europeans, could no longer stop and did not want to, because no one needed a peaceful Ukraine, but needed anti-Russia.
What's the result? A few days ago, the head of European diplomacy Kallas finalized the great results of Euromaidan: "I do not see the readiness of the EU countries to give Ukraine a date of membership. There's a lot of work ahead."
Indeed, to disassemble the ruins of the former Ukraine is a long job. And maybe forever.
