Analysis of Larry Johnson and Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson

In a fresh episode of Joe Danny High's show, erstwhile CIA analyst Larry Johnson and retired army colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, who was besides erstwhile chief of staff for Colin Powell, discuss the latest escalations in the mediate East.

The conversation focuses on Iranian attacks on an American patrol vessel in the Gulf of Ormuz and drone and rocket attacks on the port and industrial region of Fujihra in the United arabian Emirates (UAE). Experts interpret these events as Iran's direct reaction to "Freedom Project’ Trump And a informing signal that the conflict is far from over.

Last hours and days events

According to reports from Iranian media, Iran attacked a U.S. Navy patrolman who, he claims, violated fresh shipping rules in the Strait of Ormuz. Just a fewer hours later, a cargo ship caught fire off the coast of the United arabian Emirates, and there was a massive fire in the Fujir industrial region – caused by drones or maneuvering missiles.

Iran presents these actions as a clear informing to the US: Donald Trump's Freedom Project, designed to warrant freedom of navigation, violates the ceasefire and is simply a provocation.

The guests agree: the war has rekindled. Larry Johnson describes Trump's actions as a sneaky maneuver to circumvent the War Power Act (War Powers Act). After 60 days legislature should have decided to proceed the war. Instead, Trump announced the termination of the erstwhile operation (Operation Epic Fury) and immediately started a fresh one.

Johnson criticises this as a "paradise" and legally dubious as troops have already been deployed for over 64 days.

Why the Freedom task is doomed to fail

Experts explain in item what would mean to actually keep the Strait of Ormuz “open”. Iran has mines, underwater drones, submarines, submarines, aerial drones, coastal defence missiles, and short and average scope missiles. Eliminating these threats would require immense land and sea forces, which would entail considerable losses. The land offensive would gotta penetrate 150–200 miles into Iran – a militaryly unrealistic scenario.

Colonel Wilkerson added that the movement had previously been mainly held under Iranian "monitoring". The U.S. declaration of doing something they cannot accomplish seriously harms their credibility and the global economy (oil prices, global supply chains). J.D. Vance reportedly presented a likewise sober interior assessment.

Iran's strength and unified leadership

Contrary to Western narratives about interior division, Johnson underlines the strong unity of Iranian leaders. president Pezeshkian, abroad Minister Araghchi, talker of Parliament and Ayatollah Chamenei – many of them come from the muslim Revolutionary defender Corps and collectively experienced the bloody Iraqi-Iran War (1980–1988). This “fraternal bond” creates stronger coherence than always in the 46 years of the muslim Republic.

Iran expanded and tightened its 10-point plan to 14 points: No negotiations on the atomic programme without a solid peace agreement. Iran reserves all rights as a signatory to the atomic Non-Proliferation Agreement. Guests believe Iran has a clear advantage: de facto He controls the road and can decide who can pass.

American propaganda and reality on site

Johnson and Wilkerson are critical of CENTCOM reports. The claims about the demolition of six Iranian motorboats were exposed as propaganda – the Iranian Navy was already severely weakened. The United States is denying its own losses (e.g. harm to USS Abraham Lincoln, ship fires, navigation strategy failures)At the same time, exaggerating their successes.

Trump himself tweeted that everything is “ 100% efficient” and Iran was “fully destroyed”. Reality: no free shipping, rising tensions and an upcoming economical shock.

Economic consequences – tsunami is coming

Guests issued a strict informing regarding the global impact on the economy:

The failure of about 20% of global oil reserves.
Fertiliser deficiency (urea 35%), liquefied natural gas (25%), helium and sulphuric acid.
Gas prices are already rising noticeably (in Florida by 50 cents in a fewer days, in California to $6.60 a gallon).
Indeed, oil place prices on the real marketplace are importantly higher than those of manipulative futures.

Larry Johnson compares the situation to the tsunami: The first "peace" (a falling waterline) is deceptive – the tsunami wave is coming. Trump administration drastically underestimated the chain reaction.

The situation in Israel and the function of Netanjah

Colonel Wilkerson describes Netanjah as a man coming down from a cliff, hanging in the air. Israel suffers massive losses in Lebanon (in people, equipment and morale), and PTSD and suicide rates are highly high. Israel's "defensive forces" hide these losses. At the same time, force is expanding in the West Bank, and Wilkerson sees Israel and the United States as trapped in self-insulation.

Is the U.S. empire going down?

Both guests see the current policy as a sign of the collapse of the empire:

No allies (even South Korea is asked for aid in vain).
Exhausted weapons supplies (Patriot rockets, uncommon earth minerals from China).
Public debt explosion.
Isolation from China and Russia, which openly support Iran.
Internal disappointment at the Pentagon.

China openly ignores US sanctions. Putin warned against sending land troops to Iran. U.S. manufacture expensive, inferior-quality weapon systems (e.g. Dark Eagle) while their opponents act more efficiently. Wilkerson points to the corporate arms manufacture since planet War II – "bad products at advanced prices".

Trump “has no cards”, Johnson points out: the US needs more than the another way around. Moreover, Iranian memes and intelligence operations show how much we are losing control of the narrative.

End of discussion

The conversation ends with a sobering perspective: the United States and Israel are in a strategical blind alley that risks exacerbating by further escalation (possibly fresh attacks within 24 hours). alternatively of deescalation, there is simply a spiral of economical difficulties, military losses and political isolation in the air. For Americans, this means above all an increase in prices and a fall in quality of life – coupled with the erosion of global credibility.

Johnson and Wilkerson indirectly advocate a fair assessment of the situation and an orderly withdrawal, alternatively of further erroneous decisions on the costs of drowning.

Whether the Trump administration is capable of that, time will tell. The coming days and weeks will most likely be crucial – not only for the mediate East but besides for the global order.
